After the success of the "Good Ship Ike", pirate attacks were on the decline again - or so it seemed. A week ago, the "Bellerophon", a YT-2400 flown by Captain Fallthon, found out differently. The "Bellerophon" was escorted by the Decimator "ISS Grey Shadow" under captain Colvin' Harbid, and was jumped by a pirate ship at the Naboo Royal Way Hyperpoint.

The convoy sped to the Naboo Station, pursued by the pirate, and a lengthy battle took place around the station itself, during which both ships took severe damage. Fortunately, the crews managed emergency repairs, and succeeded in destroying the pirate craft. the following recordings were recovered from the wreckage:



Despite the damage taken, the "Bellerophon" reached Ord Mantell, although with reduced speed due to a damaged engine.
