The DDS has raised its alert status to ORANGE (the highest status for a non-combat situation) following a skirmish between a DDS Prowler unit and Argon soldiers on Aldebra. The Prowler unit was led by the veteran Ice-Ranger and had detected and cornered a cloaked Argon unit. However in the firefight it is thought a second undetected Argon unit ambushed the DDS killing Ice-Ranger and 2 other Prowler soldiers.
ISSF Commander Torus raised the alert status and also instigated a raising of security and alert across the whole DDS. DDS Commander Firefly, returning to GHQ following a visit to Solaris, has called an emergency DDS Politburo meeting for tomorrow.
Speaking on DDS TV Torus said that Ice-Ranger had been a well-liked member of the DDS who had fought alongside so many since the late Clone Wars. His loss would be missed Torus added.
