P103 Pericles, a
Type 44A Pentekonter patrol ship, has been attacked by an unknown assailant near to
Rathun's World. The Pentekonter was attacked by the ship, which looked like a heavily modified old
Tarbotian frigate, when conducting a routine patrol circuit. Its thought the ship is
Zone operated as they tend to use old ships heavily modified and updated. Its possible the Zone ship was smuggling female Zones to brothels on Rathun's World, a big problem on the planet recently especially when
King Rathun himself was caught in a police raid on a brothel and found with 2 underage Zone females and a large tub of yoghurt.
P103 suffered main power failure but no lasting serious damage and only minor injuries. The other ship cloaked and escaped. P103 was unfortunately not carrying any TPMs. A
Type 43C Arafura Sea class frigate has been sent to the area to beef up the patrol assets available.
