"Crescent Raven" shoots down another pirate

Date: 150909
Planet: Tatoo System/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

As it does every week last night IMC once again sent a cargo of valuable ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system. The ore was transported by Captain Ashen Katarna's X-4 class medium freighter "Crescent Raven", which was escorted by pilots Jonoi and Ramona in their fighters and crewed by Clarisa Wrenchturner, Tal'Shiva, Falcun Nix and Silenas Nex, who also acted as imperial liason.

The convoy first encountered troubles when it entered the Naboo system at the Royal Way hyperspace jump point where an unidentified Vaksai made a scouting pass. Jonoi pursued the suspect ship with his X-Wing while Ramona stayed with the "Crescent Raven". Jonoi soon was involved in a dogfight. He managed to shoot the Vaksai down, but was disabled in turn by another Vaksai.



Soon afterwards that Vaksai found the freighter and attacked with a ferocity typical for pirates. Though between the wall of fire put up by the X-4's gunners and the fire from the escorting Scyk the Vaksai was ultimately caught and shot down even though it managed to land several shots. After picking up Jonoi the convoy continued to Ord Mantell without delay.

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