Report:Kreldin Estate Bombarded

Timo Droja, IGN Correspondant to the Empire, comes onto the Imperial networks with a special report. "In continuing coverage of the Kreldin Scandal this evening, we're being told that the Kreldin Estate on Corellia has been destroyed by an orbital bombardment."

A sky-borne image shows lances of well-targeted plasma streaking down from the sky over Coronet City, where they strike the spread of a large estate and begin decimating the grounds. "Imperial troopers cordoned off an entire kilometer of area surrounding the estate, before the bombardment began, to ensure no loss of innocent life. After approximately four minutes, the entire estate was turned into this."

The image shifts to show a wide area of nothing but slag, lying between the ocean and other, untouched properties of the wealthy nearby. "People across Corellia reported a blast of hot air that ran through the entire city during the bombardment, and a column of smoke that rose as far as the eye could see."

The image shifts in finality to Timo at his news desk, who bears a proud smile. "Imperial authorities are confident that no surrounding properties were damaged, but have also stated that damages will be covered in full by the Glorious Empire. With continuing coverage, I'm Timo Droja."
