Tenacious Pirates beaten back

Date: 120110
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

Three days ago the Intergalactic Mining Corporation sent another cargo of ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell. The ore was transported by Captain Falcun Nix' Nova Courier "Dae Nunt's Revenge", escorted by Ashen Katarna's V-Wing, an exiled twi'lek's Dunelizard and two TIE escorts.

One TIE had to leave the convoy at the hyperspace point "Miner Yards", but the rest continued to the Naboo system. There the convoy got attacked by an ARC-170, a TIE Advanced and an A-Wing. In the fight both the Dunelizard and the V-Wing, which had developped technical malfunctions, were disabled as was the freighter, but the remaining TIE Fighter managed to shoot down the last attacker. The "Dae Nunt's Revenge"'s crew managed to jury-rig emergency repairs and after a stop at the Rori station the freighter safely reached Ord Mantell, where it landed on the Nova Orion Station.

The following recording has been recovered from the remains of the astromech of the ARC-170:



According to some reports there was a knife fight on the Nova Orion Station during which Captain Nix got injured but no further information concerning this known.

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