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.
