Imperial Navy stops rebels in Tatooine System

Date: 191210
Planet: Tatooine System

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

Last night the Imperial Navy launched a massive offensive to counter rebel efforts to take control of the Tatooine system while at the same time securing several other systems for the Galactic Empire.



Spearheaded by four capital ships and large numbers of fighters the task force achieved both goals with light losses. The numerically inferiour rebel forces were hampered by a lack of gunboats at the beginning of the battle for Tatooine space. Rumors also claim there was a mutiny among the crew of one gunboat.



After they lost their hold on the Tatooine system the Alliance ships were forced to turn to hit and run skirmishing tactics in order to try to disrupt the Imperial lines - without success. They further took heavy casualties when they were caught in a trap in the Tatooine system following in-system hyperjumps. The remaining rebel forces retreated to Deep Space.
