IMC Convoy encounters increased pirate activity

Date: 240408
Planet: Tatooine/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Farpoint Valley/Nova Orion Station

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

While in the past, many attacks on the regular IMC cargo convoy happened in the Naboo system, the convoy of two days ago did not encounter any hostiles during their trip through the system.

However, once reaching the Ord Mantell system, the three freighters forming the convoy, Ryian Coron's YT-1300 "Spinning Cloud", Amillo Fauth's YT-2400 "Recreant Sun", and Auros Drayen's "It's Irrelevant", also a YT-2400 class ship, were beset by numerous Ixiyen fighters, and took several minutes to reach the safety of the Nova Orion station, delivering new ship-grade steel.

The convoy took no damages despite a short detour near or inside an asteroid field, and the cargo was safely delivered.

IMC stock rose 5% following this at the Coronet stock exchange.
