After rising pirate attacks the Intergalactic Mining Company upgraded the security for their latest cargo of ore from Farpoint Valley, Tatooine, to the Nova Orion Shipyards in Ord Mantell. The cargo was transported on the "Pride of Blasphemy", the well-armed and armored Incom X-4 class gunboat of veteran captain Inaera Kell. The ship was escorted by two Imperial fighters as well.

Despite this protection three unidentified ships, a YT-2400 and two Incom T-65 X-Wings, attacked in the Corellia System. All were destroyed though before the "Pride of Blasphemy" safely delivered her cargo to the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell.

According to the latest news operatives of the Galactic Empire recently managed to capture a high-ranking admiral of the fleet of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. Details, especially the name of the captured officer, were not released.

Rumors claim that reports of a rebel attack on an imperial transport with secret cargo in the Dantooine system, which was later sighted in the Dathomir system, are related to this and part of a rescue attempt on the part of the rebellion which even reached the high-security prison on Dathomir.

As leaked footage shows though the rescue attempt, if it was, ultimately failed:

Iskar Creed, the current administrator of the Nova Orion Station in Ord Mantell, was attacked last night by an unidentified bounty hunter in grey mandalorian armor in the company of two men wearing stormtrooper armor. The three attackers fled with their ship - said to be a gunboat - before station security could apprehend them. The reason for the attack is not known, but rumors claim it is related to a member of the infamous Halcyon family.

Administrator Creed was treated in the local med center and released shortly afterwards. According to the latest news he has resumed his duties. In response to the attack a bounty was placed on the as of yet unidentified attackers.

Region: Nova Orion Station

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

Last night the YE-4 class Imperial Prison Barge "Epsilon" was attacked by pirates in the Ord Mantell system. Severly damaged in the fight the ship barely made it to the Nova Orion station, where it docked while mercenaries drove off the remaining pirates.

The ship underwent emergency repairs at the station until it was deemed fit to continue its course. Escorted by two freelance pilots the "Epsilon" made its way to the Tatooine System despite another attack by raiders on the way.

Whether any of the the crew and the "passenger", if any, were injured or killed during the attacks is not known, nor if the attack was random, or a planned rescue attempt.
