WILD SPACE HERALD
BREAKING NEWS
And yet, history repeats itself.
Weeks ago, a daring raid was executed by a group calling themselves The Wild Space Rebellion, using bold tactics to assault the Imperial shipyards around Mon Cala. While imperial records of the event are sparse as officials within the Confederation seem eager to downplay the incident, reports from neutral haulers in the area report that the rebels seem to have somehow made off with a not-insignificant portion of the orbital ring, and while imperial forces have managed to stabilize the rest of the ring, gravitational effects on the planet of Dac have been reported by impartial scientific experts.
This attack, in turn seemed to have sparked a retaliatory strike on Lothal, that while the Confederation seemed to have the upperhand at first with military might, outside forces seemed to have spared Lothal from the worst of the Empire's might.
Reports from Imperial Intelligence seem to indicate a sudden withdrawl from the system, as rebel forces move in to once more reinstate the dedication to the planet's defense and rehabilitation. Our in the field reporter Qwan Bilow has the scoop on what's happening on the ground.
"We've done everything we can. With the Imperials fleeing back to their fortress worlds, we're sure that the Empire will be back. But when that happens, we'll be ready."
"You heard it here folks! The Empire seems to be on the downturn once more. While yet another Imperial government goes through turmoil and decline, surely another will rise. But will it last? This reporter thinks not. If history is anything to go by, it'll be gone in another six months. Reporting from the field, Qwan Bilow, Wild Space Herald."
