A Tarbotian detachment has been spotted near Charlotte, a UNP administered colony in the Rim Worlds. As the planet is a UNP protectorate the DDS are tasked with defending it. The nearest ship was Rome 46A corvette K102 Caesar which investigated the Tarbotians and found the detachment consisted of an old Hyper Ship cruiser and 3 Samara destroyers.
Caesar was "buzzed" by 3 Tarbotian Triangle bombers and tried to contact the Tarbotians but they did not respond to any attempts at contact with the DDS. A Quasar cruiser was at New Arit and was despatched to assist though was still over a day away. An Aritan Intrepid destroyer was closer but still hours away. Because of this the captain of K102 Caesar did not attempt to engage the Tarbotians but maintained a watching brief.
Some hours later, presumably when they detected the Quasar on long-range scans the Tarbotians headed out of UNP space and engaged their cloaks. The DDS are now considering how to strengthen this part of their space.
