Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Three days ago, IMC sent another convoy carrying ore from Tatooine to Corellia, after the life day seasonal break was over. The three freighters – the TTC-Sunbeam, a YT-2400 class freighter piloted by K’yna Mont’yr, the “Liberty”, a YT-1300 class ship captained by Odev Kameuv, and a brand new YT-2400 freighter piloted by Afafan, were escorted by the “Princess”, an ARC-170 long range strike fighter crewed by Daradyn and his crew.
The convoy encountered no troubles in the Tatoo system, but was attacked in the Karthakk system by unidentified pirates. One pirate ship, a Dunelizard, was quickly shot down by the “Princess”, while the other pirate ship, a TIE Agressor with no markings, engaged the convoy for several minutes and managed to damage the “Princess” seriously before being destroyed by missiles and gun fire from the freighters. The damaged “Princess” was towed to the Trade Federation station, where it underwent repairs before the convoy set out for the last leg of its route, and arrived safely in on Corellia.
It is very unusual to see a recent imperial design in the hand of pirates, so the most likely explanation for this is that this was a deserter who took his ship and turned to piracy. The local sector command of the Imperial Navy did not comment on any missing TIE Agressor ships, declaring the information classified.
IMC stock went up 5% following this news.
