Tenacious pirate pursues freighter

Date: 090908
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

The Galactic Civil war is making life harder for everyone as more and more money is spent on the war. Those who do not have anything are often driven to desperate measures by it. At least this might be the reason for what happened during the last IMC cargo convoy a week ago.

Captain Aenius Bosk's Vigo-class freighter "Vengeance" had been in Naboo for some time, recharging its hyperdrive on the way to Ord Mantell, when it was jumped near Rori space station by a lone ARC-170. The pirate kept attacking the freighter, despite serious damage taken by the freighter's turrets, and even followed the ship to Ord mantell, trying to prevent the freighter from docking to the Nova Orion Station, finally relenting when the "Vengeance" reached the hangar.

Other sources claim the attacker was on spice, or suffering from some mental instability. No matter its reasons, the pirate did not manage to stop the cargo from getting delivered. IMC's stock rose 2% following those news.

The following footage was recovered from an astro droid that was blown off the pirate in Ord Mantell:
