Intergalactic Mining Company spokesperson Okowwi Emied announced today that last night, the weekly ore transport from IMC safely reached Coronet, Corellia. The two transports, YT-1300 class freighters “Recreant Sun” under Captain Amillo and “Spinning Cloud” captained by Ryian Coron, with Fiwa as a single escort, set out from Farpoint Valley, and reached Corellia without reporting any trouble.
Asked why they succeeded where others failed, Captain Coron gave the following statement:
"We got some little helpers. The government may call them "terrorists", but since it seems like the gentlemen of the Imperial navy can't be bothered to do anything about the spreading pirate plague, I am glad there is someone out there who cares about us civilians. Makes you wonder really."
IMC stated that they had no knowledge of any such involvement, and that IMC had not hired any escorts other than Fiwa. The IMC board is said to be currently debating whether or not to pay out the bounties for the six pirates shot down under those circumstances.
The commander of the sector fleet of the Empire announced that there would be an investigation of this transport, with a focus on possible conspiracies between recent “escorts” and earlier “pirate attacks”.
IMC stock rose 5% following the successful transport, but fell again following the news that the Empire would look into this affair.
