HCS ship destroyed near Sear N7 (Reports)

Molab media is reporting that a HCS ship, probably a Kalahati Tuul KTS, has been destroyed in unclaimed space near to Sear N7. A Molab ship was nearby but the Molabites are emphasising that they did not destroy the Clone ship, they say that one of their Vortis frigates was also lost in the same mysterious circumstance.

HCS-E has gone on high alert and a fleet is being assembled at Austini 55, it is thought however that the Clones are not blaming Molab for the loss and indeed have entered diplomatic discussions for the transfer of telemetry which could help explain the loss.

• SS Panther will complete a short test run with its new worm drive this week and then take over as flagship of the RRF from SS Isometric. It is thought DDS Research are keen to get their test ship back so they can begin field tests of Open Architecture 3.0 technology though Isometric will not be converted fully to OA 3.0 until next year.
