Ore cargo reaches Ord Mantell - one escort lost

Date: 260109
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

A week ago, another freighter was sent by the Intergalactic Mining Company from Tatooine to Ord Mantell. This time it was the "TTC-Chrome Runner", a YT-2400 chartered from the Tatooine Trading Corporation and protected by an Incom T-60 "X-Wing".

After their arrival in the Naboo System at the hyperspace jump point "Penumbra Omen" the two ships were attacked by an unidentified M-22 "Krayt" gunship. The probable pirate was dispatched in a short exchange of blaster fire by the TTC-Chrome Runner and the freight trip was continued to Ord Mantell.

There however the convoy was beset by numerous pirates, and the escorting X-Wing suffered critical damage, requiring extensive repairs at the station. The freighter managed to dock safely without taking damage.

IMC Stock rose 2% following these events.
