Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Six days ago the Intergalactic Mining Company, facing increasing pressure from pirates and stock holders alike, hired three escort fighters for its weekly convoy transporting ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system. Falcun Nix, Ilenia and Barrenger Fynar were escorting Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300-class "Spinning Cloud" and Captain Britney's YT-2400 "Sugar Rush".
As it turned out the escort number was barely adequate. The convoy came under attack by four pirate ships - a Vaksai, a B-Wing and two "Scurrg" class fighter/bombers - in the Corellia system, and all three escorts were shot down or disabled in the fight that ensued before the last pirates weredestroyed by the turret gunners of both freighters. After two of the drifting fighters had been repaired the convoy continued without further trouble to the Ord Mantell system.
IMC shares rose 1 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
