Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Two days ago the weekly IMC convoy transporting ore for the Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell System, was attacked by pirates in the Tatooine system. The convoy consisted of the YT-49 class "Lucky Silver" of Captain Benjam, Captain Britney's YT-2400 "Sugar Rush" and the YT-2400 "Teri Ynes" of Captain Bulthos Dorrir. Falcun Nix and Arzasaeth' flew escort.
The convoy was attacked shortly after leaving Tatooine's orbit by two raiders. Both escorts engaged, but could only buy the freighters some time until they were forced to eject. One raider was disabled inthe process, though the other pursued the "Sugar Rush" until the freighter managed to hyper.
The attack continued after the convoy had rallied later in the Corellia system, and this time the second raider was destroyed. The tenacity was unusual for a raider, but no other clues were found that could be indicating any other intent of the raider than piracy.
IMC shares rose 1% at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
