The offensive against pirates on Cloneworld has continued for a third day. 2 K19B strike bombers attacked a suspected pirate base near Yekaki though the base is thought to have already been abandoned. 3 K85NTNs attacked a jetty on a remote part of the West Clone Republic's coastline though no pirates or ships were seen.
However the pirates have fought back. The Mariner class support ship CNS Voyager was attacked by 4 speed boats near Utapa Atoll and raked with machine gun fire. Two of the boats were hit by the machine guns on Voyager and the ship's ZK26S helicopter sunk one of the others with a missile. Voyager received minor damage though three crew were injured. A Triona class OPV has been sent to protect Voyager.
