Gunsen Sector Resistance forces marked their campaign of liberation today with a stunning defeat against Imperial forces. Recent activity in the Jundella system resulted in an attempt by the Imperial Navy to trap our courageous warriors by creating a target of opportunity that the Resistance couldn't resist. Reports indicate that the Resistance vessel Culverin and her famous Shadow Flight were dispatched to capture an Imperial supply convoy only to be met by no less than two Imperial Star Destroyers, as well as a new vessel which, at the time of this report, has yet to be identified either by type or name.

While outnumbered significantly, Shadow Flight plunged headlong into the fray, dealing the Imperial Navy its worst defeat to date. The battle was described as "the most ferocious fights" the fledgling resistance unti has engaged in. True to their reputation however, Shadow Flight fought through the gauntlet of no less than 144 enemy fighters and managed to escape while only suffering the loss of a single vessel and 2 brave crewmembers. At the time of this report, information concerning the lost vessel has been withheld due to the nature of the mission as well as to maintian operational security for all those involved. The citizens of Gunsen Sector will mourn the loss of these two souls while touting the bravery of their compatriots.

Confirmation of the engagement was released by Resistance Command through their Office of Public Affairs. Comments made by the Resistance spokesman indicate that out of 144 fighters launched by the Imperial vessels, less than 50 returned to their base ships. We have also received information indicating that one of the Imperial Star Destroyers suffered minor damage in the engagement.

All in all, this proves that through their steadfast bravery and nerves of steel, our brave warriors are up to any challenge. Through their gallant actions in the face of overwhelming numbers, they have time and again proven their mettle against those who try to oppress us. It is only a matter of time before the yoke of the Empire is cast off of our necks and the Gunsen Sector will once again stand as a beacon of freedom in an ever-dimming galaxy.

Congratulations to the all the members of the Resistance and in particular to the members of Shadow Flight and the crews that support them. Your service is an inspiration to us all.
