Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Aak the toydarian slaver has been abducted last week and for a couple of days there was no further information about his fate, rumors even claiming he was dead already. That last rumor was proven wrong recently, but not for long.
From what is known Aak was held by a group of former slaves of his and their friends, who were planning to torture the slaver to death. One attempt at rescuing the slaver was thwarted early on, but others were on the way already, although how many of those had the toydarian's best interests in mind and how many either wanted his business or his life for themselves remains unclear.
Rumor claims that the next rescue attempt was successful since it happened when the captive slaver was being moved to Tatooine. During the ambush Aak supposedly managed to escape on his own while both the ambushers and his former captors fought.
While details are not known or sketchy, it's been confirmed that Aak moved to Corellia and began to both get revenge and rebuild his business, starting with reacquiring his former lethan slaves while his enemies and former partners hid - to no avail, as some found out who had sought refuge by rivals of Aak.
However not all of his enemies hid since ironically Aak was killed soon after recapturing his former slaves, according to one rumor even by them. Whether this was an expertedly planned assassination or just a mistake by his security, or even divine retribution for his alleged abuse of a kiva remains unclear, but Aak's death has been confirmed, the news even broadcast through his own comm to his contacts with the following words:
"I want all of you to know. Me Wyn...this puss bag's former slave, and Sylauria have killed him, your precious Aak is no more"
There are no known next of kin and it is expected that his former employees, partners, slaves and rivals all are currently moving to secure as many of his assets as they can. What became of his body is not known, though in the past many have voiced their wish to mount body parts as a trophy after Aak's death, so parts of him may show up one way or the other.
Aak has led a very dangerous life, dodging assassination attempts and attacks for years, operating under the authority of the trandoshan brotherhood, as were many of his competitors. He had a reputation for ruthless pursuit of profit, and cruel treatment of his slaves.
His business was backed by the imperial authorities, allowing him to publically attend and run slave auctions. Despite this he made many enemies, from rivals to those opposed to the practise of slavery - enemies he usually dealt quite brutally with, if his men managed to capture them. His long success led him to grow quite bold, kidnapping and enslaving people in public and broad daylight no matter the opposition or the occasion.
He was especially keen on recapturing escaped slaves, no surprise seeing his love for credits and his hatred for losing even a small amount of wealth. He was not always successful, though, as his employees were often involved in fights and even accused of murder, and his club becoming the target of attacks by anti-slaver activists and rival gangs. At least once, maybe more often, his own employees turned against him.
No matter the violence he managed to survive all attempts on his life, but his career was cut short for the first time when he was arrested for tax fraud, and imprisoned for over a year until he managed to escape.
He quickly started to rebuild his business, reopening his club, but also made so many new enemies in the process that he was hunted almost constantly and captured several times. Though the wily toydarian always managed to escape, slipping away from his enemies repeatedly, until finally his luck ran out.

Skirmishes in Deep Space
Date: 100711
Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Last night naval forces from the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifre the Republic skirmished in numbers again in Deep Space. Supported and led by gunboats on both sides dozens of fighters struggled for space superiority. While there was no victory for either side the imperial forces managed to hold their own after last week's defeat. Even if they came under pressure and were put on the defensive early on last night as well, they managed to push the Alliance forces back several times and repeatedly take control of the system for a brief time.
The following records have been released by the Sector HQ on Talus and show part of the battle:

Aak abducted
Date: 070711
Planet: Lok
Region: Red Sands
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Two days ago the infamous Aak, a toydarian slaver, entered Red Sands and was assaulted by a group of his now former slaves and other victims. The toydarian had made the mistake of not bringing any bodyguards, maybe trusting too much in his good fortune after he was recently rescued from Garubba the Hutt's palace by mercenaries from Red Sands.
As it happened others present in town joined in, and the toydarian was mercilessly beaten. The local security intervened, but without much success. The beating only stopped when the toydarian was dragged away by a twi'lek whose family he had threatened according to a rumor.
Aak has been missing since then, his fate remaining unknown so far. According to one report he has been enslaved by his former slaves, others claim he has been or will be tortured to death. Whether this was a retaliation for the kidnapping of a kiva earlier this week is not known, neither is the effect this will have on his slaving business.

Kiva kidnapped
Date: 060711
Planet: Rori
Region: Northwestern Rori
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Four mercenaries were reported to have attacked and kidnapped a kiva - a twi'lek priestess - and lethan twi'lek on Rori, shooting down a bodyguard in the process. The kiva was later found stranded on Yavin IV while the lethan's fate is unknown.
According to local rumors the kidnapping was ordered by the toydarian slaver Aak, to discourage the kiva from assisting escaped slaves by providing a safe house and transportation off-world, though it's not sure whether or not the kiva really did help runaways in her temple - which is located less than 3 km from the infamous Club Aak.

Mysterious pirate group "BWI" attacks cargo convoy
Date: 050711
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 another cargo convoy transporting ore for Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell System was formed, like every week. After the attack the week before by a pirate "Vigo" IMC hired two pilots, Traynu and Ramona, both flying Scyks, as escorts. The convoy itself was made up by veteran spacers - Captain Ryian Coron in his YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud", Captain Britney in her YT-2400 "Sugar Rush" and Captain Alila Tisoni in her YT-2400 "Corellia Star".
The convoy left the Tatooine system with some delay, but suffered no attack. Shortly after arriving in the Corellia system at the Talus Secta hyperspace jump point however the ships came under attack by half a dozen pirates. Sensor recordings from the different ships later showed two V-Wings, two Bellubab-22, one Dunelizard and one X-Wing, all attacking the freighters and escorts.
The lead ship of the convoy, the "Spinning Cloud", came quickly under attack by heavy fighters and took off with them in pursuit while the rest of the convoy had to deal with the remaining fighters, quickly shooting down one Bellubab-22 and one V-Wing. While the "Sugar Rush" and the "Corellia Star" suffered armor damage. The remaining V-Wing disabled Ramona's Scyk but the pirate was destroyed by the second Scyk by Traynu when it swung around to finish the escort off. The disabled fighter then received jury-rigged repairs by the crew of the "Sugar Rush" in time to help shoot down the last pirate, an X-Wing, who was purusing the "Spinning Cloud" as it returned to the convoy. All ships then continued the convoy and reached the Nova Orion Shipyards safely to deliver their cargo.
The pirate ships were all marked with "BWI" on their fuselage. CorSec has no knowledge of any group using that name and concluded that it was a previously unknown or new pirate group. So far there is no information about the group's size and capabilities, but travelers to and from the Corellia system are adviced to be on their guard and keep an eye out for any ship showing such markings.
IMC shares rose 1 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Last night the Imperial Sector Fleet suffered a serious defeat in Deep Space. A task force sent to deal with a rebel build-up was decimated decisively. While the Sector Fleet HQ did not comment on the battle inside sources claim that the cause of the defeat was not so much inferiour numbers, but inferiour tactics and communication within the task force.

Pirate attack on XTS freighter
Date: 010711
Planet: Dathomir System
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Last night a freighter in the employ of Xizor Transport System was lost in the Dathomir System. While details were not revealed the freighter was reported to have been lost with all hands aboard following an attack by an unidentified AEG-77 class gunboat, despite a strong escort being present. The fate of the escort ships is not known either at this point.
An XTS representative did neither comment on the destination of the lost freighter - whether it was headed to or from Dathomir or just pasing through - nor on the cargo of the freighter, but stressed the need to take further precautions against piracy.
Rumors speculate if this incident is related to the recent loss of another freighter on Dathomir, or the attack on the IMC convoy.
