Ummm I'd like to point out the fact that the Postmaster was killed during an orbital bombardment by The Dark Whispers, and a report was filed that the Rebels had killed the Postmaster before the Dark Whispers was able to open any kind of talks for his release. "In the post office the council sat and waited, they knew well the Empire would not target its own building. The Artillery Lieutenant advanced upon the man lying on the floor, kicking him in the head, sending the postmaster's hat spinning across the floor, before being pulled back by a pair of town aldermen.

"Start a mass orbital bombardment. Also ready the Ion Cannons to fire on the approaching ships. I want it clear that Rebels caused this destruction, and that the Empire arrived too late to prevent it." The gunners nodded and understood the orders. Each of them aiming before they fired. Letting off a heavy salvo that began to bombard the entire area of the city below. Slamming into homes and buildings like as they tore through the city. As the last turbolaser blast fell, the ship then turned its attention to the two ships that had entered the system." - Captain
"Everyone in the post office died. The people standing behind the barricades died. From a farm on top of a hill close to New Coronet, the scene was watched. Hundreds of turbolaser blasts descended from the void and flattened the small town, every one of the 1,000 citizens who had not fled had been slaughtered in this horrific act of violence. Fire consumed the ruins. Later people would return and find little but molten soil, rock and the shadows of citizens, with a few burned bodies remaining in the outskirts, it stood as a testament to the disgusting atrocities the Empire would order committed. " - Thomas
"Thomas sat, the postmaster sitting tied to a chair opposite him. "You will record a video explaining our demands, and explain that if the Empire agrees to recognise our independence we will free you unharmed after three months." - Posted in Hunted
