The DDS are reporting that a powerful Tarbotian fleet sent into 7 Sa Sao space has been torn apart by the Argon faction. How the DDS know has not been revealed though some sources say the DDS had a ship following the Tarbotians. Why the Tarbotians entered 7SS space was unknown though debris from a space battle between the Tarbotians and 7SS was also found by the DDS close to the border of the two superpowers' space.
The DDS say it looks like the Tarbotians were impetuous and were lured into a trap by the Argon who ripped the Tarbotians apart with a kind of cloaked mine and then finished them off with ship-to-ship fire.
Because it does not look like the incident will lead to a wider war at the moment the DDS have reduced their alert status to GREEN.
