Flagship badly damaged in mysterious attack

The DDS flagship P101F Cicero has been badly damaged in a mysterious attack in the Rim Worlds. The DDS are not saying much about the incident apart from that SS Cicero lost main power and had to eject the reactor array to avoid a catastrophic overload. The ship was extensively damaged with 4 crew being killed and pretty much all the rest (the current complement was 20) injured to some extent.

The ship was under the command of Windscorpion. The DDS say the ship was involved in countering a threat to the DDS and that that threat has now been neutralised. SS Cicero is being towed back to Solaris for repair, it is likely to be out of action for 3-4 months. No alternative flagship has been named, S201 Missileer serves as the fleet flagship with Cicero being used mainly as Firefly's personal ship. It is likely Firefly will use whatever worm-drive equipped is available in the meantime.
