Windy's task force, heading ever deeper into the Bolitic Confederacy on the hunt for the New Cross, has been attacked by a powerful Bolitic force. Three Snarl and an older Redhull of an unknown House (though maybe of the House of Reigan whose depot Windy attacked a few weeks ago) ambushed the SS Carboniferous and SS Stratotanker. In the ensuing battle 2 Snarls and the Redhull were destroyed. The Extender oiler received minor damage but the Carboniferous lost main power and will require repairs before the mission can continue.
It is understood the 2 ships have gone onto the nearby planet of Smolask to begin the repairs.
