Empire Defeats Mass Rebel Fleet Assault


(No Imperial vessels were harmed in the creation of this image. Rebels were fair game, though.)

BAJIC SYSTEM - After a week of thwarted attempts to break through the Five Veils Route and Llanic Spice Run, the Rebels attempted to run the Savareen Blockade once again today.

As before, their efforts concentrated on attempts to traverse the minefields in the Bajic System, though elements of the Imperial Navy also caught the insurgents out away from the minefield, where they swiftly retreated once challenged by the notorious Imperial commodore only known as 'The Barabel'

Last week, this 'Barabel' was rumored to be of either that species or a Trandosian, but the allegations were swiftly put to rest, as no alien could demonstrate such mastery of naval command.

The Empire did suffer a temporary setback at Ryndellia, as it attempted to retake the space station lost in yesterday's surprise attack. The rebel commander in this effort has been identified as one Admiral Theia, someone who has proven troublesome to the Empire before. Despite her victories on behalf of the rebellion, rumors suggest that she won the command at Ryndellia following an internecine skirmish against a newer rebel commander. Like most insurgencies, the rebellion seems to have internal problems that are solved with violence, or this may be conflict between opposing rebel warlords.

The Internal Security Bureau (ISB) has placed a price on this enemy of galactic civilization, and anyone delivering Admiral Theia into the hands of will be richly rewarded. One enterprising Imperial commander, Commodore Green, attempted to capture this menace to civilization, but her vessel fled to hyperspace before she could be apprehended. This villain remains at large, but the Admiralty expects Ryndellia station to soon be back in Imperial hands.

Earlier in the day, Commodore Green encountered the same rebel vanguard force that yesterday captured Ryndellia Station. This rebel force was driven off by Commodore Green and then further attacked by 'The Barabel', but the commander of that vanguard has yet to be identified and also remains at large.

At the end of the day, "The Barabel", commanding the Victory-class star destroyer Dominator, showed his ferocity against the VSD Despot, which was drawing away from Ryndellia. While this was a mere training exercise, it shows the tenor of naval warfare on the Outer Rim, where such colorful character as this naval commander with his reptilian monicker can gain renown. Perhaps one does need such viciousness in order to take on the likes of Admiral Theia.
