Contact lost with Aldebra

The DDS are reporting that the hyperspace link to Aldebra has been lost, possibly due to Argon jamming. The Starbotians are also unable to maintain contact with their assets on the planet and the ship I-6 which is currently in orbit. The DDS has raised its alert status to AMBER and put the Rapid Reaction Squadron on standby.

The loss of contact could be due to the remoteness of Aldebra which is a UNP colony but outside of normal spacelanes and the DDS communications network. Only one L2 commercial link exists to the planet from Malau and this can sometimes go down due to subspace interference.
