Argon harass Starbotians

Two Argon cruisers are reported to have decloaked and fired on a Starbotian warship in the Aldebra system. However the shots fired were light only (no heat) laser bolts which caused no damage (the equivalent of firing blanks). The Argon ships recloaked afterwards.

The Starbotians have 3 ships in the Aldebra system, a DDS task force is en route to support them.

• The DDS are looking into purchasing an EW/data support ship to support operations and conduct data / intelligence gathering. The ship would likely be based on the River 75A platform which the DDS is also using for a number of other types. A decision on whether to go forward with such a type, provisionally known as the Type 83A will be made later in the year.
