An ABBO scout ship has been spotted near Liberation by a DDS freighter. The Provider transport immediately reported the ABBO ship to Liberation Orbital Control who despatched a frigate to investigate. The ABBO ship came closer to the Provider which armed it's Canister TPM and may have scanned the transport but it left by the time the frigate arrived an hour later.
The Orchid has said that only armed DDS ships will now be allowed in DDS South because of the raised ABBO threat. The remaining transports in the DDS fleet without Canister TPM will be fitted out with the self-defence weapon by the end of the month. Transports will also begin to carry 3 TPMs once stocks are raised of the modified missile.
