Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The weekly ore convoys from Tatooine to Ord Mantell are known to attract pirates, and are armed and escorted as a result of this. The publicity those attacks receive might have cuased other ships to assume a relative safety - despite pirates being known to go after such unlikely cargo as panties and cement. As the TTC-Shinging Nebula, a YT-2400, found out three days ago, booze is also sought by pirates - which is no surprise to those with knowledge of certain pirate bands...
The TTC-Shining Nebula had been chartered by the management of Jailbirds, Farpoint Valley, to deliver a cargo of various liquors and other drinks from Keren to Tatooine. With an ad-hoc crew and no escort, the ship obviously expected no danger even while travelling through the Karthakk system.
However, near Lok the freighter was attacked by two pirates, first by a KSE Firespray, and then by an older Y-Wing. Fortunately, the crew had no sampled the cargo, and was on the ball, shooting down both attackers without taking more than some armor damage, and the ship made it to Tatooine without further troubles.
The customers of Jailbirds can rest assured that the club's bar remains well-stocked.
