Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).
Faced with the rising frequency of pirate attacks the Empire has stepped up their patrols as well. Yesterday two TIEs from the Obsidian Dagger Squadron escorted the "Dae Nunt's Revenge", Falcun Nix' Nova Courier, which was transporting ore for the Intergalactic Mining Corporation, during its trip from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell.
The growing audacity of the pirate manifested itself in a bold attack on the convoy right when it started to leave Tatooine's orbit. One interceptor - a V-Wing - attacked and was engaged by the two escorts, managing to damage one before getting shot down. The damaged fighter was repaired at the orbital station - cut powerlines to the weapon systems were restored - and the convoy continued towards the Naboo system.
In the Naboo system, near Sea of Veruna, another pirate fighter attacked. While the freighter escaped the escports engaged it. Again one fighter took damage to its weappns systems but remained functional, shooting the raider down in the end. The ore was safely delivered to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell.
