Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
One week ago, the Imperial Navy sent a task force to sweep through the Karthakk system, clearing hyperspace jumppoints, asteroid belts and even Lok’s orbit from pirate and rebel craft in an effort to wipe out pirate activity in the system. Despite determinded resistance, the task force cleared the system and took temporary control of the planet’s orbit.
Two days later, the weekly convoy of the Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine to Coronet reported no trouble in the Karthakk system, although there were reports of fighting near the convoy between unidentified ships. The convoy itself reached Coronet without any trouble.
It is not clear, however, if the pirates in the system were completely destroyed in the Imperial operation or if they are just laying low for a bit, until the attention of the navy is switched to another trouble zone.
IMC shares rose 1% at the Coronet stock exchange. According to analysts, the market is not yet convinced that piracy has become a non-factor fort he cargo business.
