The convoy was attacked in the Corellia system by two pirates ain ARC-170s. During the fight one ARC was shot down but the other managed to crippled the "Iron hawk" and forced the crew to dump the cargo before they managed to shoot the fighter down. In the confusion of the recovery operation - Falcun Nix had suffered extensive injuries - the cargo was lost.
