"Light Ray" reaches Ord Mantell safely - TIE Bomber escort lost

Date: 090310
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

After last week's disastrous convoy the Intergalactic Mining Corporation picked a single YT-1300 light freighter, Captain Sive'a Allande's "Light Ray", for this week's ore transport from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine to Nova Orion Station, Ord Mantell. The ship was escorted by Aesic in his Vaksai heavy Fighter, and a TIE Bomber.

Near the Old Trade Federation Route in the Naboo system the "Light Ray" was attacked by an old ARC-170 with scrambled IFF - a pirate. The two escorts engaged, but the Vaksai suffered armor damage and the TIE Bomber was destroyed and the pirate broke through to attack the freighter. Captain Allande's gunners, Batair Highlander and Nee'ki Starr, however managed to shoot the pirate down before the freighter's shields were breached.



Both the "Light Ray" and the Vaksai reached the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell safely afterwards.

IMC shares rose 1,5 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
