IMC Convoy reaches Nova Orion Station on schedule

Date: 180511
Planet: Tatooine/Corellia System/Ord Mantell System
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

After the computer troubles that neccessitated a rescheduling of the weekly convoys, the Intergalactic Mining Company sent two YT-2400 class frighters with ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell last night. Britney's pink "Sugar Rush" and See'la Tualin's "Kairn Tol" were escorted by Kentt' in his ARC-170.

The convoy encountered technical troubles on the way early on - the "Sugar Rush" suffered a hyperdrive failure and was delayed some - and the ships were jumped by a pirate raider almost at once after they entered the Corellia system. The raider managed to cripple the escorting fighter but was shot down by the "Kairn Tol". After helping Kentt' with repairs the convoy reached the Ord Mantell system safely.



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