IMC Convoy under attack - escorts damaged

Date: 100608
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

A week ago, Naboo saw another pirate attack on the weekly IMC Convoy transporting ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Nova Orion Station, Ord Mantell. Fortunately, the convoy, led by Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud" and consisting of Captain Metuki's YT-1300 "Bad Company" and Captain Amillo's Nova Courier "Revenant Comet", was escorted by Traynu in a N-1 Starfighter as well as an imperial patrol in a TIE Agressor piloted by Qinllan.

A unidentified gunboat, a Y-Wing, an A-Wing and a dunelizard attacked in the Naboo system, leading to a drawn out battle during which both escorts got disabled after buying the convoy time to reform and take out the remaining gunboat. No freighter was lost, and only one freighter took light armor damage.

IMC stock rose 2.5 % as a result. Experts are not yet decided if the use of a heavy gunboat means that pirate raiders are having access to heavier ships, or an as of yet unknown party entered the sector.
