Two DDS warships have skirmished with Utrek forces near Loeuss. The 2 Terran Sea frigates were carrying out a reconnaissance of a nearby asteroid field when they were jumped by 6 Utrek ships, said to be 2 Molentic Tuuls and 4 Kalahati Tuuls. One Terran Sea suffered main power failure and some injuries to crew but it's shields held intact.
The other ship managed to repel the Utrek, destroying 1 MT and 1 KT. One other KT was also damaged. Both ships have now returned to Remedia Prime. One member of crew later died due to shrapnel from an explosion. The Terran Sea is expected to be repaired and back in service in a couple of days.
