Planet: Tatooine
Region: Crimson Ridge
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
According to some sources Crimson Ridge was the victim of a scam a few days ago. Apparently the city had placed a bounty on a trandoshan, which was claimed by a group of hunters when they brought in the mark. Only after the group had left with the credits already did the city officials find out that the trandoshan delivered to them was not the one they had put the bounty on.
From what is known the trandoshan is now suing the city while the hunters as well as the original mark are still at large. Whether this was an honest mistake or a scam is not yet sure, but circumstances point at it being the latter.
People wanting to place bounties are advised to be careful before releasing any payment. An insider in the bounty hunter guild also stated that there had been several incidents in the past where unscrupulous bounty hunters "clear" a bounty on a friend by faking the death and claiming it. The guild itself didn't comment on those claims, only stating that the bounty in question placed by Crimson Ridge had not been run through the guild's system.

Garux Reitor killed!
Date: 291110
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Carova
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Yesterday the rodian Garux Reitor was brutally killed in Mos Carova. According to a number of accounts the rodian had a meeting with a human male in a bar in town, apparently an old acquaintance. An acquaintance that was holding a grudge, as it turned out, when the human used the opportunity given by someone else knocking Garux Reitor from behind to draw a blaster and aim it at the well-known arms dealer and information broker.
Witnesses claim that Mister Reitor remained calm in the face of imminent death, probably the result of having survived several other assassination attmepts in the past, one as late as last week. Showing no remorse but admitting gleefully to past crimes the rodian was shot after a last cigarra - the often over-used "execution-style" tag was a perfect fit in this case.
The killer managed to escape in the brief firefight following the murder. According to some sources other criminals were already racing to grab what they could of Mr. Reitor's assets before the dead rodian's body had even reached the med center and his brains were cleaned up from the cantina floor.
Another rumor claims that the Glaston Pirates had the med center under lockdown, but given how oftne the town suffers from violent incidents, that could very well be unrelated to this murder.
With Garux Reitor leaving stock that could be worth millions as well as potentially equally valuable information some residents fear that a new gang war may result of this murder as several syndicates struggle to get as big a piece as they manage of the estate.

Rustbucket Salvage & Repair burned down!
Date: 291110
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Carova
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last week the Rustbucket Salvage & Repair was shaken by multiple explosions and set aflame, crashing down in a blaze after a short time and leaving only twisted, glowing metal. The cause of the explosions is not known, but foul play is suspected - two men dressed as Sennex were killed by a posse in the area around the time of the explosions. It's unclear if anyone else was killed or hurt in the incident.
In an ironic twist salvage operations in the remains of the building were underway the following day, pioneered by jawa scavengers.

Pirates take revenge on convoy
Date: 211110
Planet: Tatooine/Corellia System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last week the "Night Hawk", Captain Ironhide's YT-2400 light freighter, once again made the trip from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell carrying ore for the Intergalactic Mining Company. The freighter was crewed by Inaera Kell, Ramona and Batair Highlander and escorted by Ahl-Vinn, Barrenger Fynar, Falcun Nix and Verene.
Shortly after leaving Tatooine's orbit the convoy got attacked by three pirate ships. Despite the surprise attack all three ships were shot down while one escort was lost.
The convoy reached Nova Orion without further incident, but after delivering the cargo the crew and pilots were attacked in the local cantina by a vengeful pirate with heavy weapons. Outgunned the spacers barely made their escape from the station - only to find themselves pursued by an advanced X-Wing. Only after a lengthy chase through several system was the raider finally shot down.
The "Night Hawk" returned to Farpoint Valley for repairs and the crew relaxed in the Rusty Bucket Saloon.
IMC's stock went up 1% at the Coronet Stock Exchange, after a volatile trading day.

Two weeks after Black Sands was destroyed in a bombardment, passing travelers reported a strange structure having been erected in what used to be the center of the city:
The owner of this structure as well as its purpose is unknown, but people taking a closer look reported an "eerie, ominous vibe", as if it amplified the desolation left by the destruction of the city.

Imperial Fleet takes control of more systems in the sector
Date: 071110
Planet: Various systems
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
One day ago space lit up again with blaster fire and missile trails as the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire's fleets battled for supremacy in the sector with task forces on both sides trying to take and hold objectives.
Contrary to other engagements this operation saw less pitched battles than hit-and-run skirmishes. The alliance forces had the advantage early on, but were slowly driven back by two imperial task forces, each centered around a gunboat flagship. After about an hour of fighting the Imperial Fleet had pulled off a narrow victory.

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
A week ago the Intergalactic Mining Company sent another freighter through Corellia to Ord Mantell. Captain Benjam flew his "Lucky Silver", with Spring' and Batair Highlander acting as gunners, escorted by Falcun Nix and Barrenger Fynar.
As hoped the convoy didn't encounter many difficulties. One unidentified ARC_170 attacked near the hyperspace point "Corellia's Own", but was quickly shot down by the two escorts.
Only technical troubles delayed the convoy somewhat, but after some jury-rigging all ships reached Ord Mantell's Nova Orion Station safely.
IMC's stock went up 2% at the Coronet Stock Exchange.

Jiwarri's Diner opens in Farpoint Valley
Date: 061110
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last week Jiwarri's Diner opened in Farpoint Valley. The wookiee chef has had a long career as caterer and was active as chef on cruises in the past, but hasn't had a diner before. Now, with her manager Ylurra taking care of the books and other administrative work, she can focus on cooking.
Located straight east of the town's shuttleport the diner is a cozy building, with family-friendly decorations, prominently among them Kashyyyk-styled miniature trees, and sturdy furniture. Upstairs an elegant dining room is available for parties who wish to dine in privacy. As entertainment a Galactic Tiles Arcade is offered, as well as sophisticated holographic and sound systems.
At the opening the diner was, inside and outside, decorated in the style of the Galactic Moon Festival, and some guests, among them the mayor of the town, were surprised if not to say scared by the holographic scares occasionally launched at them.
The main attraction though is Jiwarri's cooking, which was as great and tasty as expected, as a number of guests can attest to. Among them were Gwreng and his wife Amandiona, who had worked on the interiour decoration on the diner - according to Jiwarri she wouldn't have been able to open the diner without her - and several of their friends.
Gwreng and Leafbacca, Jiwarri's brother, together with veteran pilot Barrenger Fynar, spent almost more time at the arcade than eating though.
Also visiting were Ramona, Falcun Nix, Zinaida, Blissany and Ori'vod. The promise of genuine kashyyykian cusine attracted HarlieBear as well, a rather shy young wookiee girl, who nevertheless seemed to have enjoyed the outing.
