The ABBOs have launched a surprise raid deep in DDS space. Proxima 5 was attacked by 12 ABBO warships which had been hiding in the wake of a comet passing through the Proxima system. The main target of the raid was the HQ of DDS Communications which was hit by at least 6 beam strikes and 1 missile.
The facility is said to have been moderately damaged though the most important areas were unaffected. Hypernet, the DDS network, was down for a brief moment before a backup restored service. Some monitoring was also disrupted briefly. 5 of the ABBO warships were destroyed, the others fled.
The main impact of the raid will be to show the DDS that the ABBOs can strike anywhere in the DDS and thus will need to maintain strong forces at all key points.
