This breaking news account coming to you from the Galactic News Service. Early last week the fleet of the Order of Krath was pummeled while passing through the Tatooine system during a routine synchronization jump. One of our reporters, a guest of Master Solo's on board his flagship, reports her experiences during the encounter.

"I was standing on the bridge as we exited hyperspace. All of a sudden loud noises started reverbrating throughout the ship, and immediately reports came in from the other ships in the fleet, having the same problem. Master Solo ordered an exit vector quickly, and the fleet jumped to a repair station in the Omega Nebula. As I was escorted back to my ship to leave, I passed by a space tech mumbling about how the dings in the ships would have to be hammered out."

The fleet came in on one wing and a prayer, as the saying goes. Our reporter, though not allowed many pictures, described several Trade Federation-class Battleships being escorted by half a dozen Dreadnaught and Acclamator-class ships moving into the nebula to be serviced. She hailed the Krath flagship and was routed to the bridge, where she observed Master Solo lay aside the latest issue of Lucin to comment only that he enjoyed Black Suns candor regarding the matter at Tatooine. He also warned against hail storms in the sector, suggesting an alternate route. Our reporter snapped one final picture of a Krath Battleship as it jumped late into the system, being slowed down by accrued space-mold and other inhibitors contracted during a deep-system scan of the derelict imperial fleet near Tatooine.
