Imperial Navy Aviators Thwart Rebel Privateer Attempt at Mass Destruction Terrorism

Y-wing fighter/bomber craft with Rebel 'Gold Squadron' colors of the sort sighted accompanying WMD-loaded droid vessels

ORVAX SYSTEM - TIE Fighter and Bomber formations prevented a terrorist attack by rebel and syndicate forces today. Droid-operated vessels loaded with weapons of mass destruction were intercepted and destroyed.

Two droid-operated spacecraft loaded with proton bombs were intercepted and destroyed in the Orvax system yesterday. While notorious for working commissions for Outer Rim criminal syndicates, these droid vessels were accompanied and directed by a Y-Wing fighter-bomber flying Rebel 'Gold Squadron' colors.

Analysts suggest that this change in tactics from conventional terrorist attacks to mass destruction terrorist attacks represents a strategic shift from attempting to overthrow the legitimate government of the galaxy to one aimed at complete nihilism on the part of the Rebellion.

While the Imperial Navy continues to mop up remaining rebel and syndicate forces in the aftermath of the Arkanis suppression the criminal and rebel elements, these have clearly become more desperate. A shift from attempts to subvert the legal Imperial order towards nihilistic terrorism demonstrates that the final end of the Rebellion is at hand. Soon, even the benighted aliens of the Outer Rim will see the Rebellion for what it is and embrace the rule of the Empire as their last best hope for peace and security.
