Convoy under fire, but not stopped

Date: 050110
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

In response to last week's attack, and the recent attack on a luxury yacht in the Tatooine system, the Intergalactic Mining Corporation's weekly ore convoy last night was under heavy guard - two interceptors as well as a the Decimator-class ship "Shadow's Eye" of captain Yescek Shadowlight protected Captain Ad'hemar Voltins YT-2400 light freighter "Peregrine".

As it turned out that was a good decision - the convoy was attacked soon after entering the Naboo system, and while Jolson Kell's Interceptor managed to quickly destroy a first raider, a second raider, flying - of all ships - an older N-1 fighter - hit the convoy hard, all but crippling the "Shadow's Eye" in repeated strafing runs and damaging Ashen Katarna's V-Wing before finally being shot down.

IMC shares rose 1.5 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
