Freedom ship suffers fatal accident

The DDS are reporting that the Freedom 41B MCS M123 Foresight has suffered an accident in which 3 crewmen were killed and 6 others injured. The DDS are not reporting what happened but a Raegris source says there was an explosion in Foresight's weapons bay. A large hole has been blown in the ship's hull (2 of the deaths are said to be from being ejected into space).

The DDS say Foresight instigated a CODE 4G PURPLE emergency response procedure which involves a full reactor shut down and non-essential crew sent to escape pods for immediate ejection. However following emergency recovery work the immediate danger to the ship has passed and a CODE 7H RED procedure has begun instead, in this crew are bought back from the pods and the ship is put on secure lockdown pending assistance. A Raegris ship is reported to have arrived on scene (thus Foresight may have been patrolling near Raegris space). Two DDS ships are also en route and are expected to arrive soon.
