Good Ship Ike gets through on IMC Convoy

Date: 120109
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

One week ago, IMC sent another convoy from Tatooine to Ord Mantell. Despite the recent setbacks, the company was not giving up. Surprisingly, the convoy consisted of a single freighter - but a massive one, a Y-8 class ship, the "Good ship Ike", commanded by Captain Starley. In response to multiple pirate attacks in the past, Captain Daradyn flew escort in his ARC-170, together with an X-Wing patrol ship.

While the Y-8 has a reputation as being very hard to fly in combat - many pilots call it a flying coffin - the "Good ship Ike" survived, in no small parts thanks to it escort, three different pirate attacks in the Naboo system before managing to safely land on the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell.

IMC stock rose 5% at the Coronet Stock Exchange in response to this news.
