Planet: Yavin IV/Talus
Region: Central Yavin IV/Central Talus
Story: Talus News Agency
*Incoming live news feed from the Talus Governors Office.*
*Marius Sanguine stands with the Talus Military, Domestic, and Economic advisors behind him. His face is solemn as he reads from a prepared statement*
Hello to you all, I am Marius Sanguine. It is my unfortunate duty to report to everyone that last night, the Governor of Talus, Lord Revenant Blade was killed.
He was lured into a trap striving to insure the defense of Talus by a cult of Dark Force users. And was reported deceased due to a structural collapse caused by an explosion inside a grouping of ruins on Yavin IV.
This Dark Side terrorist group has been identified as a cult calling themselves simply, "Dread". And it is uncertain their exact plans in all of this, but I am sure of one thing...
I have been appointed via, Lord Blade's will and testament to assume command over all he held. And with the Empires approval I am now the acting Governor of Talus as well. And I can promise all Talus Citizens, as well as the Galaxy at large one thing...
Lord Blade Will Be Avenged. I am calling to all bounty hunters, and all of our allies to ready yourselves to be mobilized. This Dark Side threat which has recently emerged must be hunted down, and destroyed.
This is not only an act against us, the Talus Government. But against the Empire, and all peaceful citizens of the Galaxy. And this will not go unpunished.
I will be meeting with several of our allies, and supporters over the coming week to discuss a strategy, and for now I ask for the support of everyone. This is a dark time that has befallen us, but a bright dawn comes. That I promise.
We would like to wish, Aymeh'lee Blade our sincerest condolences on the loss of her father, and Lady Ski'bo Dosni on the loss of her fiancee. This affects all of us here, as it is something I know none of us ever expected.
For now, this is Marius Sanguine, Acting Governor of Talus, and CEO of Shadow Blade Enterprises thanking everyone in advance for their support.
*The view fades as the cameras turn off.*

Pirates try to rob liquor transport!
Date: 061008
Planet: Tatooine/Karthakk System
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The weekly ore convoys from Tatooine to Ord Mantell are known to attract pirates, and are armed and escorted as a result of this. The publicity those attacks receive might have cuased other ships to assume a relative safety - despite pirates being known to go after such unlikely cargo as panties and cement. As the TTC-Shinging Nebula, a YT-2400, found out three days ago, booze is also sought by pirates - which is no surprise to those with knowledge of certain pirate bands...
The TTC-Shining Nebula had been chartered by the management of Jailbirds, Farpoint Valley, to deliver a cargo of various liquors and other drinks from Keren to Tatooine. With an ad-hoc crew and no escort, the ship obviously expected no danger even while travelling through the Karthakk system.
However, near Lok the freighter was attacked by two pirates, first by a KSE Firespray, and then by an older Y-Wing. Fortunately, the crew had no sampled the cargo, and was on the ball, shooting down both attackers without taking more than some armor damage, and the ship made it to Tatooine without further troubles.
The customers of Jailbirds can rest assured that the club's bar remains well-stocked.

IMC Convoy reaches Nova Orion Station without losses
Date: 061008
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 Naboo system remains a hotbed of piracy attacks, but their intensitiy is lessening greatly. A week ago, the regular IMC convoy encountered just a lone pirate raider in an outdated ship that tried to attack the ore freighters.
The convoy, led by captain Ryian Corons X-4 "Defiance" and composed of captain Aenius Bosk's vigo-class "Vengeance" as well as captain Qel-Gin's YT-1300 "Pure Pazaak", had no difficulties dispatching the pirate. The lead ship even ran the pirate down when he tried to flee with engine damage, and brought it to explosive justice near the Naboo station:
The convoy encountered minimal troubles in the Ord Mantell system, and delivered the ore shippment on time and without losses to the Nova Orion Station.
IMC shares rose 2% at the Coronet Stock Exchange.

Mysterious Incidents on Talus
Date: 061008
Planet: Talus
Region: Central Talus
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Talus, usually a quiet planet, has been getting more attention lately, namely with the recent change in government - a transition that happened without troubles, as far as it is known - or the upcoming tournament in Dearic.
Recently however, more sinister things are rumored to have taken place on Talus. There are reports of mysterious attacks on several cities under direct control of Lord Blade. So far nothing more is known about those raiders, but some sources claim they call themselves "sith".
In other news, unrelated as far as we know, the entire computer network of Talus' government was said to have suffered blackouts and malfunctions, leading to violent attacks by droids in half a dozen cities: Shadow Blade Central, Vvardenfell, Talus Government Office, Shadow Blade Retreat, And Ravenwind and Fort Shadows Wake all were reported to have suffered from droid violence breaking out. If this was the result of a computer virus, sabotage, or both is not yet known. Some travellers claimed that they encountered similar droid attacks on Mustafar.
The Talus Government stated that the situation was under control and that there was no cause for alarm.

Attack on Merchant in Farpoint Valley
Date: 300908
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Farpoint Valley saw another firefight last night when the home of local businessman Ikoogy Retoodi was attacked by several thugs. The merchant's droid guards were quickly dispatched, and just the quick intervention of a group of people which had been visiting the club "Jailbirds" in town and had noticed the attack saved the rodian from getting robbed - or worse.
Here's footage from the attack, saved from a droid which was destroyed during the fight:
Neither Ikoogy nor his pet kusak were hurt during the attack, but the property damage was not neglible, and all attackers were shot during the battle.
It is not yet sure if this attack has any connection to another attack over a week ago, but the authorities are looking into this possibility. Mayor Clarissa Wrenchturner was overheard pondering the placement of a substantial bounty on the suspected backers of those attacks, if there is a connection.

Five ships shot down in the act of piracy
Date: 290908
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Pirate attacks are on the rise again in the Naboo system, despite strong measures taken by authorities. One week ago the weekly IMC Convoy transporting ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Ord Mantell, was attacked by five pirate raiders - according to eye witnesses two KSE Firesprays, one older Bellubab-22, an even older ARC-170 recon ship and a N-1 Starfighter, most likely a deserter from the RSF.
The convoy, however, was ready for them. The three freighters - Captain Ryian Coron's "Defiance", a X4-class class vessel, a well as the two AEG-77 "Vigo" class ships "Vengeance", piloted by veteran captain Aenius Bosk, and Captain Drake's "Crimson Eclipse", were escorted by Captan Amillo in his Vaksai heavy fighter and a TIE Oppressor on detched duty from the Imperial Sector Fleet, together with a Kimogila fighter.
When the pirates attacked the convoy, the escorts engaged and broke up their formation, allowing the freighters to remain undamaged in the following fight while all pirate ships were destroyed or disabled.
The following footage was released by the Imperial Sector Fleet:
IMC stock rose 5% following the delivery.
