Omni-Tek Strikes a Blow to Smugglers.
July 30, 29485 - [Rimor]
Following months of intensive investigation and anti-smuggler operations by Omni-Tek, a raid was launched upon the main smuggler base known as Kabrink.
After directives from Omni-Prime had been received ordering a focus on the ever present smuggling network that was eating at the profits of the Corporation and therefore every loyal member of the Company, efforts had been placed in motion to both identify those involved, and locate their bases of operation.
Omni-Tek Armed Forces were involved in the location and tracking of the smugglers and their ships. These ships were being used in the transport of illegal or illicitly obtained goods as well as a large amount of illegally mined notum. After many months, this investigation led to the discovery of the main outpost in use by these criminals, which was identified as an asteroid they named Kabrink.
With the major raid hitting Kabrink, a few ships managed to escape the initial strike, only to find themselves running afoul of a number of alien ships that were apparently attracted to the area by the activity. A number of these ships were noted being shot down by a combination of the Armed Forces fleet and the aliens, who inadvertently ended up supporting the raid in progress by hindering the escape of these criminals.
Those ships that made planet fall where monitored by Omni-Tek and members of the corporation where dispatched to apprehend these criminals as well as protect them from the alien forces that followed them down.
Unfortunately due to the actions of some of Rubi-Ka's non corporate citizens getting in the way of the corporate protectors many of these ships did not manage to survive the alien assault. While Omni-Tek feel that it would have been better if the criminals had been able to be safely apprehended, the destruction of these ships and the deaths of the smugglers still prevents them further damaging the corporation and may deter further smugglers approaching Rubi-ka with the known risks.
