The bodies of 12 fugitives were found aboard their class 2 interceptor yesterday.  It is still uncertain what happened to the criminals but sources indicate that they were killed in what appears to be a botched boarding attempt. Of the 12 deceased  11 were wanted by the empire for pirate activities. The bodies of the victims show no signs of physical violence or struggle. Upon autopsy of one of the criminals it was discovered that there was severe brain trauma to at least 2 of the victims but doctors where stumped upon not finding any damage done to the skull of scalp of the victims. All sources are stumped but it is suspected that a biological weapon of somesort was involved, on account of lack of physical evidence. Although there are no known gasious or liquid properties that are capable of causing such effects scientist do not rule it out. The pirates ship was discovered near the outer rim planets and citizens of those planets are urged to keep an eye out for any vehicle that shows signs of forced boarding and to report any suspicious activities to there local Imperial supervisor.

Nothing was stolen or destroyed. There were no suspects found and no tracks left leaving imperials stumped as to how something like this could happen with no clues left behind. The empire has left a significant reward for any knowledge leading to the capture of the perpatrators.
