Pondut

Pondut was a a research station for the Galactic Electronics company in the Corperate Sector. The station devoloped the Mag-Pulse warhead, which had the ability to temporarily knock-out the weapons sytems on an enemy craft. They found it useful to sell it to the Rebel Alliance. There was an Imperial law banning the sale of such weapons, however, since the Corperate Sector was nutural in the war, they could easily by pass this law. The Rebels used the Mag-Pulse in a raid on an Imperial Research Station. The station security forces captured a Rebel B-Wing using the warhead, and traced it back to the Corperate Sector, Galactic Electronics, and more specifically, research station Pondut. Grand Admiral Zaarin was sent to capture Pondut, and freeze Galactic Electronic's assets. This would mean entering nutral Corperate Sector teritory,but the deed was still done. Zaarin, being a technocrat and planing a coup against the Emperor, was "infrantic about capturing everybody!" according to an Assault Gunboat pilot in the battle. Pondut was captured with all personel accounted for. It is needless to say the Imperial- Corperate Sector relations were at an all time low after the skirmish at Pondut.
