Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the Imperial Navy detected a disabled and unidentified light freighter - a YT-1300 class ship - in the Karthakk system. In light of the knowledge that the system as well as its planet, Lok, was rife with criminal elements supporting the Rebel Alliance a task force was gathered immediately to secure the ship for further investigations.
Despite the speed of the task force - made up from elements of the DFA and Obsidian Dagger Squadrons as well as other imperial units - they did not find the suspected smuggler. Instead they met a small rebel task force which was covering the retreat of the freighter. The imperial pilots were unable to stop the YT-1300 from escaping the system but decimated the rebel ships.
But the amount of ships the rebel alliance sent to support the unidentified YT-1300 did confirm that the ship was a transport in the employ of the rebel fleet, and important enough to rate a significant escort force. Quick scans tracked the jump traces to the Dantooine system. Moving quickly the imperial fighters blocked the suspected destination, a rebel-affiliated space station, and soon were in combat again with the escort force of the freighter. In a prolonged battle they managed to drive off the rebel ships and disable the smuggler, then board it and have a prize crew repair the ship and jump to the Endor system.
In Endor the imperial fighters escorted the freighter to the Claw Station, which was under attack by rebel forces. Immediately the task force started breaking the blockade then protected the smuggler and the station until the freighter reached the Deep Space system.
In Deep Space the YT-1300 was escorted to the next jump point. The escorting ships had to fend off several increasingly fierce rebel attacks before the freighter made it to safety.
