The latest DDS exercise March Hare 2113 ended yesterday unfortunately in tragedy. In the final event the "enemy" Red Team led by M106 Eocene tried to repel the Blue Team from an asteroid field near Barnard's Star. During the exercise a navigational error (though to be due to incorrect data being entered into the auto collision system) saw the Panther 35A H105 Ocelot hit an asteroid causing a hull breach.
Two crewmen were sucked into space (and died more or less instantly), one more crewman died in a fire aboard the Fleet Combat Ship. The damage was quickly contained and Ocelot has now returned to Solaris for repairs. An investigation is being carried out.
