Empire Gathers Valuable Intelligence on Mon Calamari Forces

Mon Calamari luxury liner turned into weapon of mass terrorism.

CALUULA SYSTEM - In several engagements in the Dellalt system, the Imperial Navy probed Rebel lines in order to discover weaknesses in the Mon Calamari militia forces.

The Empire gained valuable intelligence on Mon Calamari militia capabilities in two actions against the Rebellion in the Dellalt system yesterday. Several Imperial battle lines struck at the Mon Calamari militia forces, gaining new insights into the weaknesses of this alien race's haphazard fleet.

"The Mon Calamari have nothing but refitted luxury liners," a spokesman for Admiral Kendal Ozzel told HNN reporters. "The Imperial Navy will have nothing to fear from them once the fleet has massed and begins its drive towards the Mon Calamari home world."

Adm. Kendal Ozzel

Commodore Ozzel was the commander of the first sortie against the Rebellion. Having traveled back to Caluula aboard a hyperspace-capable escape pod in order to bring the Naval leadership as well as the loyal press (such as HNN), Ozzel was rewarded for his bravery with an on-the-spot promotion.

While some cynics have referred to Ozzel as both "clumsy and stupid", Ozzel is generally regarded as a rising force within the Navy, having developed a tactical doctrine of surprise attacks and swift action.

A profile in both courage and brilliance, Ozzel is expected to make swift promotion, possibly earning a commission at the head of Lord Vader's personal squadron of star destroyers.
