LVN has learned that the 1st Space Fleet under the command of Windscorpion has encountered the Tarbotians and dealt the enemy a "bloody nose". The fleet had been sent out a couple of months ago in response to the cowardly attack and destruction of the SS Hydra. The fleet sent was the most powerful assembled for years including 4 cruisers and 5 frigates and a detachment from the Dinos.
Windscorpion has reported that 6 Tarbotian warships were destroyed and a number of others damaged. The Quasar cruiser Lepton and the Isometric frigate Holocene were badly damaged with some loss of life, and some other ships received more minor damage. No ships were lost. Lord Rotarios, hail to thee!, said the victory was a shining example of the value of professionalism!
Some ships will remain in the area but Windscorpion will be returning to Proxima 7 with the bulk of the fleet. More details will be no doubt forthcoming at a media briefing later this week.
