Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC)
Last night two freighters transporting ore for the Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Station in the Ord Mantell System. The "TTC-Tencilia" and the "Sugar Rush" of Captain Britney, both YT-2400 class light freighters, were flying without a dedicated escort, trusting their turret gunners to fend of pirates.
As it happened the convoy was about to hyper out of the Corellia system, their hyperdrives almost reset, when it was attacked by a Nova Courier without a valid IFF - a pirate. The bold raider was engaged and destroyed in a short firefight with simultaneous hits with torpedoes and cannon fire. Neither freighter was damaged in the battle and both continued to Ord Mantell without delay.
IMC shares rose 1% at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
