Pirates raid IMC Transport

Date: 180707
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

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

Intergalactic Mining Company spokesperson Okowwi Emied stated that the weekly transport that carried ore from Tatooine to Corellia had been intercepted by pirates in the Karthakk system.

According to the crew of the YT-1300 class freighter “Twilight Run” and the escorting “Caritas”, an ARC-170 fighter, a modified YT-1300 attacked them on the way to the refueling station, quickly disabling both ships and forcing them to jettison the cargo – valuable ship chassis-grade aluminium from a recently discovered vein on Tatooine.

The pirate captain was called “Daggor” according to witnesses, and his ship supposedly named “Mobeus”, but this is as of yet unconfirmed. IMC has placed a reward of 25’000 credits for information that leads to the capture of the pirates responsible for this raid.

Mister Emied also stated that for next week’s transport, IMC was looking to hire more ships, especially escorts. Interested pilots and crews can contact him at his office in Farpoint Valley.
