Imperial Navy Aviators Thwart Rebel Privateer Attempt at Mass Destruction Terrorism

ORVAX SYSTEM - TIE Fighter and Bomber formations prevented a terrorist attack by rebel and syndicate forces today. Droid-operated vessels loaded with weapons of mass destruction were intercepted and destroyed.

Two droid-operated spacecraft loaded with proton bombs were intercepted and destroyed in the Orvax system yesterday. While notorious for working commissions for Outer Rim criminal syndicates, these droid vessels were accompanied and directed by a Y-Wing fighter-bomber flying Rebel 'Gold Squadron' colors.

Analysts suggest that this change in tactics from conventional terrorist attacks to mass destruction terrorist attacks represents a strategic shift from attempting to overthrow the legitimate government of the galaxy to one aimed at complete nihilism on the part of the Rebellion.

While the Imperial Navy continues to mop up remaining rebel and syndicate forces in the aftermath of the Arkanis suppression the criminal and rebel elements, these have clearly become more desperate. A shift from attempts to subvert the legal Imperial order towards nihilistic terrorism demonstrates that the final end of the Rebellion is at hand. Soon, even the benighted aliens of the Outer Rim will see the Rebellion for what it is and embrace the rule of the Empire as their last best hope for peace and security.

Empire Re-establishes Control in Dalchon Sector

Loyalist line of the Imperial Navy faces down break-away line of the Dalchon sector

DALCHON SYSTEM - In a number of fleet engagements, ambitions for a reassertion of the forces of Moff Murquan as well as sundry other pretenders have been decisively put down by the Imperial Navy.

Different factions within the Dalchon sector of the Outer Rim, all usurping independent control over Imperial property paid for by good tax-paying citizens of the Core Worlds, were brought to heel in three separate fleet battles this last weekend.

After the recent insurrection of former-Moff Murquan of the Dalchon sector, as well as this traitor's arrest, a number of factions within the Dalchon sector attempted to claim the former Moff's authority, both from the Moff's deliquent followers as well as from a reassertive Imperial Navy.

Believing the Imperial Navy to be pre-occupied with its recapturing of the neighboring Arkanis sector, the Dalchon factions mistakenly took their chance to grab power within this hinterland of the Outer Rim. Surprising these sundry factions, the Imperial Navy deftly demonstrated the power of loyalty and doctrine.

The Imperial Navy struck at the Dalchon system proper, the capital and namesake of the sector. Meanwhile the other factions squabbled for supremacy in the outlying systems of the sector.

Aside from the faction once dominated by Moff Murquan, the upstart factions eschewed the use of fighter or bomber squadrons, which analysts assert is a sign of greater loyalty among the pilots of those squadrons. This fact left the upstart factions vulnerable to bomber attack.

Imperial bomber pilots quickly took advantage of these traitors' weaknesses, destroying most ships they encountered, and crippling others.

With power reasserted in favor of Imperial Center and the Oversector authorities of Eriadu, the citizenry trusts that the outer Rim denizens of the Dalchon Sector will fall in line and pay for the rebuilding of naval forces in their sector as well as reparations for those few units lost in the engagements.

Dalchon Sector Mutiny Decisively Put Down

ISCERA SYSTEM - Swift action by the Imperial Navy has crushed the last naval forces loyal to the traitor Moff Murquan. Imperial Center is to invest a new administrator after Murquan executed and last associates rounded up.

Loyal forces detached from the Savareen Blockade mission have destroyed naval vessels subservient to the traitorous Murquan.

A bomber line of Imperial Navy vessels, deploying an un- precedented six squadrons of TIE/sa Bomber craft, destroyed a similar light skirmish line of separatist vessels loyal to Marquan.

The TIE Bombers narrowly prevented the traitors' lead ship, the Victory-class star destroyer Usurper, from making the escape to lightspeed with expertly targeted concussion missiles to the ship's bow, causing a structural failure.

With the only recently-reversed wave of crime and insurrection in the Arkanis Sector, the Dalchon sector had begun operating independently from Imperial Center. In the meantime, the Dalchon Sector's traitorous Moff has been arrested, and the Imperial Navy is hunting down that Moff's remaining followers.

Navy Scores a Number of Victories for the Empire

 Imperial star destroyers keep the galaxy safe by apprehending Rebel leaders.

ARAPIA SYSTEM - In a series of naval victories, formations of Victory-class star destroyers destroy rebel hopes and work to put a swift end to separatism in the Dalchon sector. A Imperial Navy Pursuit Line destroyed a rebel flotilla seeking to transport a fugitive senator, while the separatist tendencies of the Dalchon sector's forces were swiftly stifled.

Sent on a mission to apprehend a fugitive former Senator-turned-traitor, the two star destroyers - the Vindictive and the Implacable - encountered the rebel flotilla, consisting of an assault frigate accompanied by two corvettes and escorted by several squadrons of B-wing heavy fighter-bombers. While Imperial justice was swiftly brought to one of the corvettes, the assault frigate carrying the fugitive senator was able to escape.

With both Naval Intelligence officers and a highly-placed Imperial Intelligence officer on board, the destination of the fugitive and her vessels were soon found out. The rebels were doubtlessly planning to connect with the traitors of the Dalchon sector in the Arapia system. The officers of the Imperial Navy Pursuit Line successfully planned and executed a fleet ambush, into which the rebel flotilla fell. Employing TIE bomber craft, the assault frigate and all aboard were destroyed.

The pursuit of the rebel flotilla into the Dalchon sector, heading the traitors off at the Arapia system, brought out the forces of the recently-captured Moff Murquan. Left leaderless, they sought to appeal to the Rebellion for replacement leadership.

The moment after the rebel flotilla was summarily destroyed by the ever-vigilent Imperial Navy, the formerly-Imperial forces of the Dalchon sector were sighted among a group of asteroids and a space station. According to Imperial Intelligence this station was where the Rebel ex-senator and the Dalchon leadership were to rendezvous, before their plans were disrupted.

The Dalchon forces consisted of two older types of Victory-class star destroyers and a smaller Gladiator-class star destroyer. While these were certainly a greater challenge than the sundry rebel craft, these ships, too, were destroyed by a combination of expert turbolaser fire and the heroic actions of the TIE Bomber pilots releasing their concussion missiles upon the star destroyers.

While the Outer Rim remains a dangerous part of the galaxy, with fraying loyalties, the Imperial Navy is on task to help the Emperor keep the galaxy, the New Order, and the Empire together.

Relgim Sector Task Force Apprehends Wayward Moff

ORVAX SYSTEM - Grand Moff Ardus Kaine dispatches Relgim Sector Admiral to force cease-fire between the Arkanis sector and surrounding sectors. Dispatched task force captures a wayward Moff, who escapes during a Rebel raid.

Seeking a swift end to the conflict between two Imperial factions, Grand Moff Ardus Kaine in charge of the Outer Rim Territories, sent a task force of star destroyers to the conflict zone. Kaine commissioned Commodore Josbu Thake, a hero of the Relgim Sector, to take charge of the task force, consisting of an Attack Line of Victory-class star destroyers.

The task force's first mission was to apprehend Moff Murquan of the Dalchon sector. The naval forces of the Dalchon sector have been directly involved with crossing into the Arkanis sector at the Sirpar, Gorno, and Khubeaie systems.

The task force challenged the Moff's smaller line of star destroyers and apprehended the Moff from an escape pod after his star destroyer was destroyed.

During regrouping maneuvers, after the Moff's capture, the Rebellion launched a lightning raid on the task force, but the task force was able to hyperspace out of the Orvax System before the Rebels could be successful.

Moff Murquan is expected to inform the intelligence officers under Commodore Thake's command of the connection between himself and the Rebel raiders.

The conflict concerns a jurisdictional and strategic dispute between Moff Dzon Brennin of the Arkanis Sector, and the Admiralty in charge of the Savareen Blockade. The Arkanis Sector has experienced a brutal crime wave, with Moff Brennin charged to put it down. The Savareen Blockade, centered on the Savareen sector, was erected around the Arkanis sector to starve criminals and rebels in the Arkanis sector of resources. The Moff Murquan and the Dalchon sector forces have operated under orders of the Savareen Blockade admiralty.
