Underground clinic blown up?

Date: 021211
Planet: Lok
Region: Southern Lok

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

Last night residents of southern Lok near Bastion were rudely woken during the night by a loud explosion coming from the hills. When a search party reached the area, expecting a crashed starship - farmers had observed a light freighter, probably a red YT-2400, flying at low altitude and unsafe speeds - they discovered the ruins of an underground bunker which had been blown up from inside judging by the pattern the debris had left.

The remains of several armored humanoids and what appeared to have been an air defense turret built into the side of a cliff were also found, as well as traces of blaster and cannon fire, indicating an attack and not an accident had caused the explosion.

According to the search party they found broken and destroyed medical equipment, which points to the structure having been an underground clinic or hospital of sorts, maybe a laboratory, though no further clues regarding the structure's owner or purpose have been found.

The investigation was slowed by several so far unexplained malfunctions of the droids tasked with sifting through the debris. One engineer that was trying to repair the droids developed a sudden, very painful headache and was admitted to the closest med center.
