HCS on Petric attacked

Petric is the Clone Star Empire planet nearest the scenes of troubles with the Xenon faction of the 7 Sa Sao. It recently has been seeing a major military build-up by the Clones with a HCS legion plus other forces moves there. Now these forces have come under attack.

A small space vessel of unknown origin though similar in configuration to the Xenon ships already encountered appeared in Petric orbit after evading HCS defences. It then attacked the HCS base on Petric, firing 17 powerful energy bolts into the camp from orbit before being destroyed by a HCS space ship. 128 HCS soldiers are reported to have been killed on the planet. No life signs were found in alien ship indicating it was a drone.
