Planet: Yavin IV
Region: Southwestern coast
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night prospectors in the southwestern jungles of Yavin IV reported hearing a lot of blaster fire at the southern shores. When authorities investigated they found the remains of a prolonged firefight, several unidentified corpses and scorch marks of a light freighter and a shuttle. Traffic records show a XTS ship in the area prior to the firefight.
Xizor Transport Systems announced when questioned that one of their ships was attacked by pirates on the planet, but did not reveal any details concerning the reasons for their ship's presence, citing "trade secrets".

FDWS employee killed by bomb
Date: 190511
Planet: Lok
Region: New Kestic
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Tragedy struck on Lok last night when a planetary transport reported a system failure in mid-flight and had to crash-land near New Kestic in south-eastern Lok. A rescue team from New Kestic made up from employees of the Future Droids and Weapons Systems was dispatched at once and quickly reached the crash site, securing it against looters and starting rescue operations despite the danger the still burning wreck posed to their own lives.
Jerint Shysa was at the forefront of the rescue efforts, looking for survivors first. While he was attempting to recover the transport's pilot the ship's fuel cells suddenly exploded. The remaining employees of FDWS watched helplessly as the ship's remains were wrecked even further. Their worst fears were realized when they managed to reach the transports bridge. Jerint was still conscious, but his wounds were too grave for him to survive transport to the local med center. He died in the arms of his sister, Lynn Shysa.
The transport's pilot was transferred to the med center in New Kestic, his current status is not known. According to the preliminary results of the investigation the transport was sabotaged. A virus took the flight controls offline when the transport entered New Kestic air space, causing the crash. The fuel cell explosion though was caused by a thermal detonator. Given that such devices were used in earlier attacks on the city the prime suspect is the mad bomber trying to extort money from the corporation.

New dojo opens on Dantooine
Date: 180511
Planet: Dantooine
Region: Northern Dantooine
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Martial Arts have been a part of the culture of the galaxy for thousands of years, be it as means to defend oneself, a sport, or a way of living. Teras Kasi is one of the most famous of the galaxy-wide practised martial arts, and often named as one of the most powerful styles, sometimes said to be on par with lightsaber fencing. This art was very wide spread just a few years ago, but as the war progressed its use has faltered some lately. Still it has many practioners, and even more fans. And for either we have good news!
Located in a quiet valley in northern Dantooine is the "Rising Rancor Dojo", where students can learn and practise teras kasi once the dojo opens its doors next week. Jakt'rar is leading the dojo, but he has several teachers.
As you can see on the pictures the dojo has a humble outside appearance, but is offering all the accomodations needed to study the art inside.

IMC Convoy reaches Nova Orion Station on schedule
Date: 180511
Planet: Tatooine/Corellia System/Ord Mantell System
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC)
After the computer troubles that neccessitated a rescheduling of the weekly convoys, the Intergalactic Mining Company sent two YT-2400 class frighters with ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell last night. Britney's pink "Sugar Rush" and See'la Tualin's "Kairn Tol" were escorted by Kentt' in his ARC-170.
The convoy encountered technical troubles on the way early on - the "Sugar Rush" suffered a hyperdrive failure and was delayed some - and the ships were jumped by a pirate raider almost at once after they entered the Corellia system. The raider managed to cripple the escorting fighter but was shot down by the "Kairn Tol". After helping Kentt' with repairs the convoy reached the Ord Mantell system safely.
IMC shares rose 2% at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

IMC convoy delayed - company claims computer trouble, not extortion
Date: 150511
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Intergalactic Mining Company announced today that the company would be returning to regular business schedules as soon as possible after their link to the galactic financial transacton system was restored today. Due to a needed scan of the system for possible troubles the weekly ore convoy from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell would be one day late though.
Manager Kimisei Bythmi said he did not expect any further troubles for the company. He stated the delay was not linked to the mad bomber still at large.

Arklem Qeq wanted again!
Date: 020511
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Bestine
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Arklem Qeq, infamous pirate captain, has had a price on his head several times in the recent past, but so far has always managed to "settle matters" one way or the other - only to start right on earning the next price.
Currently the walls of Bestine are plastered with wanted posters faturing his face. While the exact details are not known rumors claim that he has managed to steal a large sum of credits from the Galactic Empire it self - or at least someone of high rank within that Empire.

Alliance Fleet secures supply lines
Date: 010511
Planet: Naboo and Karthakk systems
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Yesterday the Imperial Sector fleet and naval units of the Alliance to Restore the Republic battled for control of critical hyperlane choke points vital to their supply lines in the Karthakk and Naboo systems. For almost two hours the battles in those systems went back and forth, causing casualties but no victor, until the Alliance fleet managed to gain a small but decisive advantage, partially aided by a mistake in the communication lines of the Imperial task force.
After the respective forces had withdrawn again the rebel units went on to defeat the imperial ships which had remained in Deep Space.
The following recordings were released by the Imperial Sector Fleet Command and show part of the battles that raged last night:
