Last night merchants dealing with the jawas at their trade meet west of Fort Oasis reported seeing flashes of blaster shots in the distance, in the direction of where Black Sands was located before the city was destroyed. When a curious traveler ventured there he found the remains of half a dozen Droidekas, Clone Wars era battledroids, which judging by the traces had just recently been destroyed.

Since the weapons used looked to be mostly blasters, not slug-throwers, marauding Tusken have been ruled out as being responsible for the attack. The jawas operating nearby claimed to have not seen anyone but customers that wanted to buy droids, and denied selling battle droids when questioned.
