Tensions are rising between the DDS and HCS over Oscar. On the ground the HCS backed CAO seems to have the upperhand over the DDS backed OTA but in space DDS and HCS warships have clashed. An unnamed Isometric frigate is reported to have been fired on by 2 Cosmos cruisers after it got too close to 3 Type A transports bringing yet more military supplies to the CAO.
The Cosmos fired low-energy shots which did not cause the DDS ship any damage though it was forced to take evasive action. The sudden movements causing some minor injuries. Later on in another incident a Ferret-E drone was destroyed by the HCS after it tried to take photographs of the docked transports in Oscar. The DDS have protested the loss of their drone which the HCS said was destroyed because "we feared it was out of control and might hit one of our ships".
In a third and final incident a Cosmos cruiser near Oscar was "jumped" by 2 DDS Rome corvettes and forced into a small asteroid field. The Cosmos sustained 2 hits and it is reported 3 crewmen were injured.
There are signs however the DDS are preparing to pull out of Oscar, giving up on the OTA. The latest shipment of arms has turned back to Proxima 7 due to "technical reasons" (the real reason it is rumoured is that the DDS don't think the OTA will last much longer and they don't want the weapons falling into Clone hands). The handful of F-10A(S) fighters deployed to Oscar have also been removed and returned to Proxima 7.
