Explosion thought to be due to ship accident

A DDS ship has reached the site of the massive explosion detected in between Solaris and Sanger Alpha on Saturday. As suspected the explosion was not natural and occurred in subspace, probably by a ship traveling at superluminal speeds. Analysis of the radiation indicates the explosion may be due to a catastrophic accident on the ship such as a reactor failure.

Early radiation scans indicate the ship could have been Bolitic due to the isotopes detected however this is not definite yet. A DDS spokesman said the explosion was a large one which indicated it was due to a large ship such as a Snarl.
