Pirates attack convoy at Corellia's Own

Date: 120911
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 week the ore cargo convoy sent by the Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Ord Mantell's Nova Orion Station came under attack by pirates again. The convoy was led by Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud", followed by Captain Benjam Frails "Lucky Silver", Captain Britney's "Sugar Rush" and the Y-8 class "Last Call" of Captain Bulthos Dorrir. Two imperial fighters flew escort.

The convoy was attacked in the Corellia systme, near the "Corellia's Own" hyperspace point. The attackers - one scyk and one ARC-170 - managed to disable the "Last Call" and one TIE, but were both shot down during the fight. After repairs all ships continued towards Ord Mantell.

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