Drunk captain on the bridge?

A week ago, the Intergalactic Mining Company shipped ore to Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell with the vigo-class medium freighter "Forlorn Hope" commanded by Captain Aenius Bosk. The ship was escorted by a Vaksai heavy fighter piloted by Ioman Drago, according to his own words the "fastest pilot in the galaxy".

During their stay in the Naboo system the two ships were attacked by pirate raiders flying a YT-1300 or 2400 as well as an X-Wing fighter. Drago attacked at once, and disptached both attackers during a short battle. The "Forlorn Hope" took frontal armor damage from the converted freighter that attacked it, but suffered no serious internal damage and made the jump to Ord Mantell without further incident.



This would not have been that extraordinary if not for the rumors that during the whole trip Captain Bosk was stone-drunk on the bridge, almost ramming a station as a result of this. While the rumors are not confirmed, system security in Ord Mantell is said to be investigating the matter.
