IMC Convoy struck hard by pirates

Date: 310511
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)

Last night the Intergalactic Mining Company sent Captain Britney's YT-2400 class light freighter "Sugar Rush" with a cargo of copper from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Shipyards in the Ord Mantell System. Falcun Nix, Nellari Hoefi and Ahl-Vinn served as escorts.

The convoy reached the Corellia system without incident, but while waiting for the hyperdrives to recharge it was jumped by two pirate ships at the hyperspace jump point "Corellia's Own". All three escorts were lost in the following battle, disabled or shot down, until the "Sugar Rush" was on its own. Despite new gunners - Ozralyyk and Stal Cath - both attackers were shot down and the escort pilots recovered. The freighter safely reached Ord Mantell afterwards.

The following records were taken from the remains of an Astromech found in the debris of one pirate:



IMC shares rose 1% at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
