Pirates take revenge on convoy

Date: 211110
Planet: Tatooine/Corellia System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

Last week the "Night Hawk", Captain Ironhide's YT-2400 light freighter, once again made the trip from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell carrying ore for the Intergalactic Mining Company. The freighter was crewed by Inaera Kell, Ramona and Batair Highlander and escorted by Ahl-Vinn, Barrenger Fynar, Falcun Nix and Verene.

Shortly after leaving Tatooine's orbit the convoy got attacked by three pirate ships. Despite the surprise attack all three ships were shot down while one escort was lost.



The convoy reached Nova Orion without further incident, but after delivering the cargo the crew and pilots were attacked in the local cantina by a vengeful pirate with heavy weapons. Outgunned the spacers barely made their escape from the station - only to find themselves pursued by an advanced X-Wing. Only after a lengthy chase through several system was the raider finally shot down.

The "Night Hawk" returned to Farpoint Valley for repairs and the crew relaxed in the Rusty Bucket Saloon.

IMC's stock went up 1% at the Coronet Stock Exchange, after a volatile trading day.
