Planet: Deep Space

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

Last night the Galactic Empire lost the Imperial Star Destroyer "ISS Relentless" in Deep Space during an attack on a rebel-controlled space station. The "Relentless" was leading a task force with several gunboats and a large fighter screen, but the rebel forces present in the system were more numerous than anticipated, and able to not only beat back the attack but overcome the Relentless' defenses and destroy the Star Destroyer.

Imperial sector command cited technical troubles with several gunboats as a reason for the defeat.

Planet: Ord Mantell System

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

Last week XTS convoys were attacked and savagely destroyed by unknown raiders in the Ord Mantell system on two occasions. As an XTS representative reported to the local garrison on the Nova Orion Station, the attackers flew snubfighters of various models and went after the transports first, destroying them before dealing with the escorts.

During the second attack transponder codes were noticed that point to the so-called "Canyon Corsairs" from Lok, infamous pirates, as the attackers, but the investigation hsn't concluded.

After two successive victories the Alliance to Restore the Republic suffered a defeat last night when an imperial task force took control of several star systems from them with a well-planned and executed offensive operation.

Last week the IMC hired two light freighters, the Nova Courier-class "Flame Out" owned and captained by Britney, and the "Kairn Tol", a YT-2400 captained by Seela Tualin, to transport ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell. Ahl-Vinn in a TIE Fighter and Nellari in a rhikxyrk flew escort.

The convoy was attacked by a pirate near the Deep Sea hyperspace jump point. In the following fight the pirate was shot down, but Ahl-Vinn's ship took damage and needed repairs before the trip could be continued to Ord Mantell.

Planet: Endor System

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

The offensive of the Alliance to Restore the Republic launched last week continued last night with a daring raid on an imperial supply base in the Endor system. Despite a heavy fleet presence in the sector the rebels arrived to board the station and escape with valuable supplies while imperial vessels were tied up in several skirmishes in other systems.

IMC Convoy reaches Nova Orion without trouble

Date: 130311
Planet: Tatooine/Corellia System/Ord Mantell System
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

The legal troubles that hampered the last convoy are solved, or so it seems, since the IMC-chartered freighters "Soda Pop", a Nova Courier class ship owned and captained by Britney, and the Y-8 "Celestia Belle" of veteran captain Barrenger Fynar, escorted by Kar'ista's ARC-170 "Condor", made the trip from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell without difficulties of that kind.

They were, however, difficulties of the pirate kind, though easily overcome. A single pirate attacked and was shot down by the convoy and its escort in the Tatooine system and the cargo wsa delivered safely to the Nova Orion Shipyards afterwards.

Imperial Navy pushed back in the sector

Date: 060311
Planet: Local Sector

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

After last week's battle in Deep Space the entire local sector saw heavy fighting last night, when a rebel push towards Corellia through several systems was only stopped in Corellia proper.

The rebel advance seemed to take the imperial forces by surprise, at least sources in the know state that two systems were overrun before there was a response by the sector fleet, and even so the rebel advance, spearheaded by half a dozen gunboats, continued until a final imperial counter-attack in Corellia.

The following record was released by the sector fleet HQ and shows part of a battle in the Tatooine system:

IMC Convoy encounters red tape

Date: 060311
Planet: Tatooine/Corellia System/Ord Mantell System
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

Six days ago, the Y-8 class medium freighter "Celestia Bell" made the trip from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell carrying ore for the Intergalactic Mining Corporation. The ship was escorted by Falcun Nix.

The ship was attacked at the "Desert Sands" Hyperspace jump point in the Tatooine system by a pirate, which was quickly shot down, During a stopover in the Corellia systen another pirate attacked and was dispatched as quickly.

The convoy ran into serious trouble only after landing at the Nova Orion Station, when the ship's documentation was deemed insufficient, which led to a heated
n exchange of words between the acting captain, the crew, representatives of the Yard as well as IMC management. The current status of the delivery was not made public.
