Hyperlaser communications have been cut with Aldebra after Argon land forces were landed on the planet though contact has been made with the DDS forces on the planet, thought to be via short-range datalinks to a DDS ship which entered the Aldebran system to perform reconnaissance.
The DDS say that their forces on Aldebra are intact though were forced to withdraw from the capital being severely outnumbered and outgunned and also to spare the civilian population. It is thought they have found much more defensible ground and are awaiting DDS reinforcements.
DDS Commander Firefly said that Aldebra was a UNP world and was being occupied by an enemy power. He called on Argon to withdraw at once, or the DDS would remove them themselves.
