Cadet Davis                                The Breakout at Coruscant

        An alert came from the prison at Coruscant regarding a multi-prisoner breakout at the establishment. Reportedly, multiple inmates would meet in the exercise yard and discuss something unbeknownst to the guards. What was eventually found out was that the inmates were discussing plans to stage an escape by using shear force to overrun the guards during mess hours (dinner time). The mess hall was where the largest amount of prisoners could be in one place with few guards. The ringleaders convinced other inmates to attack the guards once 4 other inmates distracted them. The plan was carried out late into their meal (mostly likely because it would be dark out to cover their escape).
         80 inmates overran 12 guards (including the warden) to obtain their weapons and an ID wristband. 8 out of the 12 guards were dead while the other 4 were unconscious. 8 prisoners died initially from blaster fire. Once the inmates realized there wouldn’t be enough time to free the other inmates, they booked it. As they attempted to move through the corridors, they were met with 30 Riot Control guards and ran for the nearest exit. The warden’s ID card allowed only for 12 people to get through the emergency exit hatch (base amount for a platoon of guards to escape in an emergency). 60 Prisoners were still stuck inside and either shot or captured by the riot control. Of the 12 people that made it out, 4 were shot by snipers while the remaining 8 escaped under cover of darkness and are still at large by the Republic.
