Corellian Sector Group Restructures 'Manifest Destiny' Patrol Line For Increased Efficiency

An Arquitens-class light cruiser from the 'Manifest Destiny' patrol line pulls into the military shipyard facility on Xyquine II.

XYQUINE II - In an effort to increase efficiency in the Imperial Navy, the Corellian Sector Group reassesses its resource needs and expenditures. Moff Hassel-stein has ordered cuts to 'Manifest Destiny' Patrol Line.

A week after an ignominious defeat for the Rebellion, Moff Mikael Hasselstein reported that the Imperial fleets have nearly been repaired and refitted, though his own line of Gladiator-class star destroyers and support vessels did not require either. Another fleet, the 'Manifest Destiny' squadron of Arquitens-class light cruisers, had not been as unfortunate. Not only had the fleet not performed to expectations, but the Moff's accountants had found misspent resources. The fleet's commander has been permanently relieved of duty, with Hasseltein personally taking command of the fleet.

"What happened was unfortunate," a spokesman for the fleet told HNN, "and responsible parties have taken responsibility. The 'Manifest Destiny' patrol line will be stripped of excesses, and repurposed towards brining the Rebellion to heel more efficiently. The Corellian Sector Group can be trusted with the Emperor's hard-earned credits."

According to an unnamed source, three Arquitens-class light cruisers had been refitted with reinforced blast doors, allowing the cruisers to attempt to mitigate battle damage. These refits had not received authorization from the Moff, and they are reported to being repurposed.

The same source reported a free-lance Trandoshan on the Imperial payroll, commenting that the Empire "does not need reptilian scum." When filing a Freedom of Information request about the payroll allegation, HNN was informed that the 'Freedom of Information Decree' only applies to agents of the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) in regards to the personal information of private citizens and other subjects. According to the HNN editorial staff, the intern who filed the request has since been enjoying his time in a reeducation camp.

It appears that after recalculating Bryan's fleet, there were too many points spent. (This was not Bryan's oversight, but my own. However, in the Empire, the bantha poodoo flows downhill.) I am taking out the Reinforced Blast Doors. Bossk stays.
