"In Tantibus Milia Ducuntur" Posted by: Mikel von Bianchi - Faction: Galactic Empire 'Date: Year 16 Day 212 Onboard the Lucrehulk 3210 Battleship Indomitable in system Dromund (293, 321). BYSS (INB) - Officials with the Galactic Empire today confirmed a security breach and terrorist attack on the Deep Core planet of Byss, sanctuary homeworld of the Abyssin species, by the radical group known as Holowan. "I can confirm that terrorists connected to the Holowan organization have conducted an attack on the planet Byss, taking captive a large number of native Abyssins from their nearby jobs and homes," a spokesman for the Office of the Moff stated to gathered reporters earlier today. "We have received reports from dozens of local communities who have had mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters all ripped from their beds and led blindfolded from their homes, away from loved ones, and into the cargo holds of Holowan military vessels." Unconfirmed reports coming out of Imperial Intelligence suggest that Holowan will hold the Abyssins isolated in confinement camps while being subjected to aggressive brainwashing programs. Byss is notable for the dichotomy of its terrain, varying from sweeping grassland savannas to harsh volcanic expanses, the latter having impeded management of the comprehensive protective shield network around the planet due to unusually harsh environmental elements. The spokesman continued, "Our office is devastated by this news, as we hold the Abyssin people in the highest regard. Although traditionally a violent species, under Imperial guidance they developed a peaceful and productive modern society. Many Abyssin families are gainfully employed in the Empire's mining industries, and Imperial anatomical science owes a great debt to the Abyssin people, excel as they do as pre-postmortem test subjects. We find the reports that Holowan plans to force these captives to participate as slave infantry in their terroristic militia sickening. Particularly heinous is the use of Abyssin youth as child soldiers in the army of the Holowan Lord, but we will not be menaced into denying the Abyssin people all due liberties, including free travel on and off their own planet."
