Aritan ship destroyed by Telvins?

The Aritans are reporting that a civilian transport ship on their civil registry has been destroyed in what they call an "unprovoked attack by the Telvins". The ship was en route back to New Arit from Sirikwan when it was apparently attacked when near Telvin 802. The Aritans and Telvins have a long history of hostility.

The Aritans have asked the Dinos for assistance and it is understood the Dinos have sent a ship to investigate. If the Telvins are attacking Arit then this could be the first test for the Dino Trade Association and its mutual defence pact.

• The DDS and HCS may team up on a military exercise later in the year. A DDS team may meet with their HCS counterparts after the commander election to discuss a joint exercise.
