IMC Convoy struck by technical troubles and pirates

Date: 290811
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.)

A week ago the Intergalactic Mining COmpany sent another Convoy transporting ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Ord Mantell's Nova Orion Station. The convoy was made up of four ships originally - Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud", Captain Benjam's Decimator-class "Lucky Silver", Captain Britney's YT-2400 "Sugar Rush" and Catpain Dee'lin Sarlo's YT-1300 "Phoenix". The "Phoenix" suffered from persistent engine troubles however and had to drop out before the convoy left Tatooine's orbit.

The three remaining ships were attacked in the Corellia system by a "Scurrg" fighter/bomber and an ARC-170 long range recon ship, but both ships were shot down by the freighters' turrets before doing much damage. The cargo was safely delivered to Ord Mantell.

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