Technical problems do not stop convoy

Date: 131007
Planet: Tatooine/Corellia System
Region: Farpoint Valley

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

The weekly convoys of the Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine to Coronet, Corellia, saw a lot of pirate attacks in the past. As a reaction, IMC has stepped up security. This week’s convoy was escorted by two ships from the Imperial Navy as well as a freelancer in an Incom T-65 “X-Wing”.

Under their cover, the freighter in the convoy - the YT-1300 class freighter "Corellia's Sun", a CorSec ship captained by Jascyn Siltar, together with the YT-1300 class "Exodus", flown by Wint Risden – made the trip through the pirate-infested Karthakk system without any trouble.

However, upon reaching the Corellia system, the “Exodus” suffered a communication failure, caused as far as is known by a collision with a smaller asteroid. Fearing a possible hijack, the “Corellia’s Sun” was sent ahead while the “Exodus” was guarded. The “Corellia’s Sun” landed safely at Coronet Starport, shortly afterwards followed by the “Exodus” after the problem was solved

IMC rose 7 % at the Coronet stock exchange.
