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

After last week's pirate attack, which was foiled in extremis, this week the Intergalactic Mining Corporation once again hired fighter escorts for their transports. The ore this week was transported by Captain Sive'a in her YT-1300-class light freighter "Light Ray", captain Athmis Thewix in his Nova Courier "Fleet of Foot", and Tav'la in his unnamed YT-2400. Pilots Racacowlur and Tomeateeje Sunb served as escorts.

The convoy made the jump from Deep Sea in the Tatooine system to Royal Way in the naboo system, where it started to fly through the old Trade Federation route to Sea of Veruna. On the way it was attacked by a Nova Courier and a TIE Fighter.



The Nova Courier was shot down quickly by the escorts, but the TIE Fighter - likely modified with other parts - damaged both the "Light Ray" as well as Tav'la's YT-2400 and their escorts before getting shot down.

After repairs the three freighters and the two escorts reached the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell without further delays though some pirates took potshots at the freighters as they landed.

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