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

Last night pirates prowled the starlanes in the Naboo system again. The AEG-77 "Vigo"-class "The Crystal Mouf", a medium freighter, was attacked close to Naboo's orbit shortly after lift off from Kadara with a cargo of medical instruments and tools.

The pirate, flying an X-Wing, demanded the surrender of the cargo. Despite flying with a skeleton crew Captain Trini'dy refused, and engaged the raider. In the following fight the "Crystal Mouf" took some armor damage but managed to destroy the pirate ship before continuing its flight.

The following footage was recovered from the destroyed astromech of the pirate by the RSF investigators on this case and released to the press.



So far, the RSF declined to comment on questions regarding their apparent inability to effectively battle piracy in their system.
