New Troopers in Mos Eisley

Date: 240408
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Eisley

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

Storm trooper operations in Mos Eisley often see a lot of casualties, due to the amount of violent criminals and rebels in the city, ready to fight at the drop of a hat. In the past, several stormtrooper units operated in the city despite the losses, some managing to restore something ressembling order, if only for a limited time. The 488th Law Enforcement Division, the IXth Legion, Dark Infantry, the 13th, ITAF are among the units who patrolled the streets.

These days, there seems to be a new unit assigned to the hive of scum and Villainy. According to rumors, they have the nickname "Hand of Judgement", and in true stormtrooper tradition, shoot first and bag bodies later.

If this new unit's placement happened in response to casualties taken earlier by other units is unclear, but as a few people already learned, the new unit's troopers shoot quicker than others. Some of the town's regulars might do well to be a bit more careful when drinking at their favorite watering hole.
