Imperial Fleet saves gas tanker "Mimban Explorer"

Date: 070210
Planet: Kiiliniri system (Yavin)

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

Last night the "Mimban Explorer", a Virella Systems Cargo Tanker, was carrying prothium blaster and leaving the BlasTech refinery at the Imperial controlled gas giant Kiilaniri in the southern Mid Rim of the galaxy near the Corellian Trade Spine when it came under attack by rebel raiders trying to hijack the ship and kidnap its crew.

The imperial forces stationed in the system responded at once though, starfighters and support craft out of the Escort Carrier "Terrup" and the Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser "Disorver" scrambling and making for the ship in distress at max speed.



Despite a large rebel force engaging in this act of piracy and fierce fighting the imperial ships remained victorious in the end, driving the rebels off and saving the "Mimban Explorer" as well as its crew. The rebels managed to steal some of the cargo, but took heavy losses in the process.
