Pirates, Rogues, and Scoundrels

There has been increased pirate activity,especially in the mid and outer rims of the galaxy. The Empire has assured the people of the Empire that there will be "immediate justice" to these scum. Already, there are Clone War Acclamator I Assault ships at all major trading routes. These pirates are becoming more brazen in their tactics. They are many different criminal organizations out there that could be responsible for the attacks. We have reports of one spice trader, Smik O'sak that had his ship stolen when he was refueling at Sel Zonn station, which orbits over the planet of Brentaal.

"I'd reckon those varmint pirates have already unloaded my spice and sold my ship for parts. What am I supposed to do now? I have no ship and not only that my precious cargo was supposed to go to very eager clients. Those bloody mynocks!"

The Empire, unfortunately cannot repay these traders for their losses but they assured them that justice will be done quick and swiftly. As reported earlier, the Empire stated that the Imperial Navy is being revamped and will have more patrols in the galaxy. They did, however, say that the outer fringe will still be a dangerous zone and they have no immediate plans to patrol that location. So let the trader beware.

New Deal for Sienar Fleet Systems


Raith Sienar (pictured here) has just worked out a deal with the Empire. It seems that Sienar Fleet Systems has just increased their cred stick. The benevolent Emperor Palpatine has decided that it was just too expensive to continue making Republic starfighters. The Imperial Navy needs many ships to patrol the galaxy to make the Empire safe from terrorists and pirates. Raith Sienar, and his R&D department have come out with a prototype starship that is supposed to take the place of these expensive Republic Starfighters. It is still in the works, but Raith assures the Emperor that it will be one of the finest starships in the galaxy.
