Massive explosion cuts off Cloneworld from rest of empire

A massive explosion has destroyed Cloneworld's lasernet multiplex thus cutting the planet off from all interstella communications. As yet the cause of the explosion is unknown though terrorism has not been ruled out by the HCS. The news was broken by the Dinos, who have a low-power lasernet transmitter at their embassy in Ailier City.

The HCS have asked the Dinos if they can use this transmitter for emergency communications until enough HCS warships are in place to form what has been called a "digital pontoon bridge" to relay short-range messages to the nearest lasernet node on Daggaddon.

Its thought the lasernet multiplex could be out of action for several days.
