Empire Retakes Turkana in Show of Heroism

Commodore Ma'gi'eo orders the attack on the Turkana system, destroying the Rebel fleet located there.

TURKANA SYSTEM - A heavy attack line consisting of two Imperial II-class Star Destroyers under the command of Commodore Ma'gi'eo destroyed the Rebel remnant in the Turkana system earlier this week.

The Star Destroyers caught out a rebel flagship, which was forced to retreat back towards the Mon Calamari homeworld minutes before facing final destruction at the hands of massed turbolasers. During the battle the commanders and crew of the star destroyed demonstrated skill and heroism, as these engaged in expert close maneuvers in order to mass fire upon the Rebel vessels.

The Rebellion proved to be overconfident in the new-found firepower of their refurbished luxury liners, as well as what is being called the 'Ackbar Doctrine'.

The 'Ackbar Doctrine', so named for Grand Moff Tarkin's ungrateful former servant, involves a cowardly gambit to skirt the edge of combat, relying on long-distance turbolaser cannons fired from broadsides. This contrasts to the Imperial Navy's more courageous direct approach of facing the enemy head on, and not fleeing from combat.

Denizens of the Turkana system rejoiced as the Empire finally liberated them from the chaos and lawnessness that had befallen them one month ago when the Empire evacuated important personnel ahead of the Rebel incursions into the Turkana and Codru systems. Only a handful of rebel sympathizers were rounded up and questioned, as much of the population had remained loyal to the Empire.
