Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Three days ago, a firefight between the Shuttleport and Jailbirds shook up the peaceful town of Farpoint Valley. Information is sketchy, from what was gathered from citizens, the shuttleport had been under observation by a number of armed residents and visitors, probably expecting an attack for some time when two armed and armored men arrived and were confronted.
After an exchange of words for several minutes, the two opened fire on the people present and a short but intense blasterfight followed. The two attackers were taken down quickly by about ten "concerned citizens", and then medically treated before being sent away.
Half an hour later, a corpse was found at the place of the firefight. The man, identified as "Ehaefi", was shot dead after suffering previous wounds. According to some reports he had been attacked in Mos Eisley earlier.
While the authorities did not comment on the case - although the body was, for sanitary reasons, cremated - the imperial garrison in Mos Eisley announced that the man had been in the process of getting transferred into their custoy by a deptutised trandoshan citizen on imperial orders by General Bosk when the suspect was shot trying to escape.

Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Ten days ago, the seventh Karaoke Night was held in the Grindhouse Bar in Farpoint Valley. As is now the custom not just the winner received a prize, but also a random contestant.
After the introduction song by Ramona "Oh Baby" Newcomer Bwab started the competition with "ain't gonna work on Owen's farm no more", followed by Jeric with the sort-of-rap "Your kisses are like cookies". Neutron Pixie Mae'Lyn then sang "Fire Eyes", followed by Shakir with "One season more". The town's sheriff, returned from a trip to the core, K'yna Mont'yr, then stepped on stage with "Girls just wanna have lunch" to conclude the performances.

Miners Save TIE Pilot!
Date: 170908
Planet: Dantooine
Region: Dantooine Plains
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
A group of local miners and an Imperial regulations officer rescued an Imperial pilot who crashed on the Dantooine plains. The miners, along with the officer, were out prospecting for new claims when they came across the crashed remains of an Imperial TIE starfighter. The miners found the unconscious pilot a short distance from the craft and were able to transport her back to the Imperial Outpost without further injury.
An Imperial sergeant was quoted as saying "The young pilot was out on a routine training exercise with a TIE craft. She lost control and was forced to eject before the craft crashed. Doctors expect her to make a full recovery. We are conducting an investigation to find the cause of the crash." The sergeant declined to comment on rumors of rebel attacks in the Dantooine system.
If the miners had not found the pilot when they did she may have succumbed to her injuries or the wildlife on the plains. Several settlers and more numerous visitors are hurt or even killed by Dantooine's fauna each year, and the native tribes are known for their hostility towards other species - some of the hatred the result of ruthless mercenaries hunting down the natives for their blood, which was a prized component in the production of stims a few years ago, until medical advances made it obsolete.

Massive convoy battle in Naboo
Date: 160908
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
After a few weeks of few piracy incidents, today's IMC convoy - led by Captain Ryain Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud", with the two vigo-class freighters "Vengeance" of Captain Aenius Bosk and "Crimson Eclipse" of Captain Drake, escorted by the Decimator-class patrol boat "Ruby" commanded by Pilot officer Ek'ieth - encountered a large pirate force. The four ships were attacked by two Vaksais, one ARC-170 and a Krayt Gunship during their stop-over in the Naboo system on the way from Tatooine to Ord Mantell. The pirates concentrated their fire on the "Vengeance", but the convoy closed ranks, all ships using blaster turrets and missiles to defend the freighter under attack. In the following fight, all four pirates were defeated or destroyed, among them most likely the ARC-120 that has attacked so stubbornly during the last two convoys. The "Vengeance" took armor damage but remained operational, and the entire convoy reached the Nova Orion Station with the cargo intact.
Here's footage from the battle:
IMC regional manager Kimisei Bythmi expressed the hope that the Imperial Navy would continue to increase their anti-piracy operations.
IMC shares rose 5% at the Coronet stock exchange.

"Vengeance" gets through again
Date: 160908
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Captain Aenius Bosk's Vigo-class freighter "Vengeance" is earning quite the reputation in the sector. A week ago, it made another solo run through pirate territory carrying steel from Tatooine to Ord Mantell. Despite not having a full crew, the freighter fought off another lengthy pirate attack in the Naboo and Ord Mantell system, made by an older recon ship.
The following footage was recovered by authorities investigating the incident. It is unclear of the people the recording was taken from are in custody of the RSF or not - the spokesman of the RSF cited security reasons for withholding this information.
IMC stock rose 2% at the Coronet stock exchange. Despite this, a representative of the company complained about lack of patrols to combat the growing pirate threat.

Tenacious pirate pursues freighter
Date: 090908
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Galactic Civil war is making life harder for everyone as more and more money is spent on the war. Those who do not have anything are often driven to desperate measures by it. At least this might be the reason for what happened during the last IMC cargo convoy a week ago.
Captain Aenius Bosk's Vigo-class freighter "Vengeance" had been in Naboo for some time, recharging its hyperdrive on the way to Ord Mantell, when it was jumped near Rori space station by a lone ARC-170. The pirate kept attacking the freighter, despite serious damage taken by the freighter's turrets, and even followed the ship to Ord mantell, trying to prevent the freighter from docking to the Nova Orion Station, finally relenting when the "Vengeance" reached the hangar.
Other sources claim the attacker was on spice, or suffering from some mental instability. No matter its reasons, the pirate did not manage to stop the cargo from getting delivered. IMC's stock rose 2% following those news.
The following footage was recovered from an astro droid that was blown off the pirate in Ord Mantell:

Deserters going pirate?
Date: 260808
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
With the galactic civil war dragging on for years, morale is becoming a problem for both sides and both forces are losing men to desertion. In the case of pilots, they often seem to take their ships with them - from starfighter to corvettes.
In a galaxy torn apart by war, what will those deserters do? Some may change sides, and re-enter the war. Others however will most likely fend for themselves any way they can - and in the case of soldiers, this is usually a violent way. And among those kind of deserters, old hostility often is dropped together with the old rank.
This might explain the odd case of an A-Wing and a TIE Bomber attacking the last IMC Convoy one week ago in the Naboo system. The IMC Convoy consisting of Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud" and Captain Aenius Bosk's Vigo-class freighter "Vengeance" had already met with problems when engine troubles on the "Vengeance" had delayed it. Then a scouting escort had been engaged upon entering the system at Penumbra Omen, and had been disabled after taking out the TIE Bomber. And when the Convoy arrived in the Naboo system at Kylanthia's whim, the A-Wing attacked them damaging the "Vengeance" before it was taken out.
The following footage was taken from a civilian craft which witnessed this attack:
After conducting emergency repairs the convoy continued to Ord Mantell, arriving safely and with the cargo intact.
