Earlier CSS Mekkara, a Type C1 transport of the HCS Space Navy approached Oscar on a schedules stop carrying non-military supplies to the Oscar Clones. Isometric frigate F125 Pliocene approached the transport and demanded it allow a DDS boarding part to inspect it's holds. Within minutes a HCS Soulaki and 2 Cosmos cruisers arrived on the scene and demanded the DDS ship let the HCS transport continue.
A tense standoff, in which 2 more DDS ships joined Pliocene, then ensued for the next hour. The HCS transport resumed it's progress but was forced to stop after Pulsar cruiser C109 Antarctic blocked it's way. The HCS ships powered up weapons as did the DDS but the HCS stood down after urgent messages from their regional HQ. A joint-DDS/HCS boarding party was finally allowed to inspect Mekkara's holds but found nothing illegal.
A HCS delegation has left Cloneworld to travel to DDS GHQ to protest the DDS actions and to try and reduce tensions.
