Riot on Sandworld over RP arrests

A riot has broken out at one of the major oil facilities on Sand World, the main fuel provider of the Clone Star Empire, after the Religious Police arrested a number of workers for reported heresy. The riot resulted in damage to the facility which will be out of action for a number of weeks. This will be a notable blow to the empire, the facility alone provides 3% of the CSE's fuel production.

The riot is said to have been instigated by Clone Army personnel based at the facility as it's security team. Relations between the RP and Army have become fractious over the last year.
