"Ever since the cowardly attack on the Death Star, we've been hunting the perpetrators of this crime day and night," said an Imperial Navy spokesman yesterday. "They simply hate the Empire, and all we represent, but we will never bow to terrorists," he added.
However, some are concerned that the Empire is misdirecting its efforts. "If the attack came from the small moon of Yavin, then why are we sending all our troops to suppress Tatooine?" asked one concerned Rodian.
One conspiracy theorist also pointed out her thoughts on the difficulty of catching the elusive Admiral Ackbar. "You know he used to be Grand Moff Tarkin's personal assistant, right? That's why he knows all our tactics. We trained him, and he turned on us." Before his untimely death, however, Tarkin denied all connections to Ackbar.
Meanwhile, as more & more stormtroopers are being deployed to Tatooine, local attacks by Tusken raiders have been increasing almost daily. Casualties are beginning to mount, and there is a shortage of cloned soldiers. "We may have to begin conscription," hinted General Veers, "it's not something we want to do, but all citizens of the Empire have a duty to perform, just as I do."
Citizens are also concerned that no amount of military presence will truly stabilize the region. Numerous crime lords have been battling for control of the world for a long time, and the recent occupation has only increased their violence towards each other, and our brave Imperial troops stationed there.
"We're working hard to restore order to this world," said Veers, "but it won't be easy. Obviously we will make a point to insure that whoever we allow to serve as the Emperor's new vassal is one who will best serve Imperial interests - and keep those cursed Rebel scum off the planet. Right now we are negotiating with our most likely candidate, Jabba the Hutt, who has already employed a crack team of bounty hunters in the past to hunt down the treasonous Rebel leaders, the Jedi."
Still, though, many wonder whether or not the provincial governor of Tatooine ever had anything to do with the destruction of the Death Star.
"We know that the pilot of the Rebel ship that committed the atrocity was from here, so there must be some sort of connection," said Captain Torres of the 1572th AT-AT battalion.
But one thing is clear: the Rebels are still out there, and no one in the Empire is safe until they have been stopped. When and where will their next attack place? And can we be protected?
During a speech yesterday, Emperor Palatine closed by saying "Bring it on."
