IMC Convoy shoots down two pirates

Date: 180809
Planet: Tatoo System/Naboo System/Ord Mantell
Region: Nova Orion Station

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

Last night IMC sent two more freighters carrying weapon-grade steel from Tatooine to Ord Mantell, Captain Inaera Kell's "Outlaw's Justice" and the TTC-Tencilia" flown by Coolo, both YT-2400 class ships. The freighters flew without escorts but were able to cover each other - in theory. The convoy took off from the new landing pad in Farpoint Valley and gathered in Tatooine's orbit, as usual.

Both ships soon had an opportunity to put the theory to the test when they were attacked in the Naboo system by an Advanced X-Wing and an older ARC-170. In a prolonged fight both attackers were shot down without either freighter suffering armor damage, thanks to strong shields and quick shunting. The cargo safely reached the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell soon afterwards.



IMC shares rose 4 % at the Coronet Stock Exchange following the news.
