316th escorts "Peregrine"

Date: 020510
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

Six days ago the Intergalactic Mining Corporation hired the "Peregrine", the YT-2400 class light freighter of captain Ad'hemar Voltin, to transport their weekly shipment of ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion station in Ord Mantell. Stlian Nix and Batair Highlander served as primary gunners.

An escort from the 316th Starfighter Squadron provided protection from pirates - needed, as it turned out when an ARC-170 attacked near the hyperspace point Sea of Veruna. The TIE Hunter reported a weapon capacitor failure, but continued to escort the freighter to Ord Mantell.

Another pirate attacked in Ord Mantell, but was dispatched by ordnance and blaster fire before the freighter delivered the ore to the Nova Orion Station.
