IMC Convoy beats pirates back

Date: 011209
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

Last night the weekly ore convoy of the Intergalactic Mining Corporation from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system encountered pirates again. The freighetr carrying the ore, a YE-4 variant captained by Leaw, was escorted by a Ashen' Katarna in a Y-Wing Longprobe, Falcun Nix in an X-Wing and Ramona in a Scyk.



Shortly after reaching the Naboo system they were attacked by a Vaksai, which tore into the freighter despite its crew's fire from the turrets, and the escorts had some trouble stopping the attacker, but managed it before the freighetr was disabled. The freighter had taken considerable damage though, and one crew member - Tamar' Darkmist from the Red Bocatts - suffered burns helping the ship engineer Jenfre fixing a plasma leak.

The freighter continued into the Ord Mantell system, where the escorts covered the damaged freighter's docking, shooting down an attacking A-Wing in the process.

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