Freighters shot up, cargo lost, manager missing?

Date: 060907
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

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

The weekly convoy of the Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine to Coronet encountered serious difficulties in the Karthakk system. While details are still unclear, and IMC hasn’t released a statement yet, reports from Coronet indicate that the cargo did not arrive in the Corellia system.

IMC has not commented on the situation yet other than announcing that business will continue as usual, and the next convoy would get through safely. IMC manager Okowwi Emied, which handled the convoys, was not available for comment. In fact, unconfirmed reports claim that the sullustan has not been seen since the day of the convoy and is in fact missing. IMC did not comment on this either.

IMC shares fell 5% at the Coronet stock exchange.
