Pirate activity lessened

Date: 220811
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 a period of heavy pirate attacks that crippled two convoys, pirate activity lessened somewhat, as recent surveys show. A week ago the IMC Convoy on the way from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Ord Mantell's Nova Orion Station encountered a lone pirate in an ARC-170 long range fighter in the Corellia system.

The convoy, Captain Benjam's "Lucky Silver" and Captain Britney's "Sugar Rush", engaged the pirate. Both escorts - Barrenger Fynar and Stlian Nix - were heavily damaged in the fight and required repairs, but the pirate was shot down. The cargo was safely delivered to Ord Mantell.

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