Rumors of Grand Theft Starfighter Patently False

TIE fighter, a TIE Advanced Prototype, and a TIE Defender engages in war games.

PAKUUNI SYSTEM - The Imperial NAvy once again effortlessly prevented would-be thieves from stealing state-of-the-art space superiority fighters from the Pakuuni Sector Group special fighter garrison on Pakuuni proper.

With the space superiority fightercraft of the Empire clearly outclassing the aged and obsolete fightercraft flown by the Rebellion, demand for such vessels the black market are driving a high price for any that might possibly be stolen. Thankfully, the Empire has them under such high security that any attempting such heinous larceny are caught and incarcerated long before they even have the chance to lay eyes on such specialized hardware.

No larceny has taken place, and any imagery of active-fire combat between line starfighters and the specialized space superiority fighters that has been captured depicts training exercises between loyal Imperial starfighter pilots.

Nevertheless, seditious rumors abound that attempts to to take control of such specialized craft have succeeded and that villainous cartels have come in the possession of such TIE craft. These rumors are, however, patently false and any spreading such falsehoods make themselves liable for prosecution.

"No state-of-the-art vessels were stolen from the Pakuuni Garrison," Mr. Prop Agandist of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR) told HNN reporters.

When disloyal reporters pressed Mr. Agandist further on the matter, he replied with "all lies," as the disloyal reporters were taken into custody by the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB).

meanwhile, occasional skirmishes against the treasonous Rebellion continue to take place, with rebel starfighter groups summarily being defeated even by TIE/sa Bomber craft, whose primary mission profile is against capital vessels, rather than starfighters.
