"Outlaw's Justice" lost to pirate attack

Date: 090510
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 sent another freighter on the trip to the Nova Orion Shipyards in Ord Mantell, carrying steel from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine. Captain Inaera Kell, an experienced spacer, flew her YT-2400 "Outlaw's Justice", recently upgraded.



In the Naboo system the ship got jumped by an unidentified YT-2400 and an equally unmarked Rhikxyrk heavy fighter. Despite a daring maneuver the "Outlaw's Justice" got shot up in the following fight. The damages were so serious that the crew had to use an escape pod and the cargo was destroyed along with the cargo bay.

The attackers were not using transponders but some clues hint at them being pirates in the employ of the Hutts.

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