Planet: Lok
Region: Aventine
Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
The Karthakk system is known as a pirate system among spacers - mostly thanks to the power the "pirate king" Nym wields on the system's habitable planet, Lok. The infrequent imperial patrols in the system barely dent the pirate population, or so it seems, so any ship travelling through or to the system is awell-advised to be escorted or well-armed - preferably both.
The "Crescent Raven" of Captain Ashen Katarna, an X-4 class medium freighter, is well armed, as it has proven several times during IMC convoys. So it was no surprise it was chartered by the Tatooine Trading Company for a delivery of asteroid ore to Aventine, Lok.
As expected - or feared - the ship was attacked by pirates almost right after reaching the system through the jump point Voria's Ember, but once again proved to be tougher than the pirates expected, clearing the way by force even in a small asteroid field, afterwads landing at Aventine's spaceport without further trouble, its crew taking a break in the local cantina while the cargo was unloaded.
