Last night an imperial officer on leave was attacked next to the Farpoint Valley Shuttleport by two assailants later identified as Ihalle and his wife. The officer suffered several non-life threatening injuries and according to some reports was robbed as well.

Barrenger Fynar, who happened upon the scene, was shot at and wounded as well, though whether he came to the man's aid or was shot at by mistake is not clear. Later it was revealed that the victim of the attack was Colonel Amodeus DuCar.

The reasons for the attack are unclear, some anonymous witnesses claim DuCarr insulted the attackers' family, species, or both during an earlier visit to Jailbirds. Political motives cannot be excluded either though.
