The DDS is not answering speculation in the media that the recent debut mission by D101 Panther had a slightly larger crew contingent than planned. It is reported by some bloggers that 2 Bolitic soldiers managed to get on board the destroyer before it left for it's patrol between Proxima 7 and Solaris and tried to glean information on the new type.
The Bolitic were supported by the Utrek, perhaps from their shadowy secret service. A Hyper Speed Transport shadowed the Panther while the 2 Bolitic tried to hack into computer systems. Luckily the Utrek ship was discovered after it's cloak field reacted with Panther's subspace wake and the 2 Bolitic forced to flee before they could get any meaningful data though it is thought they did manage to get some information on the internal layout of the ship. A DDS spokeswoman said, off the record, that such information would be published this year in technical journals anyway so there was little harm done.
The DDS has raised security on the Panther though refuse to confirm or deny the incident took place.
