"Hand of Sorrow" faces pirate without escorts and wins

Date: 220410
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

Three days ago Captain Lia'ni flew her medium freighter "Hand of Sorrow", a modified "Vigo"-class, for the Intergalactic Mining Corporation with a cargo of copper from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion station in Ord Mantell. Falcun Nix and Batair Highlander served as primary gunners.

An escort from the 316th Regal Squadron was announced, but delayed by military neccessity, and so the "Hand of Sorrow" undertook the voyage by herself, hoping the last massacre of pirates at the hands of the pilots from the 316th would still serve as a lesson, and scare attackers off.

This was not the case, as it turned out - the ship was attacked in the Naboo system near Sea of Veruna by a pirate raider. Fortunately the crew managed to shoot the attacker down in a short fight, and reach Ord Mantell without further troubles.
