Pirate Ambush foiled!

Date: 271009
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

The weekly IMC ore transport from Tatooine to Ord Mantell last night consisted of Fish-Tec Industries'"Aluminum Falcon", a modified YT-1300, Captained by Zakor and piloted by Oblin, and escorted by Falcun Nix - of recent Tusken Trophy fame - in his X-Wing "Justice" and Ramona in her Scyk "Flo". Ichi Senshi and Senyka Darkeye crewed on the "Aluminum Falcon".

The convoy entered the Naboo System and flew around while the hyperdrives cooled without encountering any trouble when it suddenly received a grabled distress call. Suspicious because of the timing Falcun Nix proceeded to check on the distressed ship by himself while the "Aluminum Falcon" and "Flo" prepared to hyper out towards Ord Mantell.

When "Justice" reached the coordinates given - near an asteroid field - it was ambushed by two X-Wings. While a dogfight ensued the "Aluminum Falcun" hypered to the Ord Mantell system, where it landed safely on the Nova Orion Station.

Meanwhile Falcun Nix had succeeded in shooting down both pirate craft while taking armor damage to his ship himself. He managed to make it to the Nova Orion Station under his own power though, and his X-Wing underwent repairs there.

IMC shares rose 3 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
