Pentekonter OPV 3517 Pausanias and an Aritan Intrepid class destroyer have managed to trap and destroy a Zone fighter. Its thought this was the ship that atacked and damaged a DDS OPV a couple of days ago. The Pentekonter acted as bait with the Intrepid lying in cloak waiting. When the Zones took the bait then the Aritans quickly decloaked and destroyed the Zone ship.
What has emerged from this is the previously unknown fact that the DDS have given the Aritans TPM technology. All Aritan Intrepids have been fitted out to fire the missile though Aritan stocks of the missile are low, thought to be only a couple allocated per ship. The DDS also plan to give the Aritans technology from the Isometric ships that are converted to Rhombus long-range frigates. Some technology such as cloaking devices will be upgraded and the old (but still pretty modern) equipment will be used to improve the Aritan fleet of Intrepids.
