Welcome to the Galactic News Service
CORUSCANT (INB) - The galaxy has become a safer place today as the Empire announces the execution of two key members of the criminal organisation known as the Raptor Pirates. A prospective member of the Order of the Sith succesfully captured two force wielding pirates and delivered them to Imperial Intelligence to face the Imperial justice system.
Once a wide-spread criminal organisation, the Raptor Pirates surprised the galaxy when news reached the galaxy of Squall Chitose's capture at their hands last year, however they have steadily declined and slipped into obscurity since. Amongst the guilty was Sivad Nivram, one of the leaders of the pirates, who had already been proclaimed dead in Year 4. Despite his apparent death, Sivad was found to still be alive when he achieved short-lived prominence for the theft of an Acclamator Assault Ship from the now deceased Teniel Djo. The other pirate was identified by court records as Jor El, a Jedi Master who turned to a life of crime.
The prisoners were transferred to a high-security prison in the Coruscant system and subsequently given a chance to plead their case before the Imperial Courts. With the defence unable to overcome the plethora of evidence of their guilt, the pair were sentenced to death on a range of charges, including piracy. As the duo were force sensitive, the execution was handled by the Inquisitorious, a division of the Order of the Sith responsible for the capture and punishment of force-related crimes. An official communique from the Galactic Empire stated that "The Empire is the galaxy's only guarantee for a peaceful and ordered society. While our enemies like the New Republic and Krath make pacts and peace agreements with pirates, we will continue our fight to rid the galaxy of such despicable crime".
