Citizens of the Galactic Empire have been buzzing with anticipation with the opening of the annual Imperial Ball soon to begin. The Imperial Ball is a traditional military ball held yearly at the Imperial Palace with personnel from all Imperial divisions attending. The event is to occur on Year 11 Day 111. Commander Tao, organizer of the ball, consulted a mystic and it was found that the selected date would be an auspicious day that will bring great fortune to the Empire.

CORUSCANT (INB) - The Imperial Security Bureau has today released information regarding the rumored pirate attack upon an Imperial transport several days ago. From the steps of the Imperial Palace, a COMPNOR spokesman confirmed the attack, but downplayed its significance to the safety of the Empire.
  
The Imperial Ball is a long-standing tradition that brings Imperials together for networking opportunities where officers meet face-to-face with their subordinates in a relaxed atmosphere. Guests will be introduced by an Imperial Guard and greeted by members representing the Empire in the formal reception line. This tradition ensures that each guest is welcomed and directed to the host, Commander Tao of the Imperial Navy, who will indicate where the guests shall be seated. There will be a ceremonial Parading of the Colors followed by dignitary speeches. Musical entertainment will be done by the esteemed Lady Rocher of Coruscant. After the dinner, traditional military toasts will be given to honor military personnel, leaders and guests. Finally, the long awaited formal dance will be held. Following her success with the Imperial Fleet Day, there has been great anticipation for the Imperial Ball amongst the Empire with many expecting the event to be the most successful to date.

"Yes, I can confirm that an Imperial starship was attacked by pirates while returning to Coruscant several days ago," the spokesman announced, a slight grin appearing on his face. "However, I can proudly announce that at no time was the security of the Empire at risk. In fact, what appeared to this pirate group at first to be a simple unarmed freighter was, in reality, a heavily-armored troop transport carrying several squads of Security Bureau stormtroopers home to Coruscant following their previous assignment."
  
As the Imperial Ball draws closer, the Imperial Palace has became a hive of activity as the organizing team began preparing the grounds for the festivities that would come with the annual occasion. Excitement has been high in the past few days as guests from across the Galaxy arrive in preparation for the opening ceremony. Even the Imperial Military, stationed on Coruscant since the conclusion of the Clone Wars and assisting in the organization of the Ball, have been getting into the spirit of the occasion with excitement and great anticipation filling the hearts of the seasoned veterans. One officer stated so succinctly "I've been waiting to get my dance on!"

From reports received by INB through various channels and sources, this is the story we've been able to piece together: the pirates, believing the ship to be unarmed and carrying large amounts of valuable materials (due to a fake manifest submitted by Imperial authorities), attacked the Imperial transport while the ship was in sublight travel through a particularly treacherous expanse of space. The Bureau Stormtroopers onboard trained their weapons on the hull breach and accepted the surrender of the small band of pirates, all of whom reportedly froze in terror at the sight of the well-trained Imperial shock troops.
  
The Imperial News Service has been granted special access to the Imperial Ball, where it has been found that Brigadier General L'Annan, Commanding Officer of the Imperial Army, will be performing a cultural dance at the Imperial Ball. She has chosen the Victory March which is an excerpt from the ballet The Seven Romances of Andante. The choice of dance exemplifies the overpowering might of the Empire. Brigadier General L'Annan graduated from the Crollian Academy of Dance and Music, receiving a qualification for Traditional Dance before enlisting into the Imperial Army.

We managed to reach Brigadier General Mikel von Bianchi, the Imperial Security Bureau's Chief of Enforcement, in his downtown Coruscant office. When asked about the effectiveness of the Bureau's Stormtrooper detachment, he couldn't help but smile before answering, "These troopers are not only some of the Bureau's best, they are some of the best and most fearsome troops in the entire Empire. I would pity any who had to stare down the barrels of their rifles, had those persons not already chosen a deplorable life of crime."
  
With the entire Empire capturing the spirit of the Ball, many citizens within the Empire are expected to hold their own Imperial Ball parties. Once such example is The Sky Loft, a high profiled bar, hosting a pre-party with an Imperial theme. The Sky Loft is owned by Commander Tao and operated by Senior Workman Lilith Kaine. It is known across the Empire for its playful atmosphere and indulgent libations. Commander Tao has offered a one million-credit prize for the guest with the best toga. When asked about the toga party she commented, "It is an event that has the same spirit as the Imperial Ball but crazier!"

Imperial Security Bureau Stormtroopers are clad in the well-known and respected white armor of the Stormtrooper Corps, but are specially selected and trained for their loyalty to the Empire, as well as their ferocity and intelligence in combat. Acting under the direct command of the Imperial Security Bureau, they take on tasks that are of great importance to the security of the Empire.
  
Prefect Ralk'bun is heading the security team responsible for the safety of the guests. In an attempt to interview him regarding the safety and security of the guests, Prefect Ralk'bun had no comments. Security has been found to be on high alert encompassing transportation, accommodations, and cuisine. Due to the level of importance of the guests it has been decided that no media coverage outside of the control of the Empire be allowed. All in all the Imperial Ball is on schedule, the security is tight and the guests are eager for some rest and relaxation.

"These men are absolutely, 100% loyal to the Empire," Brigadier General Bianchi stated. "Frankly, if more people were like them, I might not have a job." When asked about the group's current whereabouts, Brigadier General Bianchi replied that it was "classified," however, "I can reveal that they have received great honors from myself and the Empire. I even offered them leave time, but they declined. They want to be back out there, defending the Empire."

Imperial Security Repels Pirate Attack

mikel_von_bianchi.jpg

CORUSCANT (INB) - The Imperial Security Bureau has today released information regarding the rumored pirate attack upon an Imperial transport several days ago. From the steps of the Imperial Palace, a COMPNOR spokesman confirmed the attack, but downplayed its significance to the safety of the Empire.

"Yes, I can confirm that an Imperial starship was attacked by pirates while returning to Coruscant several days ago," the spokesman announced, a slight grin appearing on his face. "However, I can proudly announce that at no time was the security of the Empire at risk. In fact, what appeared to this pirate group at first to be a simple unarmed freighter was, in reality, a heavily-armored troop transport carrying several squads of Security Bureau stormtroopers home to Coruscant following their previous assignment."

From reports received by INB through various channels and sources, this is the story we've been able to piece together: the pirates, believing the ship to be unarmed and carrying large amounts of valuable materials (due to a fake manifest submitted by Imperial authorities), attacked the Imperial transport while the ship was in sublight travel through a particularly treacherous expanse of space. The Bureau Stormtroopers onboard trained their weapons on the hull breach and accepted the surrender of the small band of pirates, all of whom reportedly froze in terror at the sight of the well-trained Imperial shock troops.

We managed to reach Brigadier General Mikel von Bianchi, the Imperial Security Bureau's Chief of Enforcement, in his downtown Coruscant office. When asked about the effectiveness of the Bureau's Stormtrooper detachment, he couldn't help but smile before answering, "These troopers are not only some of the Bureau's best, they are some of the best and most fearsome troops in the entire Empire. I would pity any who had to stare down the barrels of their rifles, had those persons not already chosen a deplorable life of crime."

Imperial Security Bureau Stormtroopers are clad in the well-known and respected white armor of the Stormtrooper Corps, but are specially selected and trained for their loyalty to the Empire, as well as their ferocity and intelligence in combat. Acting under the direct command of the Imperial Security Bureau, they take on tasks that are of great importance to the security of the Empire.

"These men are absolutely, 100% loyal to the Empire," Brigadier General Bianchi stated. "Frankly, if more people were like them, I might not have a job."
