A minesweeping flotilla will be sent to Remedian space next week for a sweep of space near Mila and other areas of the front line during the DDS-Utrek war. Previous efforts have concentrated on major shipping lanes but this second phase of work will encompass lessor routes and regions near to mining colonies.
The mine risk still exists in that area of space. A Dino commercial transport had a near miss with a Utrek mine last month. The mine luckily did not detonate after it decloaked and attacked the transport. If it had detonated it is likely it would have destroyed the ship.
