AEG-77 crashes north of Farpoint Valley

Date: 251111
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)

Last night the traffic control of Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, received a distress call of the AEG-77 class medium freighter "Ebony Blade", captained by Barrenger Fynar. The ship had suffered engine and power failure during it's landing approach, after a fire had broken out on board.



A rescue team was formed from local volunteers and headed to the point north of the town where the Ebony Blade was hovering with the help of a Nova Courier piloted by Falcun Nix. Shortly after the team arrived the Ebony Blade's repulsorlifts gave out and it set on the ground, pushing the Nova Courier into the closest dune as well.



The team then boarded the ship and started battling the fire and jury-rigging repairs to save it. After two hours the last of the fires was extinguished and the ship's system had been repaired to the point of it being able to reach Mos Entha, where it will be full repaired in the days to come.

The operation claimed one wounded and a damaged astromech among the rescue team as well as several droids attached to the ship - some of them were apparently used for spare parts for the systems.
