Star Wars Galaxies: Empire Occupies Sandstorm City! (Starsider)

As you can see from these exclusive holos which were smuggled out of Sandstorm yesterday, the Empire has responded with a surprisingly large force for a simple security operation. Our source reports that Imperial troops are detaining citizens and non-residents for questioning as well as conducting searches of town structures. Sandstorm City officials are calling for calm and cooperation with Imperial forces. "With luck, we'll be out from under this blockade soon", said a civic official who declined to give his name for the record.

Rumors are circulating that a similar "security operation" centered on Lake Wild, Dantooine, is somehow related to the missing data. Imperial officials refused to confirm or deny that a security operation is even occurring on Dantooine and subsequently arrested our reporter on undisclosed charges.
