404.28 // Hostage situation over Tepasi
Following a long and thorough investigation, GRID operatives managed to intercept a long missing tibanna freighter under the callsign “Andromos”.
According to anonymous sources, the opposing crew was led by former operative Weyland A., previously presumed killed in action by GRID officials.
During the assault (in which both GRID and Republic forces were present), they managed to capture the core conspirators, arresting at least thirty suspects. However at least ten law enforcement officers were killed in the firefight on board, including several hostages among the casualties caught in the crossfire. The identification of the victims is still ongoing.
We tried to reach GRID headquarters for an official announcement but they refused to comment the situation.
