Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Usually, the weekly IMC Convoy from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Nova Orion Station, Ord Mantell, has a number of escorting starfighters to fend off pirate attacks. Yesterday, this was not the case, and the three YT-1300 freighters undertaking the trip - Captain Metuki Ryuuj in his YT-1300 "Bad Company" led Captain Auros Drayen's YT-2400 "It's Irrelevant" and Captain Etyneo's "Lone Wolf", another YT-1300 class light freighter - had to fly without escorting snubfighters, trusting their gunners for protection.
Shortly after arriving at Penumbra Omen in the Naboo system, an unidentified X-Wing started to shadow the convoy, then demanded the surrender of the cargo. The convoy sped up, and when the X-Wing gave chase it was shot down by turret fire from the "Lone Wolf", which formed the rearguard of the convoy. Another suspected raider, a Vaksai heavy fighter, started to hound the convoy soon afterwards, and not even a trip through a Nebula and past an asteroid field could shake it off. However, when the pirate started an attack run on the freighters when those were preparing to enter hyperspace, it was shot down by the "Lone Wolf" before doing any damage to the ships.
The ships arrived safely at the Nova Orion station soon afterwards. IMC shares rose 1.5 % at the Corellia Stock Exchange.
