Standard Order of Battle Continues to Eradicate Crime in Arkanis Sector


Standard Imperial starfighter formation

VOR DEO SYSTEM - Following a string of victories for TIE fighters and bombers of the standard naval starfighter unit formation, the Imperial Navy defeats more criminal syndicate forces in the Arkanis sector. Moff Dzon Brennin of the Arkanis' career (and life) uncertain.

TIE fighters and bombers operating from the Vindicator-class heavy cruiser Pernicious destroyed two flights of criminal syndicate craft today, continuing a campaign to wipe crime out in the Arkanis Sector. For months, the Arkanis sector has been plagued by a crime wave coupled with insurrection.

These successes come on the heels of a number of similar victories for the Imperial Navy, at a time when the ruling Moff of the Arkanis Sector had implemented a policy of irregular combat against the rebel and criminal forces. Moff Dzon Brennan, a former Imperial Intelligence officer, surmised that an irregular threat should be fought with irregular means. The 'Special Operations Units', frequently consisting of a hyperspace-capable VT-49 Decimator-class assault ships towing TIE interceptors with elite pilots, or other classified craft equipped with specialized equipment.

These differences in strategic approach recently led to hostilities between the forces charged with implementing the naval blockade of the Arkanis sector and those charged with eradicating crime and insurrection in the Arkanis sector proper.

The failure of the Special Operations Units compared to the success of the standard order-of-battle formations has put Moff Brennin in disfavor with Imperial Center. It is even rumored that the Emperor Himself is to travel to the Arkanis Sector in order to review Moff Brennin's performance. He is rumored to arrive in the Arkanis Sector later this week, complete with several flotillas of Raider-class corvettes to fundamentally change the nature of the counter-insurgency and counter-criminality campaign.

With the Emperor due to arrive, Moff Brennin has redoubled efforts to clean up the Arkanis sector before the Emperor arrives. A source unwilling to be identified claimed that the Emperor was less forgiving of failure than even Lord Darth Vader.
