Two DDS warships have had an encounter with three Zone warships near to Oscar. The two Pentekonter OPVs (3504 Pericles and 3507 Sappho) were on a training mission when they were attacked by two Zone ships, a third joined the attack soon afterwards.
Recent tactical updates, previously unannounced but we understand retrofitted to the Pentekonter fleet following early combat experience, proved very effective and the Zones suffered one lost ship, the other two fled. Both DDS ships sustained minor damage with six reported injuries to crewmen but not serious.
Two Terran Sea frigates have been despatched to the area.
