Skirmishes Rage in Arkanis Sector: Outcome Undetermined


The Arkanis sector. HNN reporters embedded with a special operations element in the Andooweel system report on Imperial action against criminals and insurrectionist rebels. The Andooweel system is the last stop along the Triellus Trade Route before Tatooine, a notorious hive of scum and villainy.

ANDOOWEEL SYSTEM - Open warfare erupted in the Arkanis sector yesterday, as the Rebellion attempted to complete the state of lawlessness and anarchy in this sector of crime and insurrection. While HNN can report on the units with which it was embedded, the outcome of the full Battle for Arkanis remains unclear.

Signs were hopeful in the beginning of the battle, as a large number of special operations units were elements to multiple locations within the sector. The special operations elements each consisted of a VT-49 Decimator and a smaller nimbler craft, usually an elite interceptor, but occasionally a classified spacecraft.

Early in the fight, a group of criminal-element fighters were discovered in the Andooweel system and destroyed by the Imperial special operations elements. The rebellion, which had previously been sighted in the sector, came to revenge Imperial action on the criminal fighters. It has also been reported that evidence is incontrovertible that the criminals and rebels are in collusion with one another to spread a lawless reign of crime and terrorism. These rebels too were dispatched by the special operations element with which HNN was embedded.

In order to maintain their skills at the highest level, a number of special operations units also engaged in wargames with one another while in the sector. If this was also in order to create a false sense of internecine hostilities between the Imperial elements so as to confuse the Rebellion and criminal cartels, or if it was a means of entertaining themselves remains unclear. Nevertheless, the wargames between the special operations elements was clearly a cordial affair.

Towards the end of the day, however, the rebellion demonstrated stiffer resistance when a light freighter carrying contraband was discovered and its A-wing escorts managed to escort it away from Imperial arrest. Also, a flight of various fighters known to operate for the rebellion - X-wing fighters accompanied by a Y-wing fighter-bomber and a Z-95 escort (which have also been seen in the fighter complements of the criminal elements in the Arkanis sector) - attacked the special operations element in the Andooweel system. While the holocam feed to the special operations unit was lost, it is safely assumed that the special operations element defeated the rebels and the failure of the feed was simply one of technical difficulties.

HNN is standing by to learn the overall results of the battle for the Arkanis sector, but the Imperial Navy is still assessing the impact of their attempts to curtail rebel and criminal activity in the benighted sector.
