Zones destroy DDS ship

SS Andromeda, a ship of the Solaris II class of patrol-frigates, has been destroyed in an ambush by Zone forces. The Zones are thought to have used their new multi-phasic weapon (which nearly destroyed Sea Urchin's Quasar cruiser a few weeks ago) to utterly destroy the Andromeda which encountered the Zones on a routine patrol in the Rim Worlds.

The DDS has been put on full alert though it is thought that all ships have been advised to avoid battle with Zone warships until a counter for this new weapon has been found.
