Aggressive Recon Line Makes Contact With the Insurgent Enemy

VOHAI SYSTEM - Pursuant to the Savareen Admiralty's direction, the Imperial Navy bloodied the nose of the Rebellion in the Vohai and Elshandruu Pica systems today. However, a particularly wanted corvette remained at large and will be the object of a continued hunt.

Striking out from the Bajic system, the location of a rebel incursion last week, the Imperial Navy struck an unsuspecting rebel formation in the Vohai system. The Vohai system, being the next rimward system along the Five Veils Route, was suspected of being a rebel mustering point.

As suspected, a rebel formation was detected and challenged near an asteroid field. Acting swiftly, the Imperial recon line scattered the rebel units and destroyed all escorting fighter squadrons, with the rebel vessels escaping along the hyperroute in a rimward direction.

The recon line, consisting of the Insidious and Demolisher, both Gladiator-class star destroyers, pursued the rebel vessels - an infamous CR-90 corvette and an escort frigate to the neighboring Elshandruu Pica system in the Quence sector. There the escort frigate was destroyed, at the tragic loss of one of the star destroyers. The Corvette, however remained at large.

The corvette in question was identified by the uncouth title Slippery Steve, a vessel which had earlier vexed the Imperial Navy in the Bajic system.

The recon line's mission was pursuant to the more aggressive naval posture as mandated by the Savereen admiralty yesterday. The admiralty had decided to respond vigorously to rebel naval elements testing the Imperial blockade of the Arkanis sector with repeated attempts to move contraband in and out of that benighted sector.
