Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Five days ago the weekly IMC Convoy carrying ore from Tatooine to the shipyard on the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system encountered one of the most dangerous pirate attacks in recent times. The three ships making up the convoy - Captain Ashren Tuleron with his YT-1300 "Outlaw's Fortune", Captain Trini'dy in her YT-1300 "Lawless Rogue", and the "ISS Defiant", a Decimator-class escort piloted by Commander Grodin' Tierce, were ambushed in the Naboo system by three pirate ships - an A-Wing, a Bellubab-22 and an old ARC-170.
In the following fight, both the "Lawless Rogue" and the "Defiant" were disabled while taking out the attacking Bellubab-22. The "Outlaw's Fortune" managed to gain some distance, destroying a pursuing ARC-170, and then returned to the ambush site where it shot down the A-Wing as it was in the process of robbing the "Defiant".
The following footage was taken from a recovered astromech of the ARC-170, showing part of the fight:
After repairs the convoy continued without further incidents to the Nova Orion Station. Commander Tierce announced that his ship would undergo a refit following this battle.
IMC stock reacted erratically to the information about the attack, ending up with a a final plus of 0,5 % at the Coronet Stock Exhange, with many investors concerned about future losses to pirates.
