Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
One week ago, IMC sent another IMC convoy out. After the troubles of the last convoys, this week's freighter, the YT-1300 "Whirling Dervish" of captain Daradyn, was escorted by a starfighter.
In the Naboo system, 2 TIE Bombers and a Khiraxz jumped the convoy while it was docked to the Naboo orbital station. The "Whirling Dervish" managed to escape at first while the escorting scyk was disabled, but the pirates gave chase, and stopped it soon afterwards. The escorting fighter managed to get emergency repairs, and rejoin the fight, taking out two pirates, but was shot down by the third.
The "Whirling Dervish" was boarded, and left, and managed to continue the trip, after jettisoning some cargo and getting repairs. What exactly happened on the freighter has not been detailed so far, but rumors claim it involved kowakian monkey lizards.
IMC management did not comment on the case, just stated that all contractual obligations towards their trading partners were fullfilled. IMC stock remained volatile.
