Planet: Corellia System/Talus
Region: Fort Keen
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Corellian System has seen an increased imperial presence in the last few days, which has caused the rebel presence in system to diminish greatly. This was possible thanks to both the RID troops stationed in Fort Keen, Talus, as well as the DFA squadron concentrating their forces in the system and coordinating with Onyx and Obsidian Dagger Squadron as well as AI in order to keep a constant force in the system - and constant pressure on rebel intruders.
With roaming interceptor patrols and bomber as well as patrol- and gunboats strike units conducting search & destroy missions around the clock, rebel losses have been increasing, and the Empire has remained in control of the system for days by now.
Strategy experts expect a rebel counter-offensive in the near future but are disagreeing on its focus. Whether this offensive will target Corellia directly or if the rebel forces will strike at another system which may be less defended is at this point not known.

Rebels steal nerve gas?
Date: 300310
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Oasis
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
According to an anonymous source, supposedly an imperial officer or employee, twenty canisters of a type of toxic nerve gas, enough to wipe out a city, recently went missing from the Oasis shuttle base on Tatooine. Authorities are said to be doing all they can to find it, and setting up preventive measures in key cities to ward off against such attacks.
According to the source a small team using a sand-and-silver camo USV-5 speeder, a type often used by special forces teams on both sides of the Galactic Civil War for its ability to cross different terrains, and its quiet nature, drove into the oasis, killing any witnesses and guards present and breaking into multiple storage areas to find the toxin.
The circumstances of the operation hint at it being the result of leaked inside information or outright treason, but there are no suspect names being floated currently. However an internal investigation is underway. Officials refused to comment about the supposed theft, but stated that the use of such despiccable weapons was typical for terrorists in the employ of the Rebel Alliance.

Treachery and Thunder strike cargo convoy
Date: 300310
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Naboo system was one focus point of the recent interdictor operation of the Imperial Navy. Some analysts expected that local pirates would also be affected by the operation, and the general security of the system would improve. Last night's events proved them wrong.
The Intergalactic Mining Corporation sent one YT-1300 freighter, Captain Sive'a Allande's YT-1300 "Light Ray", with a cargo of carbonate ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine to Nova Orion Station, Ord Mantell. As escorts served Traynu, Ramona and Falcun Nix, in two scyks and one interceptor.
Even before the convoy left the Tatooine system they came under attack by an ARC-170 and a scyk. The "Light ray" jumped out while the escorts engaged the raiders, shooting down the ARC-170 and driving the scyk away. One scyk suffered disabling damage, but jury-rigged repairs from Falcun Nix allowed it to reach the Naboo system, where further repairs followed at the Rori Orbital Station.
At that point though treachery struck - Traynu, obviously a pirate plant, switched sides and attacked the remaining two escort in concert with the returned scyk. After a furious fight both escorts were left floating in space, disabled, while the "Light Ray" suffered extensive damage to hull and systems, with the cargo being destroyed.
The pirates then revealed themselves as the infamous Thunder Pirates and left a warning message - threatening to destroy the next transports as well, unless they were paid off. IMC management hasn't yet revealed how the company will react to this demand.
Falcun Nix, who had gone drifting in space following the fight with his disabled interceptor and had lost his distress beacon, was recovered later by Captain Nee'ki Starr in her "Aegis of Farpoint" vigo-class medium freighter after a short search - just in time before his air ran out.
IMC shares fell 5 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.

Rebel couriers interdicted and intercepted
Date: 280310
Planet: Deep Space
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the Imperial Navy cinducted an interdiction and interception operation - a seek and destroy operation using interdictor vessels in several systems. Formed around the Corellian Sector Fleet, and augmented with units from the Bright Jewel Sector Fleet, notably the famous Onyx Squadron and the Eviscerator, sent to close down smaller systems and out of the way hyperspace points with smaller vessels while the interdictor cruisers controlled the hyperlanes. Ship crews were augmented by ground soldiers where needed,
The smaller interdictor vessels - YE-4s and Decimators - soon came under attack by strong rebel forces, trying to disable or destroy them - likely to allow some valuable cargo or courier to pass through. Escorts and gunners of the vessels engaged them, and while a few vessels were destroyed over the course of more than an hour, the price the rebel forces paid for it was high.
At the same time imperial fighter groups were searching the interdicted systems, seeking and destroying rebel ships of all types. Several suspect ships were encountered, and chased down and destroyed if they did not submit to inspection.
While the sector fleet command did not comment on what exactly was the reason for the interdiction operation, they expressed their pleasure with the way it went, indicating that whatever they wanted they caught.
The following footage was released by the Imperial sector command in Fort Keen, Talus, and shows some combats that took place during the operation:

Rodian Clan Meet in Zaken Hub Pool
Date: 230310
Planet: Talus
Region: Zaken Hub
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Two days ago the town of Zaken Hub - specifically, the Zaken Hub Pool - saw a rodian clan meet. Jeevix, Celox Scorpio, Teesik, Nozumi, Andrula, Isskipuss, and Xalcla gathered in casual - at times very casual - atmosphere to discuss closer relations between the various rodians living in the sector. By all accounts it was a very succesful and enjoyable meeting, especially for members of the rodian disapora.
Only one incident marred the event - apparently Celox Scorpio had a small accident and had to be saved by mouth-to-mouth. An anonymous report claims this was faked thogh, in order to get closer to a rodian girl. As cunning as ever, if this is true!

"Light Ray" and "Phoenix" make the trip despite pirates
Date: 230310
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Yesterday the Intergalactic Mining Corporation sent two more freighters for their weekly ore convoy from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine to Nova Orion Station, Ord Mantell. By coincidence both were YT-1300 class ships, and both were piloted by twi'lek women - Captain Sive'a Allande's YT-1300 "Light Ray" and Captain Dee'lin Sorla's "Phoenix". The two freighetrs were escorted by a TIE-Bomber during their trip, in anticipation of pirate attacks.
Shortly after reaching the Naboo system the expected attacks did happen when a Vaksai heavy fighter followed by an ARC-170 recon craft attacked the freighters. Both raiders were shot down quickly though by the ships' gunners - Batair Highlander, Kort, Ramona and Aesic - and the escort, after causing armor damage.
After the fight all three ships safely reached the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell, where the TIE Bomber departed for areas unknown and the convoy underwent needed repairs and repainting.

Funeral of Major Arev Basten held in Fort Keen
Date: 210310
Planet: Talus
Region: Fort Keen
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the funeral for Major Arev Basten, whose death triggered the bombing of Tasceryn on Dantooine a week ago, was held in Fort Keen, an Imperial Security Bureau Re-education facility on Talus.
Due to the controversional reputation the officer had the funeral was protected by strict and massive security measures - an impressive sight even by Imperial standards. Both the attending officers, stormtroopers and pilots as well as the civilian guests therefore were safe during the event.
A Lieutenant COmmander Drayko Vykes, held the elogy before the Major's replacement, Colonel Amodeus DuCar, took command of the base, relieving acting commander Lieutenant Jerax Teral. In his speech Colonel DuCar expressed his determination and conviction that the Rebellion would soon be squashed and peace and order returned to the galaxy, and called upon everyone to remember and follow Major Basten's example in service to the Emperor. He also announced that he would lead the investigation against the "war criminals Rieme Kerav, Korris Sprint, and Anishor" in person.
Afterwards the funeral concluded in the local cantina, named in honor of Major Basten's Corellian homeworld.
