General Mecoram, the head of the DDS Army on Porquat 640, was nearly kidnapped by Zone pirates whilst en route from Porquat 640 to Proxima 7 for a conference. He was travelling on the Starsystem class ship 9103T Piscis Australis near New Jakarta when 3 Zone raiders attacked. The Starsystem was quickly overwhelmed and the Zones demanded Mecoram surrender himself to them. Luckily the Pulsar class cruiser 1013 India was nearby and was able to chase off the Zones before they could get Mecoram. The Starsystem was then escorted to New Jakarta where the DDS have some repair facilities.
The DDS are now reviewing their security procedures as the Zones knew Mecoram would be on the ship and where he was.
