Three YT-2400 reach Ord Mantell despite pirate attacks and technical troubles

Date: 131211
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 night the three YT-2400 light freighters "Sugar Rush", piloted by Captain Britney', "Rampageous Rochry", piloted by Captain Kavilap Rochry, and Captain See'la Tualin's "Kairn Tol" were sent by the Intergalactic Mining Company from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion shipyards in the Ord Mantell system with a heavy cargo of ore.

The convoy arrived at the Binayre Razorcat jump point in the Corellia System, where it was attacked by a Scurrg fighter/bomber almost at once. The "Rampageous Rochry" suffered armor damage in the following fight, but no internal damage, until a plasma leak damaged the engine room. The other two freighters protected the struck ships from several waves of pirate fighters while the crew repaired the engines - though during the repairs both Kavilpa Rochry as well as her gunner and engineer Golrin Lightingstar suffered burns from the leaking plasma.



After arriving at the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell the burns were treated in the med center before the crews of all ships celebrated their arival at the local cantina.

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