Another Day, Another Hutt Victory

Deputy Rebel Leader Horak started things off this evening with a large and effective assault on the Hutts in the Wild Space. Unfortunately, the e-vile Empire led by Sith Lord Laban responded by immediately taking the sector back.  The Rebels continued with large, massed assaults, which produced prodigious casualties on all sides, wherever they attacked.  Strong Hutt defenses frustrated chances that the Ison Corridor would be taken by the Rebels. 

It began to look like the Empire was going to be able to finish off the Rebels as casualties mounted and reinforcements only trickled in.  However, without the Rebels pestering them, the Hutts were able take the offensive.  By sweeping up the few weak Rebel garrisons on resource planets and then cashing in faction cards for troops, the Hutts were able to snatch a victory away from the Storm Troopers.
