HCS lost 3 ships against Xenon

The HCS have reported they lost just 3 ships in the battle against the Xenon despite inflicting a mortal blow on the 7 Sa Sao faction. Such as the element of the Clone's surprise the Xenon ships and defences are thought not to have had time to fully power up before the HCS onslaught. Recent HCS shield upgrades also negated the effects of some of the Xenon weapons.

All 3 ships lost were Cosmos, 2 CS and 1 CK. The latter was actually destroyed by a hitting an asteroid during the battle due to a navigational failure. The fleet is now returning home.
