Calor Norda, reporting for Empire News Network.
Tragedy struck as a radical Republic terrorist group attacked an Imperial Military Fuel depot in Imperial Space. With the war waging on between both Imperial and Republic forces many speculate that the group responsible is directly funded by the Republic. Comprised of corvette class capital ships and a squadron of starfighters, the terrorist group is highly suspected of being funded by the corrupt Republic government.
Following the attack, the terrorists stole food supplies and medical equipment intended to be used to aid refugees seeking asylum from Republic oppression. Due to this barbaric attack the lives of several Imperial navy staff as well as army personnel stationed to protect these vital supplies were cruelly taken.
The survivors of the attack witnessed point blank executions as well as the heartless destruction of escape pods from Imperial warships defending the fuel depot. Rumors of cannibalism as well as degradation of the bodies of the honored military personnel was also rumored to have taken place in the aftermath of the attack.
Due to the location of the fuel depot there are speculations of traitorous informants and Republic spies among the civilian populations. The Sith Agency of Intelligence is rumored to have begun investigations into possible leaks through collaboration with the Imperial military and civilian investigative agencies.
The honored heroes of the Empire who died defending the well being of the Empire as well as the aid supplies will be honored later this week in a memorial service to commemorate their sacrifice for these noble endeavours.
Many Imperial political analysts suggests that due to the recent attacks in Imperial space through the use of Terrorist groups the Republic hopes to achieve victory through the use of plausible deniability for war crimes and mass murder.
