A Rome class corvette has reported detecting an unknown ship a lightyear away from the destroyed UNP freighter near Malau. The ship was not a UNP or DDS allied ship as the DDS have been given a list of all of the transponder codes of ships that should be in the area : military and commercial.
The Rome gave chase but the unknown ship had too much of a lead and was able to escape. The ship used a kind of scrambling field so the Rome was unable to determine anything about the other ship other than the fact it was there.
