Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Last night the Intergalactic Mining Corporation sent a cargo of enriched radioactive ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell system. The "TTC-Encilia", a YT-2400 chartered from the Tatooine Trading Company, was flown by Azraiel DeShade, escorted by Falcun Nix and Batair Highlander, both in interceptors. Tav'la, Nee'ki Starr and Ramona crewed on the freighter.
The Naboo system was passed without troubles, but upon entering the Ord Mantell System the convoy was beset by an unidentified Vigo-class Gunboat blocking the approach to the Nova Orion Station.
In the following battle Batair Highlander's interceptor suffered crippling damage while the TTC-Encilia was damaged so badly that both the engine and most of the cargo was lost before the ship received halp from the nearby station. Falcun Nix managed to drive the Vigo off, but in turn was shot down by other raiders.
Local authorities claim that there's no danger for the population of Ord Mantell from the radioactive ore lost in space.
IMC shares fell 2 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
