Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
After a few weeks of few piracy incidents, today's IMC convoy - led by Captain Ryain Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud", with the two vigo-class freighters "Vengeance" of Captain Aenius Bosk and "Crimson Eclipse" of Captain Drake, escorted by the Decimator-class patrol boat "Ruby" commanded by Pilot officer Ek'ieth - encountered a large pirate force. The four ships were attacked by two Vaksais, one ARC-170 and a Krayt Gunship during their stop-over in the Naboo system on the way from Tatooine to Ord Mantell. The pirates concentrated their fire on the "Vengeance", but the convoy closed ranks, all ships using blaster turrets and missiles to defend the freighter under attack. In the following fight, all four pirates were defeated or destroyed, among them most likely the ARC-120 that has attacked so stubbornly during the last two convoys. The "Vengeance" took armor damage but remained operational, and the entire convoy reached the Nova Orion Station with the cargo intact.
Here's footage from the battle:

*Axov sips his tea, reading the evening news* "Hmmph, RSF didn't defend it? I'll have to talk to Captain "Korvessi" bout' that...or have him court martialed. *Axov chuckles, and turns off the screen.*
