Raid on Deep Space Jump point(Alliance News Network)
Last week Alliance forces were involved in raiding the Deep Space hyperpoint in order to secure the route from the heavy Imperial Patrols. It is believed that the transport of weapons and various heavy military assets were being shipped through deep space from other systems. It is of importance to note that the Rebellion has been able to gain a strong foot hold on all of the major system planets, from Tatooine, Corellia, and even the Emperor's world of Naboo. Raids have continued throughout the past few weeks of Imperial installations as well as on various Imperial Space Stations. Alliance forces have been able to show an aptitude for gaining equipment and personnel at a rapid pace so much so that the Empire is hard pressed to keep up with this activity.
Due to the nature of the system and large magnetic storms Alliance Starfighter Command had to put restrictions on the fighter escorts and were only able to enter the system with minimal carrier and capital ship support. Orders were to defend the local rebel station which had come under siege by an Imperial Star Destroyer which had launched numberous fighters and gunboats. Sometime during the mission Alliance forces encounter Decimator Class ships and a capital ship battle ensued. Secondary objectives not laid out in the briefings or to any other Ship commander, one of the Alliance ships was able to dock and board the ship for a short time and slice in and download the contents of the ships computer to a small R5 Unit. It is unknown what this R5 unit was able to gain but the Empire is searching throughout the galaxy for this information.
As a direct result of this assult Alliance forces were able to gain intelligence on a raid on the Corellian system which will result sometime this week. (Saturday 7:00 EST April 23rd. Rebels meet at Tyrena Station between 6:00 - 6:30 EST.) We believe that this is simply a show of force, or the preparation for a much larger or broader raid on the Corellian Shipyards which have been producing some of our equipment. Alliance forces have been requested to secure three locations with in the system. The Void, Secure Route ID-5N and Rayless Lantern. Due to heavy patrols restrictions have been placed on this mission specifically CorSec Wing is the only hyperpoint in the system that is safe and secure for the Alliance. Corellia's Own has been blockaded and is off limits for the Alliance due to High Imperial Presence. Again like many of the other hit and fade runs that Alliance Starfighter Command is involved in this must be accomplished with in the first 50 minutes. (10 Minute rule applies, you may return at any time except for the last 10 minutes of the hour.) It is as yet unknown if Colonel Gwreng Masnahcwr will be able to lead this mission or not but all communication should be directed to him.
