Mysterious ship taking out the ABBOs?

Reports are coming in from Windy's ship SS Carboniferous that they have detected a mysterious alien ship of a previously unknown type which may be behind the collapse of the ABBO mesh. The ship was observed neutralising an ABBO planet after firing some kind of EMP weapon at the planet. All ABBO activity on the planet immediately ceased.


Long range sensors managed to get this image of the ship which is made from unidentifiable alloys and does not correspond with any known ship types in the DDS database. Carboniferous is thought to be only using passive sensors however so this is likely to be preventing the DDS from finding out too much about this mysterious ship yet.
  • New Arit is to produce Dino TPM-1 missiles. The former (devastated) DDS TPM factory will be reused following a rebuild of the facilities over the next few months. The Dinos, under the guise of the DTA, have given the Aritans 130 million zarks for reconstruction purposes including this factory and the Aritan military HQ which was also badly damaged by the ABBOs.
  • The DDS have awarded 6 companies contracts totalling over 850 million zarks for DDS wide ICT facilities. The contracts will maintain and improve computing, networking and communications systems across the DDS over the next 7 years. Expected improvements include a doubling of available internal network bandwidth and much improved data security.
  • DDS exports are to resume with immediate effect. Pentekonter-Es will be made for export customers by the Raegris with the first delivery (to complete Molab's order) expected by the Summer.
