Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Six days ago, IMC sent another ore cargo from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell. The freighter "TTC-Chrome Runner", chartered from the Tatooine Trading Corporation and escorted by pilot Chalbow in his KSE Firespray, set out from Tatooine's orbit without trouble.
However near Royal Way in Naboo an unmarked TIE Bomber attacked them. Since the IFF-transponder was not corresponding to standard Imperial models it was assumed and later confirmed as belonging to a deserter. In the short battle that ensued the raider was destroyed without either escort or freighter taking more than armor damage. A few droid fighters, left from the clone wars, tried attacking as well but were dispatched without delay.
Afterwards the convoy continued towards Ord Mantell. After the RSF started patrolling the system in a joint operation wth local forces the raider attacks that had beset the alst convoy there there had diminished and no further trouble was encountered.
IMC Stock rose 2% at the Coronet Stock Exchange.
