Grand Theft Fightercraft Thwarted

Fighter Garrison in Pakuuni System

PAKUUNI SYSTEM - Ship thieves working for Rebellion were caught in act of stealing advanced Imperial fighter from the fighter garrison in the Pakuuni system today. The thieves were apprehended alive and are undergoing interrogation.

The thieves were permitted to abscond with several newer advanced Twin Ion Engine craft of the TIE/D Defender and TIE/X1 Advanced variety. The thieves were also reported to be in possession of a Lambda-class shuttle.

Depite prior knowledge of the attempted theft, the thieves were forced to surrender by a routine TIE fighter patrol.

The plot to steal the fightercraft in question was discovered during the interrogation of an associate of the thieves, who was induced to turn in evidence against his former compatriots. According to the authorities holding the thieves after their surrender, they go by the names "Gargon" and "Achell". The authorities warn loyal citizens not to express their outrage by assailing the thieves' families, who live in the nearby Mullan system, whose addresses can easily be found in a rudimentary HoloNet search.

According to officials with the Imperial Security Bureau, the advanced fightercraft in question were never in any true dangers of being stolen. The thieves were allowed to fly away from the garrison with their hyperdrives disabled in order to test the skills of rebel ship thieves for strategic purposes. While some reporters from less-than-loyal news outlets were incredulous of the ISB's assertion, the spice mines of Kessel are said to be satisfied with the reporters' new-found work ethic.
