Lockdown
Tandell System, INB - The Imperial Navy and the Dolomar Sector Government has recently struck a blow against illegal construction and tax evasion in the Mid Rim under the guidance of both the New Republic and Falleen Federation Governments, with additional support from Rogue Squadron, as they conducted 'Operation Eternal Fields'. Using Interdictor Star Cruisers, the Imperial navy has blockaded the system and is currently conducting searches of vessels in the area to ensure the safety of all Imperial citizens in the system and to ensure order can be restored to a system poisoned by the slippery words and cruel actions of rebel forces.
Months before Operation Eternal Fields commenced, Imperial Intelligence, working with the Imperial Ministry of Finance, began noticing that the tax income from the Tandell system had ceased and that the required diplomatic packets sent each month to the sector's Moff, Tanez Kalrade, had become heavily delayed. Ever vigilant against rebel activity in the new Imperial sector, an Imperial Taskforce was sent to the system to locate the source of the disturbances. The Taskforce returned to the Dolomar Sector Government and reported how a fleet of motley cargo ships belonging to the New Republic and the Falleen Federation had begun illegal construction in the system and that the new self-proclaimed 'governments' had taken measures to encourage smuggling, illegal gambling, and other activities not condoned by Imperial Law.
The Dolomar Sector Government leapt immediately into action, working closely with the Imperial Navy to plan an operation that would freeze all of the detestable activity occurring in Tandell. In short order, a plan had been cooked up and the 1st Imperial Fleet, under the command of Captain Kato Forn, scrambled into action, ready to lead the task force on the order-restoration mission.

Early on the morning of Year 11 Day 13 a fleet consisting of Interdictor Star Cruisers and Imperial-Class Star Destroyers emerged from Hyperspace in the Tandell system. Within mere hours the entire system had been covered in artificial gravity fields, disallowing traffic to enter or exit the system unless authorized by Imperial law. The Imperial fleet found the system looking just as Imperial Intelligence had reported - full of rebels, smugglers and illegalities.
As the crews of the Interdictor cruisers kept the system locked down, the Imperial-class Star Destroyers, their hangers full of fighters and boarding craft, began checking and logging all ships in the system against the Imperial Ship Identification Database (ISIDD). The massive database stores scans and information regarding more than 30 billion separate vessels in the known Galaxy. Any vessel not found in the database is immediately registered, searched by Imperial Boarding teams and the owner fined an amount specified by Imperial Law for failing to register properly.
It is a testament to the talented individuals that compose the Imperial Navy and the Empire that operations such as Eternal Fields can be conducted and accomplished to the highest standards possible. These high maintained standards allow the Navy to use the exclusivity and power of the Navy's Interdictor Star Cruiser Fleet to its maximum potential. By blocking their escape, Imperial forces are guaranteed the time they need to get any and all results they need; a true testament to the Commanders' strategic abilities.
Even in the middle of an operation such as this, Captain Kato Forn was able to speak with an INB correspondent briefly regarding the operation - "This is the ultimate test for our Interdictor fleet and the results are no fraction less than our expectations. It adds a completely new dimension to warfare." When pressed about how long the fleet might stay in-system, the Captain simply chuckled with a slight smile - 'Classified.'
The Imperial News Bureau will continue to keep all loyal Imperial citizens up to date on the events occurring in this ongoing operation and system lockdown.
