After the engagement last week were the task force led by commander Josbu Thake engaged and destroyed a small rebel fleet, the citizens of the Ord Trasi system have remained uneasy and suspicious of rebel activity. These suspicions were not unfounded as the task force was attacked a second time while on a patrol near the Vykos system within the Relgim sector. The task force which had split up to cover a greater area had also received reinforcements in the form of an additional Gladiator class star destroyer named Insidious, consisted of the the Victory-1 class Cossack, the Insidious, and the Gladiator class Demolisher. The rebels that assaulted this patrol were surprisingly well armed with there force consisting primarily of snub fighters escorting a single Nebulan-b and surprisingly a never before seen ship in this part of the galaxy an Assault Frigate Mark 2.

the task force suffered heavy losses due to a few well placed bombs from the rebel snub fighters that were able to disable both Gladiator Class destroyers over the course of the engagement, However the Empire remains victorious and was able to destroy both enemy Frigates along with many of the rebels pathetic snub fighters. Both Gladiotors have been recovered and are currently under repairs in the Ord Trasi ship-yards and are expected to be fully operational in next few weeks.

We asked commander Josbu Thake to comment on the attack, " The cowards dropped out of hyper space right in front of our forward patrols and tired to use those fighters they are so proud of to destroy us, bah! the Empire will never fall to such terrorist and we will hunt them down and find their base of operations, then we will Destroy them!! They will pay for the lives that they took Today!"

We wish him well in his search and hope that they will be able to bring these traitors to justice.
