Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Because the regular IMC convoy had been delayed due to the injuries IMC manager Kimisei Bythmi had sustained in the raid on the IMC HQ an out of schedule cargo convoy had been sent from Tatooine to Ord Mantell three days ago. The TTC-Skaretan, a YT_2400 class light freighter, was escorted by a Vaksai piloted by Waefi Stromchaser and a TIE Bomber courtesy of the Imperial Navy.
The convoy made it to Naboo without difficulties but was attacked there by a YT-1300 "Dark Nexus" and another Vaksai. In the following fight Waefi's Vaksai was damaged while the pirates were struck back and the convoy continued to Ord Mantell.
However upon landing in the Nova Orion Station the crew of the TTC-Skaretan - and the escorting pilots were ambushed by pirates! While the imperial pilot was called away citing urgent duties the rest of the pilots and crew were attacked. Only Waefi Stromchaser managed to escape while the others were overpowered and the cargo stolen and the walls of the hangar defaced with the pirates' logo.
According to some reports this was claimed to be in revenge for earlier setbacks suffered by the pirates - the Shadow Nexus Pirates but no further details were given so far. An investigation into possible collaboration on the part of employes of Nova Orion Shipyards is also under way due to the suspicious circumstances regarding the incident. Insurance agents are said to be investigating the business of Mister Stromchaser as well, for rumors about his possible involvement with the pirates.
IMC shares fell 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
