Thieves stole a retired Kalahati Tuul based at Mila Orbital Station in an attempt to raid gold mines deep in Remedian territory but a DDS frigate captained by Caratore. The ship, SS Loeuss, was one of 3 former Remedian Navy KTs being used as static departmental ships. The Loeuss was being employed as a mobile generator to provide power to the orbital station over Mila as the station's own reactors were replaced. A criminal gang overpowered the small maintenance team aboard the ship and then set it free from the station. The ship was still largely in working order.
Caratore, in his new command Isometric frigate SS Eocene, was in the area undertaking training and was able to intercept the KT before it could reach the mines. The KT has an operational cloak and main cannons but had no TPMs and the shields failed so was soon defeated by the Eocene. The thieves were apprehended and the Loeuss towed back to Mila. The DDS are now going to de-arm the 3 KTs and also put in extra safeguards to prevent such a theft happening again.
