Technical and Pirate Trouble

Date: 150810
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Corellia System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

The weekly cargo convoy tranporting ore for the Intergalactic Mining Corporation from Tatooine to Ord mantell suffered another technical mishap six days ago. Alila Tisoni launched her YT-2400 "Corellia Star", only to discover the ship's hyperdrive was malfunctioning, forcing her to land again. This was quite a setback - the ship had already suffered a malfunction two weeks ago, and had been undergone a thorough check-up at the CEC yards following this.

As it turned out the hyperdrive troubles were too serious to be solved quickly enough to still make the convoy, leaving the "Shiny", a light freighter captained by Waefi Stromchaser and crewed by Glug and Ruff-Ruff, to carry the ore, escotred by two Bellubab-22s, piloted by Giina and Barrenger Fynar, one heavy X-Wing flown by Falcun Nix and a Scyk flown by Ramona.

The convoy was attacked by two pirates in the Naboo system. Barrenger's fighter was heavily damaged and Falcun Nix went missing after his X-Wing was all but vaporized, but the "Shiny" managed to shoot down the remaining pirate and deliver the cargo to the Nova Orion Shipyards in Ord Mantell.

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