The massive ground battles between forces of the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic which were reported earlier do not seem to be quieting. Two days ago large numbers of soldiers clashed again in pitched battles on both planets. Apart from numerous casulaties on both sides each faction also lost a high-ranking leader that day, fueling speculation about "headhunting" going on.

IMC Convoy ambushed and robbed by "Black Kuzaks"
Date: 060211
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last week the Intergalactic Mining Corporation's weekly convoy was ambushed right after starting out from the Tatooine oribtal station. The two freighter carrying ore from Farpoint Valleey, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell, Athmis Thewix' YT-1300 "CORT Starflare" and the "Highland Luck" of Batair Highlander, another YT-1300, were escorted by two fighters, piloted by Barrenger Fynar and Ahl-Vinn, but this did not deter the pirates.
The convoy was attacked before reaching their planned hyperspace point and all ships were disabled in short order. While no lives were lost the freighters were forced to dump their cargo before help reached them. The pirates identivied themselves as the "Black Kuzaks", a until then unknwn gang, possibly of Lokian origin.
IMC's stock fell 2% at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Rebel listening post destroyed in Deep Space
Date: 060211
Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Yesterday the Sector fleet of the Galactic Empire attacked a rebel listening post in Deep Space that had been feeding intel about troop movements to rebel strike units. The attack was spearheaded by 4 gunboats and supported by fighter and bomber escorts, launching from the "ISS Vanguard", an Imperial Star Destroyer stationed in Deep Space.
The strike force ran into larger rebel forces than expected and was forced to divert some of its ships to blunt a rebel counter-attack aimed at the ISS Vanguard. Pitched battles both at the rebel listening post as well as around the Star Destroyer followed. Despite strong rebel attacks the Imperial task force carried the day, destroying the rebel base while only suffering light damage to the ISS Vanguard.
The following video was released by the local sector fleet command and shows part of the battles from last night:

Tusken attack on second archeological field trip
Date: 060211
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Espa
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two weeks after an archeological field trip to Tatooine was attacked by tusken when investigating clues in the Mos Espa area, another field trip from the University of Theed under the guidance of Britney' was attacked again by what observers describe as a horde of tusken.
Since after the earlier trip's trouble security precautions had been taken for this trip the group managed to fight off the tusken and kill their leader. When questioned what could be the cause for the tusken agression a spokesperson of the University of Theed stated that the archeological expedition was not even aimed at tusken affairs but was searching a lost ship of historical importance.
As was explained the second field trip did manage to gather further clues, including a booster that may have been used in the lost ship.

Pirate base and flagship destroyed in Ord Mantell!
Date: 030211
Planet: Ord Mantell
Region: Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the Nova Orion Shipyards hired a mixed force of mercenaries to strike at the pirates preying on the shipping in the system. Led by Wint Risden in his YT-1300 "Exodus" the small force struck first at the pirate base that was rendered unoperational in an attack two weeks ago but whose automated emergency distress signal has been used as a bait by pirates since then to lure unsuspecting ships into ambushes. Despite a very large pirate presence the mercenaries managed to destroy the station, with the "Exodus" luring the majority of the pirates away by serving as bait, which opened the station up for a decisive strike.
As soon as the pirate base blew up the mercenaries moved on to attack and destroy a Warlord-class cruiser, considered to be a flagship of the pirates. The ship was found and destroyed within minutes.
The loss of both the station and the cruiser is expected to drive down the number of pirate attacks significantly, but ships entering the Ord Mantell system are still cautioned to be on their guard and have their weapons ready.

Freighter forced to emergency landing south of Mos Taike
Date: 010211
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Taike
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Four days ago a YT-1300 freighter was forced into an emergency landing south of Mos Taike. Soon after landing the ship came under attack by aggressive scavengers intent on "salvaging" the hull and the crew had to resort to blaster fire to keep them at bay and ultimately drive them off.
Contrary to first rumors neither jawas nor tusken were involved in the fight. It is not known what emergency the ship suffered, nor what its cargo was, but rumors claim it was a pirate attack or smuggling run gone wrong.

Imperial Navy strikes at key Alliance ships
Date: 300111
Planet: Corellia System and Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the Sector fleet of the Galactic Empire launched another offensive against the rebel naval forces. Starting in the Corellia System and continuing into Deep Space, an Imperial task force hunted key rebel ships, both squadron leaders and capital command ships.
The task force suffered a setback right at the start, when one of their own command ships was lost to a rebel counter attack in the midst of wide-spread ion storms that sent ships and fighters of both sides crashing by the dozens.
But the pilots and crew of the Imperial Fleet rallied, fixed the system issues and struck out at the Alliance forces in Deep Space, destroying two command ships and one squadron commander in short order without losing any more key ships of their own.
The following video was released by the local sector fleet command and shows part of the battles from last night:
