Over the last few weeks there have been a number of attacks on commercial shipping in the vicinity of UNP member Sanger Alpha 6329. The area has usually been a fairly quiet and secure part of space being only 9 light years from the Proxima Centauri system however that has changed with the pirate attacks.
The UNP has requested the DDS move in and deal with the pirates who are not Zone level in power and ferocity but are proving an annoyance to UNP traders. A DDS warship is due to be sent to the area next week.
