Pirate Attack in Ord Mantell

Date: 220609
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

Last week the Intergalactic Mining Company sent another freighter carrying ore from Tatooine to Ord Mantell. The freighter - the YT-2400 class TTC-Retribution - was escorted by a TIE Bomber, due to recent pirate attacks in the Naboo system. Contrary to expectations the trip through the Naboo system saw no pirate attacks, but upon arriving in the Ord Mantell system the freighter and escort were attacked by an ARC-170 without working IFF transponder - a pirate.



Fortuantely the pirate ship was quickly blown up by the escorting TE Bomber and the freighter arrived safely at the Nova Orion station, where the ore was delivered to the shipyard of the station.

IMC shares rose 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
