According to the latest news Arklem Qeq, infamous pirate, is wanted by the Nova Orion Station's authorities again. Three days ago the YT-2400 "Midnight Eclipse" approached the station and landed in its hangar. Station security started to inspect the ship and the crew disembarked and entered the station's main area.

Soon afterwards the security officer in charge of the inspection reported a bribery attempt to the imperial garrison, who locked down the hangar. The ship's crew noticed this, and started a firefight in their attempt to break out, which led to the death of several stormtroopers. More deaths resulted when the main hangar doors were blown up, causing an explosive decompression in the hangar area. According to rumors Arklem Qeq himself was almost kileld there as well, but managed to save himself in the last moment.

The "Midnight Eclipse" was pursued by several TIE Fighters and marshall Bas'ten's KSE Firespray but the pirates got away. As a reaction to this incident the station managment has placed a bounty of 25'000 credits on Arklem Qeq's head, and a bounty of 15'000 credits on the heads of two of his acocmplices. Interested bounty hunters are asked to contact the station's administrator, Iskar Kreed, for further details.
