Pirate shot down in Naboo

Date: 201009
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 Convoy, this time consisting of Captain Falcun Nix' Nova Courier "Dae Nunt's Revenge", crewed by Nu'ro, Cosdassk and Ramona, and escorted by a TIE Oppressor from the Obsidian Dagger Squadron, set off from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, last night again.

The convoy reached the Naboo system without trouble through the Royal Way hyperspace jump point, but later got attacked near Sea of Veruna by an unidentfied heavy Scyk. The raider achieved surprise thanks to some miscommunication between the escort craft and the freighter over fire control but could not exploit the surprise and was shot down by the escorting TIE Oppressor after a short dogfight.



The "Dae Nunt's Revenge" reached the Nova Orion Station safely. According to unconfirmed rumors captain Falcun Nix was wounded in a barfight on the station shortly after arriving though the details are unclear so far and it's not known if that had any relation to the pirate attack.

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