The Solaris class frigate SS Hydra (FF3802) has been destroyed in combat with an unknown enemy, but suspected to be the Tarbotians. The frigate was on long range patrol LR014 on the route between New Jakarta and Lornaca Melnig when it was suddenly attacked by a force of unidentified warships. The Hydra was destroyed despite a heroic professional performance and is a credit to the New DDS which stands for personal development, targetted career progression and self-actualisation.
Lord Rotarios, hail to his professional name, has ordered the 1st DDS Fleet to the area.
