Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC.)
Six days ago the Intergalactic Mining Company sent two YT-2400 class light freighters, Captain Britney's "Sugar Rush" and the "CORT Everstar" of Captain Golrin Lightingstar with ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system. The two freighters lifted off without much trouble - some minor technical difficulties and internal disputes were reported from the crew of the "Everstar".
Upon entering the Corellia System though an unmarked and unidentified YT-1300 attacked both freighters, chasing them and damaging both extensively during a lengthy battle. If not for emergency and jury-rigged repairs both freighters would have been lost. As it is they managed to hyper out under fire and reach he Ord Mantell system battered, but with their cargo intact.
IMC shares rose 1 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news, though several analysts are expecting the company to have to spend more credits on escorts again in the next convoy.
