A lead Kuat ship designer, a Duros named Gelnar Tol was
reported missing one week ago. He was abducted while on leave on the planet
Kuat. Gelnar Tol is responsible for designing the refit of the Vindicator Heavy
Cruiser into the Interdictor and was one of the lead designers on the Imperial
Star Destroyer project. He is the third Kuat Ship Engineer to go missing this
year.
Sienar Fleet Systems, the Corellian Engineering Corporation, Koensayr Manufacturing, the Loronar Corporation, and Rendili Stardrive have all reported that some of their top engineers have gone missing in the last three years.
So far no one has claimed responsibility for these abductions though Imperial sources suspect Separatist terrorists looking to build warships for a campaign against the Empire. The Emperor's public affairs office insists that these abductions should show the good people of the galaxy that the Empire's shipbuilding program is needed for the common defense.
