Planet: Rori
Region: Central Rori
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Last night a camp of marauding gungans which had raided farms in central Rori for some time was attacked by a hired force of mercenaries. According to some reports the mercenaries were led by a former RSF operative.
The farmers were forced to resort to hiring mercenaries after RSF had declared that this was out of their jurisdiction and the military forces of both the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic were unavailable, engaged in combat with each other in the Restuss area.
The attack was a success, all raiders were killed and their camp secured though it is rumored there was a case of friendly fire, fortunately not a fatal one, and some looting by the mercenaries. The mercenaries were not available for comments, having left the planet on board of a YT-2400-class light freighter.

Galactic Empire under pressure - desperate measures taken
Date: 291111
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Bestine
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
With the forces of the Galactic Empire in the local sector under increasing pressure by the advancing soldiers of the Alliance to restore the Republic, and with no reinforcements coming forth, it seems that desperate measures are being taken by local commanders.
According to recent rumors an Imperial unit on Tatoonie has taken to recruiting militia members and civilians with minimal military training and having them put on storm trooper armor with orders to "act the part" in an attempt to bolster their numbers. Others report a shift from conventional to guerilla tactics to deal with being outnumbered by Alliance troops.
So far neither has had much success - while Bestine was ertaken recently by Imperial forces it was not held for long, Alliance troops quickly restored control of the capital of Tatooine. Many Imperials are facing increasing difficulties when trying to travel on several planets in the sector, their movements restricted to a few starports not under Alliance control.

AEG-77 crashes north of Farpoint Valley
Date: 251111
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Last night the traffic control of Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, received a distress call of the AEG-77 class medium freighter "Ebony Blade", captained by Barrenger Fynar. The ship had suffered engine and power failure during it's landing approach, after a fire had broken out on board.
A rescue team was formed from local volunteers and headed to the point north of the town where the Ebony Blade was hovering with the help of a Nova Courier piloted by Falcun Nix. Shortly after the team arrived the Ebony Blade's repulsorlifts gave out and it set on the ground, pushing the Nova Courier into the closest dune as well.
The team then boarded the ship and started battling the fire and jury-rigging repairs to save it. After two hours the last of the fires was extinguished and the ship's system had been repaired to the point of it being able to reach Mos Entha, where it will be full repaired in the days to come.
The operation claimed one wounded and a damaged astromech among the rescue team as well as several droids attached to the ship - some of them were apparently used for spare parts for the systems.

Sugar Rush rushes through
Date: 241111
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.)
Four days ago the Intergalactic Mining Company hired Captain Britney's YT-2400 "Sugar Rush" to transport ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system. Contrary to recent convoys this time no escort was hired. Apparently IMC manager Kimisei Bythmi trusted the ships experienced captain and her two gunners to fend off any pirate attack.
The ship reached the Corellia System, where it was attacked by two unidentified fighters, a Vaksai and an X-Wing, shortly after arriving in system. The "Sugar Rush" engaged the fighters and managed to down both of them in a short engagement before continuing towards Ord Mantell. The freightar itself was not damaged during the fight, not even the pink paint was scratched (to the dismay of some other spacers, if one can believe the rumors on the station).
IMC shares rose 1 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Wookiee killed in Mos Taike
Date: 241111
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Taike
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Two days ago a violent confrontation took place in the basement of the cantina in Mos Taike, during which a male wookiee was killed with a bladed weapon in one of the cellar rooms. Eye witnesses reported another wookiee leading a group of armed humanoids inside prior to the killing, looking for a so-called "madclaw", and some reports claim the two male wookiees fought each to the death in a duel, though this seems to be mostly hearsay.
The body of the victim could not be recovered since it was carried out and loaded on a speeder by the suspected assailants, who departed swiftly after one of them had a shootout with members of the local garrison.

Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Last night Deep Space lit up again with clashes between forces from the Alliance to Restore the Republic and the Galactic Empire. Even with the Alliance forces advancing on numerous planets and being close to control the entire sector, the Imperial soldiers and pilots have not given up yet. While a successful attack was launched on the still alliance-controlled Bestine, various Imperial pilots engaged the Alliance fighters in Deep Space, achieving space superiority over the system for a limited time.

Party in New Kestic a success

Planet: Lok
Region: Eastern Lok
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
New Kestic on Lok has suffered a devastating attack by Hutt-sponsored mercenary and droid forces a bit ago, and is now still being rebuilt. The residents however are not letting this keeping them down, and celebrated their city being rebuilt two days ago with a grand party.
Blasters & Sunburns, represented by Dee'lin Sarlo and her bandmate, ladies' man Norge, were providing the entertainment for the guests and residents, heating the local cantina up with classic and new songs such as Eternal Twilight, Booster Blues, Outer Spice, Last Stand and Venom.
Not to be outdone though Lynese, assistant to Mayor and CEO Amandiona Masnachwr, which was attending the party with her boyfriend Arzesaeth', launched a truly impressive fireworks display that left the audience in awe and netted her at least two offers of employment, which she declined though.

Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
After two years the Tusken Trophy Swwop Race was once again held in Farpoint Valley, sponsored by the Intergalactic Mining Company. Two days ago not just a swoop race, but also an open challenge where any non-space worthy vehilce was allowed were held, and numerous racers competed for the 1'000'000 credit prizes in each race.
Barrenger Fynar won the swoop race and 1'000'000 credits, with Batair Highlander and Britney coming in at 2nd and 3rd places, winning 500'000 and 250'000 respectively.
The open challenge however saw local resident Batair Highlander as the winner on his AT-RT vehicle, beating Askisi Criso and Barrenger Fynar, the former driving a restored pod racer, the latter also riding an AT-RT. Again the winner took a 1'000'000 prize home, 2nd place 500'000, 3rd place 250'000.
Contrary to past races no tusken raiders tried to take potshot at the racers this time, nor were any other troubles reported, other than some navigational failures on some vehicles.

Pirate downed, crew doused in beer
Date: 171111
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.)
This week's convoy transporting ore for the Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system was formed by Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud" and Captain Britney's YT-2400 "Sugar Rush" and escorted by Barrenger Fynar in his Vaksai, "Krayt Dancer".
The convoy took off without trouble, but when Barrenger Fynar hypered into the Corellia system to make sure the hyperspace jump point was clear he was attacked by a pirate Scrugg and ended up disabled. The pirate tried to force the convoy to dump their cargo with the threat of killing the helpless pilot, but the "Sugar Rush" engaged the pirate, first driving him away, then shooting him down and foiling his ploy. After repairing the Vaksai all three ships reached Ord Mantell on schedule.
The following video was extracted from the flight computer of a destroyed pirate ship
In the Nova Orion Station's main cantina Captain Coron doused all female crew members of the convoy in beer. Whether this was an attempt to start a wet t-shirt contest or done in celebration or both remains unclear - Captain Coron vacated the cantina right afterwards, followed by Auros Drayen.
IMC shares rose 1 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

The Raving Rodians perform in Mos Eisley
Date: 171111
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Eisley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago the Raving Rodians, a trio of rodian dancers, performed in the Lucky Despot, Lady Valarian's casino in Mos Eisley. The three rodians were dancing to the tunes of Ikoogy Retoodi, a rodian businessman who is now acting as their manager as well as musician.
The performance was unmarred by violence - unusual for this place, where members of the MEPD are often shot by passing criminals - but shortly after the gig ended a fight broke out in the alleys surrounding the casino. According to the MEPD even heavy rocket launchers were used, and it was only through luck that the crashed ship the Lucky Despot was built in did not receive a similarly crashed neighbor.

Rebel General captured on Coruscant
Date: 141111
Planet: Coruscant
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
According to unconfirmed reports a fugitive Jedi and General of the Alliance to Restore the Republic has been captured on Coruscant, near or inside the old Jedi Temple. The Imperial Security Bureau apparently received reports from local residents that two suspicious humanoids had entered the condemned building. In response Stormtroopers were dispatched and searched the area. The general and her companion - allegedly a zabrak - were located and captured after a short fight in the Undercity.
Rumors claim they were brought to an undisclosed base off-world, where agents of the the Empire are awaiting word from Imperial Command to proceed further. Neither the general's nor her companion's names nor the reasons for their presence on Coruscant - far behind the frontlines of the Galactic Civil War - have been released to the public so far, but given how Alliance forces are advancing on almost all fronts it is being speculated that this was a covert ops to prepare the eventual assault on Coruscant itself.

New Kestic is being rebuilt after attack
Date: 131111
Planet: Lok
Region: Eastern Lok
Story: (Written oocly by Amandiona's player.)
Five days after the large-scale attack on New Kestic, Mayor and CEO Amandiona Masnachwr is speaking out. Rumors had been flying about sabotage and the amount of damage done to the city and factory, and she felt the need to clear things up.
She verified that the droid of a high ranking employee was the one who lowered the defenses around the cities' shield generator, allowing for an overhead strike to destroy it - and leaving the town open to the EMP burst. The droid was decommissioned, but the mayor has asked for privacy when it comes to the employee, only stating that the issue has been dealt with fully.
As for damages to the town, the starport took the worst hits and needs vast amounts of work to repair. Half of the city hall was burned to the ground and several smaller structures were leveled. The Future Droids factory sustained heavy damages to its surrounding walls, but the factory itself was unharmed.
Despite losing four of their own and having a dozen injured, the residents and employees have been hard at work rebuilding and it shows. They are planning a celebration and grand-reopening of the town at the end of the week. Amandiona stated that she was very proud of the people of New Kestic and is forever grateful to those who came to defend it.

Ninth Karaoke Night held in Farpoint Valley after hiatus!
Date: 131111
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Almost exactly three years after the last the Ninth Karaoke Night was held in the Grindhouse Bar in Farpoint Valley two days ago. To celebrate the revival, every singer got a surprize prize.
Captain Ryian Coron showed he was not just brave when it comes to space - he has been flying his YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud" despite growing pirate threats - but also on the stage, and started the night with "Jabba he knows me", a classic song. His surprize prize, a greenish egg, hatched during the night, and revealed a weird animal later identified as a Spined Puc. The animal took a liking to the captain, who was last seen running outside and calling for his pet gurreck, "Ruffy". Whether Ruffy ate the puc is not known at this point, neither Ruffy nor Ryian were available to comment.
Professional musician Dee'lin Sorla then took the stage, with the "No Instrument Blues" song.
Undaunted by the performance of Dee'lin, and only mildly encouraged by the rest of the audience as well as only lightly drunk, Barrenger Fynar sang "Danger Zone", an experimental one-liner.
Britney', Captain of the YT-2400 "Sugar Rush" and known for never traveling anywhere without her trusty slitherhorn handy, sang a sing from Parry Gripp, "Space Unicorn". By public acclaim she got two prizes!
Amandiona Masnachwr, mayor of New Kestic, followed, with the "Burn, Spider, Burn" song. She also let slip that sings that song often in her town.
Then Dee'lin got up again, premiering a new song of hers, "Venom", before the host Ramona ended the night with the aptly named "End of the Road".

Valiria Shaim asssassinated in Theed
Date: 101111
Planet: Naboo
Region: Theed
Story: (Written by the player of Valiria Shaim oocly.)
The twi'lek woman Valiria Shaim, claimed by some to be the infamous criminal Kegana Rimos, was assassinated today in the aftermath of the trial dealing with the events in which two allegedly corrupt RSF officers were slain, and another RSF officer, the twi'lek K'ora Milaro, was framed for a series of violent crimes. The court had found Shaim not guilty and granted her protection since it was concluded that her personal safety might be in danger.
As the transport shuttle was getting ready, several flash-bang grenades detonated in the hangar, and in the confusion an unknown assailant was able to assassinate Shaim and flee the scene before being detected. The RSF high command has so far not commented on speculations about the assassination being an inside job.
Prison picture of Valiria Shaim
So far there have not been further claims on the bounty on Kegana Rimos.

Three pirates shot down
Date: 091111
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.)
As expected last week, this week the Intergalactic Mining Company invested more in escorts for the freighters that transport the company's ore each week from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system. This week Captain Britney's "Sugar Rush", a YT-2400 light freighter, was escorted by four fighters - a Scrugg piloted by Golrin Lightinstar, an ETA-2 Actis interceptor piloted by "Rev", as well as Captain Edmuun Darkadder in his TIE Defender with a wingman in a TIE Inteceptor.
The Interceptor hypered into the Corellia System first to scout, and was attacked by three pirate ships - a Scrugg, an X-Wing and a Vaksai. The Interceptor broke off and led the pirates to the waiting remaining escort fighters, who engaged them at once at the Bynaire Razorcat Jump Point. In a short fight all three pirates were shot down without any escort being lost.

New Kestic, the company town of the Future Droids and Weapons corporation, has been regularly attacked by small bands of mercenaries since months. Recently it was discovered that the attackers were paid and supplied by Hutts, and some expected that after the Hutts behind them had been exposed the attacks would cease.
Unfortunately this was not true. Last night the town suddenly was hit with an EMP device and both the shield generators and the droid defenders went offline, leaving the town vulnerable to attackers - which arrived right afterwards with several shuttles.
The security forces of the town as well as visitors willing to help rallied and soon were engaging wave after wave of invaders - mercenaries as well as combat droids of various types, some shuttles even dropped dangerous beasts such as acklays and a rancor.
The defenders' efforts were helped by an Imperial strike force led by Major Edmuun Blackadder, which had been operating against pirates in the area and rushed to the city when news of the attack hit. Sadly some of the troopers were killed by friendly fire in the fog of war.
Finally the main force of the invaders arrived - a small army of Gamorrean mercenaries, attacking from the south-west. The battered defenders made a stand, supported by air attacks and artillery strikes, and managed to cause enough casualties to the attackers to drive them away, leaving the field covered in corpses.
An investigation regarding the cause of the EMP strike and possible sabotage is underway according to CEO Amandiona Masnachwr.

Imperial officer shot dead in Farpoint Valley
Date: 091111
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Two days ago Major Meica Coubrian, the replacement for Colonel Mareh Welaspic, was shot and killed in Farpoint Valley, outside Jailbirds. According to the information available she had just finished inspecting the club and was on the way to her office when she was confronted by a fellow imperial officer who was off-duty. In the following dispute the Major was shot with a blaster and died before local medics could reach her.
Captain Edmuun Blackadder arrested the shooter and took him into custody. His identity and current status are unknown though according to unconfirmed rumors he has been released in the meantime. Captain Blackadder as the highest ranking remaining officer in the area was promoted to Major to fill the vacancy left by Major Coubrian's demise.
While the mayor of Farpoint Valley, Kimisei Bythmi, was quoted stating that he was not aware of the incident, having been busy in the IMC office (which is just 80 meters away from the location of the shooting) before, during and after the incident, anonymous sources claim that Major Coubrian had acted very erratically during her inspection, verbally assaulting visitors and trying to usurp the authority of the planetary commander, General Yovel.

Stone Valley destroyed!
Date: 091111
Planet: Dantooine
Region: Stone Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Three days ago disturbing news from Dantooine reached the agency. Apparently the town of Stone Valley was destroyed by the Galactic Empire, despite wide-spread protests. According to the information available Mayor Malt Stone was accused of harboring rebels, and in response the city hall was leveled to the ground by TIE Bomber strikes. The city authorities managed to evacuate most civilians in time though a few members of the militia were kileld during the attack.
Given the state of the Galactic Civil War, with the Empire retreating on most fronts or barely holding on to its strongholds and core bases, such a barbaric act can only be deemed a matetr of desperation on the Empire's part.

Freighter attacked during delivery of droids
Date: 061111
Planet: Corellia System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Two days ago a freighter carrying droids from New Kestic, Lok, to Corellia, came under attack by what looked like pirates in the Corellia System. The pirates were very aggressive though and kept pressing on despite heavy losses, and rumors claim of a few messages of a personal nature being sent to the freighter and/or its escorts, so this may be more than a mere act of piracy.
The attack was ultimately unsuccessful though, the droids - manufactored by the Future Droids and Weapons corporation - were delivered to their destination without loss. The shipping company, Tualin Merchant Fleet, was not willing to comment on the incident yet though.

IMC Convoy escapes from pirate
Date: 061111
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 Intergalactic Mining Company sent two YT-2400 class light freighters, Captain Britney's "Sugar Rush" and the "CORT Everstar" of Captain Golrin Lightingstar with ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system. The two freighters lifted off without much trouble - some minor technical difficulties and internal disputes were reported from the crew of the "Everstar".
Upon entering the Corellia System though an unmarked and unidentified YT-1300 attacked both freighters, chasing them and damaging both extensively during a lengthy battle. If not for emergency and jury-rigged repairs both freighters would have been lost. As it is they managed to hyper out under fire and reach he Ord Mantell system battered, but with their cargo intact.
IMC shares rose 1 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news, though several analysts are expecting the company to have to spend more credits on escorts again in the next convoy.

Wampa sighted in Farpoint Valley
Date: 061111
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Last week the residents of Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, were treated to an unusual - to say the least - and dangerous sight: A wampa was strolling through the desert town. A few locals and visitors banded together to hunt the menace down before it hurt anyone, and managed to track the Wampa to the nearby Oasis, where it was hunting banthas. The wampa was shot then and there.
Unfortunately the smell of the carcass or sound of the fighting attracted bigger predators - the hunters had to defend themselves against a Krayt Dragon, another unusual sight in the area. They managed to kill the animal without loss of life though.
How an animal native to Hoth ended on Tatooine is not clear, but authorities suspect someone's pet or tropy animal escaped. Any creature handler or beastmaster who might have lost a wampa in the area is hereby asked to report to the mayor of Farpoint Valley to collect what's left of it, and to settle the financial compensation due to the town for any damages caused by it.
