Planet: Karthakk and Ord Mantell system
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Imperial Secor Fleet announced today that last night, the YE-4 Gunboat class "Onyx Mauler", commanded by captain Quinllan from the famous Onyx Squadron, together with several starfighters from the fleet, intercepted a spice smuggling "Vigo" class converted freighter.
The as if yet unidentified ship was detected in the Karthakk system and when commed to stop and prepare for a search, made an attempt to escape the inspection. The ships in the vicinity converged on it, trying to disable its engines. Despite the freighter - which turned out to sport several high-powered turrets, most likely an illegal modification - taking severe and internal damage, it managed to enter hyperspace while under fire.
Fortunately, the "Onyx Mauler" had matched its speed, and calculated the likely route, and pursued immediately, managing to stop the fleeing suspected smuggler close to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell, where the "Onyx Mauler"'s guns disabled the smuggler's engines. At this point, the crew of the Vigo abandoned ship, using several escape pods, before the Vigo blew up, disrupting capture operations.
From a spectral analysis of the debris, the cargo was later identified as illegal spice. The crew of the "Onyx Mauler" decided against an investigation of the nearby Nova Orion Station due to lack of ground support personell.
