Rebel Slicers Ousted from Holonet Receiver Station

Holonet Receiver Station in Parein system

PAREIN SYSTEM - The Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) detected a rebel slicer engaged in spying on Imperial communications at a Holonet receiver station. Her activities have been halted following swift action by the Imperial Navy.

With the Rebel insurgency attempting ever more desperate measure to slice the Holonet, the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) has taken increased measures to create Holonet security. Today, in collaboration with units of the Imperial Navy, swift action was undertaken to eject a Rebel slicer from her infiltration aboard a Holonet receiver station in the Parein system of the Aturi Cluster on the Outer Rim.

The ISB believes the Rebellion is attempting to slice into the personal records of loyal Imperial citizens, in order to expose them to blackmail and extortion. Fortunately, the ISB is capable of accessing citizens' records in order to persuade them to give the Empire the evidence needed to bring such criminal slicers to justice.

Moff Lankin of the Hook Nebula sector, which contains the Aturi cluster, is expected to sign orders allowing the necessary intrusive methods to pursue a counter-slicing campaign over the sectors holonets. His aides inform HNN that those orders shall be signed as soon as he returns from the Nulan system.

Elsewhere in the lawless Aturi cluster, Imperial units operating from aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer Retribution detected an infamous Rebel craft, Bright Hope. The Bright Hope is a GR-75 freighter that had been involved in running the blockade of the Calamari sector last year. Fortunately for galactic stability, its mission failed, but it seems to have resurfaced in the Aturi cluster. Imperial forces are looking to track down the fugitive freighter and her crew.

Empire Quashes Sedicious Rumor

Gozanti-class assault carrier Suppressor returning from patrol during which it did not encounter the fugitive transport Bright Hope

BRIGIA SYSTEM - The Empire refutes rumor and speculation that the fugitive transport Bright Hope slipped past its blockade at the Eredenn system. Those spreading this hearsay will be charged with treason.

Treasonous rumors erupted earlier today that the fugitive transport Bright Hope escaped capture by the Imperial Assault Carrier Suppressor. The Suppressor has been on a routine outer-system patrol of the Eredenn system, but the ship's political officer reports that no fugitive transports were sighted.

The rumors falsely suggest that the Bright Hope bypassed the Imperial blockade that isolates the rebellious Calamari sector from interstellar commerce.

The Keldrath Sector office of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order (COMPNOR) has declared spreading rumors about the passage of Rebel ships through the Imperial blockade as covered by the Official Falsehoods Act. Those spreading official falsehoods about such events will be charged, found guilty, and committed to the spice mines of Kessel for re-education.

The Official Falsehoods Act covers all statements found to be treasonous to the lawful order of the galaxy as governed by the Galactic Empire. Sector COMPNOR offices have the authority to place particular falsehoods on the Official Falsehoods list.

The Galactic Civil Liberties Union (GCLU) has appealed the decision. Pursuant to that appeal being put on the Official Falsehoods list, the chapter members of the GCLU were deported to the spice mines of Kessel.

Bright Hope Sighted in Clariv System

CLARIV SYSTEM - the Rebel transport Bright Hope has passed through the Clariv System en route to Calamari sector. The Empire attempts to clean up system of piracy, insurrection and weapons smuggling.

A deep space probe droid has once again sighted the elusive Rebel transport Bright Hope. After a sighting in the Rudrig system earlier this week, the transport was observed in the Clariv system. She is suspected of traveling the Tion Trade Route towards the Calamari sector.

Imperial patrols were ordered to search and apprehend the Bright Hope. While the transport was not detected a second time, Imperial patrols did encounter and eliminate pirate and traitor forces operating in the system.

The Clariv system has been a wretched hive of traitors and criminals, though in recent weeks Imperial patrols have worked to eliminate the forces of a dastardly pirate named Seedy Elie. It is suspected that Elie's forces attempted to intercept the Bright Hope, possibly in order to guide it past Imperial patrols.

Pirates, syndicates, and other Outer Rim criminals have been known to collaborate with the Rebellion. The Rebellion, being an agent of lawlessness and nihilism, provides a service to the criminal sector of distracting the Imperial Navy, Imperial Security Bureau, and Imperial Intelligence from their task of providing law and order to the galaxy. Within the cracks of lawlessness, especially in the alien-infested Outer Rim, the criminals find greater ease in plying their corrupt trades, larceny and racketeering.

The Bright Hope remains at large.
