Rebel base destroyed on Tatooine

Date: 231011
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Bestine

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

According to a press release from the Imperial sector command two days ago Imperial forces operating under Lt. Colonel Mareh Welaspic, supported by AT-ATs and AT-STs and TIE bombers, destroyed a rebel base on Tatooine near Bestine.



With Bestine still "heavily contested" according to Imperial authorities - other sources call the situation "under rebel control" - the loss of a base might allow the local imperial troops to recapture the city, though time will tell if they can gather enough forces to achieve that. Given how the Galactic Civil War is increasingly dominated by Alliance Forces other systems closer to the Core might take priority compared to Tatooine. Lt. Colonel Welaspic might find herself assigned to a more important system in short order.
