Another pirate attack - imperial deserter?

Date: 171011
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 convoy transporting ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system for the Intergalactic Mining Company was faced with an unusual situation. An imperial patrol boat volunteered to serve as a decoy in order to draw out pirates - and draw them away from the main freighters. The two freighters carrying the cargo - Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300-class "Spinning Cloud" and Captain Britney's "Sugar Rush", a YT-2400 - and their escorts - Barrenger Fynar and Falcun Nix - were happy to accept the offer.

The convoy entered the Corellia system at Talus Secta later, and was attacked by two pirates, one of the flying a TIE Oppressor - likely an imperial deserter. Despite their ambush both raiders were shot down by the freighters and escorts, who then continued to the Nova Orion Station in ord Mantell without further trouble.

IMC shares rose 1 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
