Freighter „Constitution“ goes missing during IMC convoy

Date: 150807
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

The fifth convoy carrying ore from the Intergalactic Mining Company to Corellia was run last night. Next to the experienced captains Ryian Coron in his „Spinning Cloud“ and Selenes Lightingdust in her „Entertainer Dream“, the Captain Wells in his YT-2400 class freighter „Constitution“ was a new addition. Due to the massive pirate activity last week, Captain Dacks was flying escort in his Vaksai fighter, and all ships were manned.

After passing through a check by an RID patrol craft, the convoy entered hyperspace at Deep Sea in Tatooine towards Lok, but the „Constitution“ never arrived at Nym’s Hovel, and was declared missing after attempts to contact her failed.

IMC spokesperson Okowwi Emied announced that there was a reward of 25'000 credits for information that would be crucial to clear the disappearance of the freighter up. From what is known, the course the ship plotted to enter hyperspace differed from those of the rest of the convoy, but the reasons for this are still unknown. No technical problems were reported, so speculations center on either crew incompetence or deliberate action.

Okowwi Emied was quoted that until other information came to light, the company assumed an accident happened and feared the worst for the safety of the crew and cargo.
