IMC convoy under heavy attack

Date: 070508
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

After a number of trips without incidents, the latest IMC Convoy, transporting ship-grade aluminium from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Ord Mantell, came under attack by numerous raiders in the Naboo system last night.

Composed of veteran captain Ryian Coron in his YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud", who led the convoy, and Captain Rah in his decommissioned VT-49, which also carried an imperial inspector, the convoy was escorted by three ships. Upon entering the Naboo system, the convoy was getting shadowed by an unidentified small fighter, and soon afterwards numerous raiders attacked.

In the following battle, the VT-49 and one escort were disabled while five raiders, among them two ARC-170, a Vaksai and a Firespray, were destroyed in turn, allowing the disabled ships to be towed to Naboo Station, where they received repairs.
