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

Last week captain Dee'lin's YT-1300 "Phoenix" and captain See'la's YT-2400-class freighter "Kair Tol" transported ore for the Intergalactic Mining Corporation from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell again. Barrenger Vynar flew escort.

The convoy made good time into the Corellia system, where it suddenly was attacked by two pirate raiders. In the ensuing fight all ships of the convoy were heavily damaged and drifting. Thank to what was later determinded to be confusion among the pirates the crew of the "Phoenix" managed to destroy one raider and escape from the other. Since the "Phoenix" had dragged the raiders away from the "Kair Tol" and the "Krayt Dancer", which had been disabled earlier, those two ships were able to conduct emergency repairs and also escape. All ships reached the Nova Orion Station safely afterwards.
