DDS and allies respond to disaster on Aldebra

The UNP colony of Aldebra has been struck by a massive earthquake which has also caused a large nuclear power station to go critical. The UNP has rushed emergency personnel and nuclear engineers to the remote planet though they will not arrive until next week at the earliest. Starbot is much closer and one of their ships is en route to assess the situation and provide assistance. Other ships are on standby. Molab, which is also nearby, have also been asked to send a ship.

The Oceania 63A transport L155 Europa is being prepared at Liberation to head to the planet and will take rescue equipment and personnel as well as emergency supplies. It is thought the nuclear power station situation is under control though there was a release of radioactive substances adding to the problems caused by the earthquake which is reported to have flattened one of the colony's major cities.
