"Light Ray" and "Phoenix" make the trip despite pirates

Date: 230310
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

Yesterday the Intergalactic Mining Corporation sent two more freighters for their weekly ore convoy from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine to Nova Orion Station, Ord Mantell. By coincidence both were YT-1300 class ships, and both were piloted by twi'lek women - Captain Sive'a Allande's YT-1300 "Light Ray" and Captain Dee'lin Sorla's "Phoenix". The two freighetrs were escorted by a TIE-Bomber during their trip, in anticipation of pirate attacks.

Shortly after reaching the Naboo system the expected attacks did happen when a Vaksai heavy fighter followed by an ARC-170 recon craft attacked the freighters. Both raiders were shot down quickly though by the ships' gunners - Batair Highlander, Kort, Ramona and Aesic - and the escort, after causing armor damage.



After the fight all three ships safely reached the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell, where the TIE Bomber departed for areas unknown and the convoy underwent needed repairs and repainting.

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