According to usually well-informed sources in the captial of Corellia a CorSec-operated Corellian Corvette operating as a prisoner transport was boarded last night and the prisoners freed. Supposedly the boarders had help on the inside since several attackers wore CorSec uniforms, but whether those were simple disguises or members of the so-called "rogue CorSec" group remains unclear.
While the identity of the prisoners was not revealed, not even anonymously, according to one rumor the prisoners were not as much freed as kidnapped and there were shootings between the boarders themselves, hinting at either dissension within the ranks or different factions being involved.
A spokesman for CorSec stated today when asked about those rumors that all capital ships operated by CorSec were fully operational and none was currently suffering any troubles of technical or other nature. He did not answer questions whether that was the case yesterday as well.

Aak caught!
Date: 260511
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Various
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
According to the latest reports Aak the Toydarian, on the run since over a month, was finally caught in the town of Hades Inferno last night by four bounty hunters after a hunt all over Tatooine. From what is known the toydarian was hiding in a closet in the basement of a shop and was dragged out without physical resistance after he was found.
Prior to his capture he had been allegedly involved in a theft in the Dock in West Carova, a barfight in Mos Eisley, and a confrontation in Farpoint Valley, using various aliases and disguises in each case to escape pursuit.
He was last reported to be shipped to Rori, but his current whereabouts as well as his final fate are unknown.

Bomber dies by own bomb
Date: 250511
Planet: Lok
Region: New Kestic
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Yesterday security forces from New Kestic, the Headquarters of the Future Droids and Weapons System, and mercenaries in their employ managed to corner the wanted bomber responsible for several attacks on ships and shipping. The bomber had been trying to extort money from the corporation after killing an employee of FDWS last week.
From what is known at this point a droid was sent to receive the money. FDWS forces instead shot the droid with an ion gun and then dismantled its core, retrieving the coordinates the droid was programmed to drop the money off - a remote location in the north, almost ten kilometers away from New Kestic. The security forces and mercenaries under command of Amandiona Masnachwr moved swiftly at this point.
A scouting force was sent ahead and revealed the presence of a dozen armed and armored men at the coordinates given. Their camp was then hit with the full force, and the Apparent leader of this group taken prisoner as he was trying to flee in a shuttle.
Bli'Kote, an investigator sent by a insurance firm from the Galactic Core who had been hunting the bomber for years according to his claims and had been investigating the recent affair for weeks, had been forced to remain in New Kestic after the bomber's droid had hit him with a stun gun that triggered a heart attack. While the security forces were hitting the armed camp however he revealed himself to be the until then still unidentified bomber, taking one of the employees of FDWS left behind in New Kestic to treat him as a hostage and forced her to give him access to their main computer databanks - apparently with the intent to steal their research data.
The hostage - Amandiona's sister Lazana - managed to trigger a silent alarm and stall the downloading process long though, and the criminal found himself cornered by the returned security forces. When he was threatening to blow himself and his hostage up with a thermal detonator he was jumped. Staggering back he allegedly lost his grip on the detonator, which went off seconds later, vaporizing himself and the main data banks of the corporation.
While the hostage was safe, having had time to reach cover and/or shielding in the scuffle at least one member of the security force or mercenaries was seriously wounded in the blast and is now in intensive care in New Kestic's med center.
CEO Masnachwr was quoted stating that the databanks had backups and no long-term harm to the corporation's future is expected. No comment was given yet on who is claiming the substantial bounty TTC placed on the bomber earlier.

Defiant Glory reaches Ord Mantell safely
Date: 240511
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)
Yesterday the Intergalactic Mining Company hired the "Defiant Glory", piloted by Captain Arzesaeth Ernebee, to transport non-ferrous ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Shipyards in the Ord Mantell System. The ship, an Incom built medium freighter, was escorted by the "Lekku Lass", an ARC-170 piloted by Nellari Hoefi, and left Tatooine's orbit after a slight delay brought on by stricter security measures due to a persisting bomb threat.
The following voyage suffered no further trouble until an ARC-170 attacked the freighter in the Corellia system, near iron asteroids. The ship's gunners kept the attacker at bay for over 5 minutes until it finally was shot down and the ship continued its journey to Ord Mantell.
IMC shares rose 1% at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Freighter missing over Lok
Date: 240511
Planet: Karthakk System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Tatooine Trading Corporation announced that they lost the TTC-Javasen, a YT-2400, in the Karthakk System. The ship suffered a catastrophical system malfunction which caused the loss of steering, life support and reactor containment, causing the crew to use the escape pod to avoid being killed. According to the crew, which was recovered, they did not see any explosion while flying away, and no debris has been found so far. If anyone is coming across the YT-2400 approach it with the utmost caution.
TTC denied claims that overloading the engine caused the incident, stating that the ship had been running with overloads without problems since it was put into service. No pirates were reported in the vicinity of the ship either.

Combat in Deep Space picking up
Date: 230511
Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
After weeks of relative quiet (if not peace) the Galactic Civil War is heating up again. Squadrons from both sides clashed in Deep Space two days ago, battling for hours for space superiority. According to preliminary reports the forces of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, led by at least two gunboats, had the upper hand during most of the battle, despite stiff imperial resistance.
The struggle for control of Deep Space is expected to heat up in the near future, according to several strategy experts who predict a renewed offensive in the local sector.
