IMC Freighter lost in Naboo

Date: 090309
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, the Intergalactic Mining Company's chartered freighter, the "TTC-Starchild", was was attacked while transporting ore from Tatooine to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell. Despite an escort that was scouting the attackers - three A-Wing starfighters - soon isolated the ship and disabled its engines.

As soon as the ship was disabled the raiders vectored a Y-8 ship in to take over the cargo. When the crew of the "TTC Starchild" performed emergency repairs on the shot up reactor and opened fire on the Y-8, the ship was blown up in response by the A-Wings. The crew was said to have donned vacuum-suits before this, and podded, but the exact circumstances are not known.



While usually pirates are behind such attacks the use of highly capable Hgh-speed A-Wing fighters led a few experts to suspect rebel involvement in this raid. So far, no other clues have been found to prove or disprove this suspicion though.

IMC shares fell 5 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange 5% following the news.

IMC Transport reaches Ord Mantell safely despite drunk captain!

Date: 090309
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, the Intergalactic Mining Company sent another transport from with an ore cargo - aluminium this time - from Tatooine to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell. As a few weeks before the ore eas transported by the Vigo-Class "Forlorn Hope", captained by Aenius Bosk.

The ship was escorted by an X-Wing strike fighter piloted by Chalbow. In the Naboo system it was attacked by an ARC_170 raider, which managed to disable the X-Wing but was shot down by the "Forlorn Hope"'s gunners.



From what is known though the rumors about Captain Bosk's alcohol problem were validated. Anonymous crew members were quoted with "I'd wear a vacuum suit 24/7 while on his ship, never know when he rams a station or asteroid looking for his bottle." This prompted an investigation by the RSF but so far nothing has come of it - yet.

IMC Stock rose 2 % following the transport.

IMC freighter beats pirates

Date: 020309
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, the Intergalactic Mining Company's chartered freighter, the "TTC-Starchild" was attacked while transporting ore from Tatooine to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell by an unidentified pirate YT-2400 in the Naboo system.



The freighters' escort, a KSE Firespray-class patrol ship piloted by Bawi Seida, was disabled in the fight but it had bought the TTC-Starchild and the second escort, a Y-Wing piloted by Ilofo, enough time to disptach the pirate raider with proton torpedoes. After repairs all three ships continued without further attacks to Ord Mantell.
