The death toll in the horror friendly fire incident that saw a Quasar rammed by a Provider (destroying both) and a Terran Sea badly damaged has risen to 151. It will rise still further a spokesperson said because some of the damage control crew who managed to prevent SS Sea Of Oskhotsk from being destroyed suffered fatal doses of radiation.
Admiral Von Kane resigned following the incident, Windy has refused to accept his resignation however has removed him from command of the 4th Fleet. Torus has been made temporary head of the fleet. He has yet to be assigned a new ship to replace SS Boson which was destroyed.
The deployment has now arrived at Starbot. SS Velocity, which suffered severe damage, will go to Solaris for fill repairs. A tug has been dispatched from Proxima 7 to retrieve the Terran Sea frigate which it will need to be decontaminated before the repairs, which will take a long time, can begin. The ship is not expected back in service until late next year.
An investigation team is looking into an incident some weeks ago where the SS Starlifter encountered an unknown alien ship and the captain claimed he had been probed by aliens, possibly the 7 Sa Sao. At the time it was ignored as the captain was known for his love of the bottle.
