Project Lasercutter: This was a scheme undertaken by the Imperial, specifically orchestrated by the Inquisitorius. The goal of this operation was the apprehension of Alliance smugglers, with the intent of causing issues for Rebel resupply efforts. On Tatooine, they implemented a strategy that involved a spy who had infiltrated the Alliance. This informant provided intelligence concerning the locations of prominent smugglers. Through this method, they came very close to capturing Jaxa Lian, but their plans were disrupted by a spacer acting under the orders of Hantor Loftus, a Rebel operative in the area. Subsequently, the Rebels retaliated by killing their informant, Lidek Baws, along with several Imperial agents. Ultimately, the Inquisitor heading the entire operation also met their end on Tatooine.
