Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
An exploring prospector scouting for new veins of valuable ore found the remains of a massacre in northern Dathomir yesterday when he stumbled on a cave that was once inhabotated by natives to the planet but now was filled with the decaying remains of more than a dozen people. Judging by the state of decay the massacre happened about a week ago, but since scavengers and predators already fed on the remins it is hard to accurately devise the time of death. At least a few of the dead were killed with a bladed melee weapon though, which makes it likely that the atrocity was committed by another tribe of the planet.

IMC Convoy struck by technical troubles and pirates
Date: 290811
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.)
A week ago the Intergalactic Mining COmpany sent another Convoy transporting ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Ord Mantell's Nova Orion Station. The convoy was made up of four ships originally - Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud", Captain Benjam's Decimator-class "Lucky Silver", Captain Britney's YT-2400 "Sugar Rush" and Catpain Dee'lin Sarlo's YT-1300 "Phoenix". The "Phoenix" suffered from persistent engine troubles however and had to drop out before the convoy left Tatooine's orbit.
The three remaining ships were attacked in the Corellia system by a "Scurrg" fighter/bomber and an ARC-170 long range recon ship, but both ships were shot down by the freighters' turrets before doing much damage. The cargo was safely delivered to Ord Mantell.
IMC shares rose 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Incident in Coronet Medical Center

Planet: Corellia
Region: Coronet
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
A few days ago a doctor was threatened by an apparently crazy droid or cyborg in the Coronet Medical Center. While details are scarce according to rumors the sentient tried to violently force the doctor to "give him a new body", and jumped out of the window when security arrived, evding both security forces as well as CorSec officers.
The still unidentified creature is to be considered mentally unstable, violent, and dangerous, armed with a large lance or axe and possible blasters according to the reports by eye witnesses.

Capital ships deployed in several systems
Date: 220811
Planet: Local Sector
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Since a few days reports of both the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic deploying capital ships in several systems are turning up, mostly of the "Lancer" and "Nebulon-B" classes. From what has been gathered the Tatooine, Corellia, Naboo, Karthakk and Dantooine systems have seen frequent battles between task forces led by those frigates and supported by starfighters, gunboats and even armed freighters and patrol boats of all types.
Civilians in those systems are warned to stay on the patrolled lanes and avoid the battles lest they risk geetting destroyed by stray shots or mistaken attacks.

New starfighters fielded in the Galactic Civil War
Date: 220811
Planet: Local Sector
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
According to the latest news both the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic have deployed new types of starfighters. Reports of a new TIE-Fighter, named "TIE Defender" have been confirmed, several ships of the type having been observed in various battles accross the sector.
While detailed information is still scarce the TIE Defender is said to have three hard points for blaster cannons and strong shielding and armor as well as a basic misisle rack, and its performance in battle is reported to be very similar to the Advanced X-Wing fighter fielded by the Alliance for years.
The Alliance fleet has been reinforced by the addition of the "T-Wing", continuing their naming tradition. According the what information is available it's an advanced interceptor that has similar capabilities to the latest model of the TIE Interceptor, the so-called "Royal Guard" variant.
It remains to be seen how well both models will be integrated in their respective fleets, and if tactics change as a result.
On the civilian market more and more "Scurrg" Starfighters are appearing, along with advanced versions of the Rjikxyrk and the Ixiyen fighters, both of which have had their profile reduced to increase their survivability in battle, and different versions of the Vaksai Heavy Fighter.

Pirate activity lessened
Date: 220811
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 a period of heavy pirate attacks that crippled two convoys, pirate activity lessened somewhat, as recent surveys show. A week ago the IMC Convoy on the way from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Ord Mantell's Nova Orion Station encountered a lone pirate in an ARC-170 long range fighter in the Corellia system.
The convoy, Captain Benjam's "Lucky Silver" and Captain Britney's "Sugar Rush", engaged the pirate. Both escorts - Barrenger Fynar and Stlian Nix - were heavily damaged in the fight and required repairs, but the pirate was shot down. The cargo was safely delivered to Ord Mantell.

Precinct in New Kestic closed after criminal conspiracy was discovered
Date: 150811
Planet: Lok
Region: New Kestic
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
As expected earlier this year, last month an imperial precinct was opened in New Kestic, staffed with two officers. Patrols and inspections started though their deployment orders were still being confirmed by FDWS Head of Security Gavriel Deron - a lengthy process due to bureaucratic obstacles.
Soon though the behaviour of the officer in charge got out of bounds. He tried to extort money and valuables from the Future Droids and Weapons corporation, once even threatening the CEO, Amandiona Masnachwr, with a weapon in her own office, then having his underling hurt her.
More threats followed, as well as arrests and even torture of employes of the corporation, leaving several wounded until the security forces of the town were forced to take action against those attacks. The two officers were apprehended after a short struggle. It was just then when it finally was discovered that they had been using forged documentation and had replaced the actualy imperial officer who had been ordered to take over the precinct. His own fate has not been discovered so far but given the ruhtless actions of the two impostors one must fear the worst.
According to the latest reports the two culprits were taken into custody of the Galactic Empire pending further investigations and the precinct remains closed.
