Sugar Rush rushes through

Date: 241111
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.)

Four days ago the Intergalactic Mining Company hired Captain Britney's YT-2400 "Sugar Rush" to transport ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system. Contrary to recent convoys this time no escort was hired. Apparently IMC manager Kimisei Bythmi trusted the ships experienced captain and her two gunners to fend off any pirate attack.

The ship reached the Corellia System, where it was attacked by two unidentified fighters, a Vaksai and an X-Wing, shortly after arriving in system. The "Sugar Rush" engaged the fighters and managed to down both of them in a short engagement before continuing towards Ord Mantell. The freightar itself was not damaged during the fight, not even the pink paint was scratched (to the dismay of some other spacers, if one can believe the rumors on the station).



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