Selonian Dawn destroyed in crash!

Date: 190610
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Mos Eisley

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

Three days after the "Selonian Dawn" suffered from technical troubles during the IMC Convoy, disaster struck again.

Captain Alila Tisoni, owner of the freighter, had had the faulty nav computer replaced, but during the first test flight from Mos Eisley the Nova Courier class ship suddenly reversed course when it was leaving the atmosphere and headed straight for the planetary surface. As Captain Tisoni stated afterwards the nav computer had locked up. She was unable to override it and could barely use an escape pod in time before the ship crashed into the Dune Sea.

Fortunately no lifes were lost in this accident, but the "Selonian Dawn" was a total loss, pieces littering the landscape. The cause for the accident remains unclear up to date - possible explanations are faulty circuits or mistake done during the installation of the new unit.
