Last night an imperial task force was gathered in the local sector for a multi-system search and destroy mission. The objective of the operation was a rebel command ship coordinating rebel fleet movements in the sector. The task force consisted of three gunboats, interdictor ships and about 20 fighters.

The force soon encountered a rebel presence and found their movements hindered by rebel-aligned interdictor ships. While initially able to stall the task force and even strike at their flagship, the slightly outnumbered rebel ships were slowly pushed back and trapped while losing several of their interdictors, until the command ship was isolated and destroyed. Both sides were hampered by technical problems which caused multiple ships to lose steering and communications, drifting helplessly until their systems could be rebooted - or until they were destroyed while still in the process of restarting their computer cores.

The following records show part of the operation, including the attack on the rebel command ship and an interdictor:
