Imperial Navy Overwhelms Rebels, Criminal Syndicates

Emperor Palpatine arrives in Arkanis sector

ARKANIS SYSTEM - In preparation for the Emperor's arrival in the long-benighted Arkanis Sector, the rebellion and the Rebellion and the paramilitary forces of the criminal syndicates of that region of the galaxy have been crushed. With the destruction of these forces of chaos, criminality and anarchy, the Arkanis sector is expected to return to Imperial normalcy without delay.

'Inspired' by the Emperor's imminent arrival, Moff Dzon Brennin ordered swift action to be taken against the Rebel and criminal presence in the sector. Contrary to previous policy, Moff Brennin encouraged the use of standard units of TIE/ln fighters and TIE/sa bombers.

According to reports, while some starfighter elements continued to use experimental and state-of-the-art equipment, standard formations carried the day in the suppression of crime and insurrection today. According to HNN analysts, this was due to Moff Brennin's evolution of strategic thinking induced by the Emperor's approach.

Moff Brennin's 'evolution' comes after weeks of conflict between regular and special operations units on the borders between the Arjanis sector and neighboring sectors along the Corellian Run trade route.

Moff Brennin is a former Imperial Intelligence officer, who favored an irregular approach towards rooting out the Rebellion and the criminal syndicates within his jurisdiction. While he once claimed that "irregular adversaries require irregular means", Moff Brennin is now reported to understand the true power of standard Imperial Navy doctrine, and the New Order's uniform approach towards civil unrest and other forms of criminality.

With the arrival of Emperor Palpatine and a fleet of Raider-class corvettes in the Trailing Sectors of the Outer Rim, a strategic shift towards larger targets is expected.

Meanwhile, some elements of the Imperial forces in the Arkanis sector still await the reinforcement of the Raider-class, despite the scheduled commencement of operations targeting larger vessels along the Corellian Run.
