Pirate ambush at Corellia's Own

Date: 101011
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 Intergalactic Mining Company sent two light freighters out to ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to Ord Mantell's Nova Orion Station. The two freighters - Captain Ryian Coron's YT-1300-class "Spinning Cloud" and Captain Britney's "Sugar Rush", a YT-2400, were escorted by Barrenger Fynar and Falcun Nix.

After reaching the Corellia System at the hyperspace jump point "Corellia's Own", two unidentified ships, and ARC-170 and a scrugg, attacked right when the convoy was hypering in. The scrugg chased the "Spinning Cloud" and was shot down by the gunners while the ARC-170 engaged the rest of the convoy, disabling one escort before getting destroyed. Afterwards all ships continued to the Nova Orion Station in ord Mantell without further trouble.

IMC shares rose 1,5 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
