Today the Galactic press called a conference on Coruscant with Minister
Thrawn of the Galactic Empire's Ministry of State. The Imperial government
official had the following statements to make:

"Citizens of the Galactic Empire, subjects of the Imperial throne, sentient
beings across the galaxy! Today is a momentous day for the Galactic Empire and
the New Order. A known thief, terrorist and defector has been brought to justice
by bounty hunters. The hit on a former Army Sergeant, one of the last alien
Imperials left over from the days of the alien loving Charon, was the first of
many to come in a series of strikes against known terrorists and pirates across
the galaxy. They will all share the fate of the former Sergeant as punishment
for crimes against the Galactic Empire. Other pirates and members of the Falleen
regime were taken out in similar operations in the past week. Among were Shado
Fyyar, Nasium, Reth Naquim and Alexsander Ivanov. It is a fate all who oppose
the Emperor will share.

To co-ordinate operations and joint missions between the Galactic Empire and
numerous bounty hunter guilds, the Empire has formed the Bounty Hunter
Commission (BHC). The Commission reports to the Imperial Security Bureau which
is a COMPNOR division. All bounty hunters are encouraged to visit their local
ISB office for details regarding official Imperial arrest warrants and
information on how to get a license to hunt within Imperial space.

To increase awareness of the Imperial arrest warrants and the lucrative
business of bounty hunting, the ISB has ordered all major news and entertainment
sections of the holonet to feature banners with the picture of at least one
person wanted by the Galactic Empire. In addition, the printing of five hundred
million wanted posters has been requested and will be seen on numerous worlds
across the galaxy within the weeks to come from core to rim.

The BHC has released the following "most wanted" list available on the
galactic holonet:
