NS Commander Knobhead has ordered a relief force to the Rim World planet of Golinar Sigma which suffered a massive nuclear explosion killing thousands and badly damaging an already fragile and marginal ecosphere. Emergency supplies and medical personnel as well as engineers and disaster response experts will be taken with the fleet which will consist of:
S221 Olympus Mons (flagship)
H164 Castor
M180 Sulu Sea
K151 Fighting Falcon
K156 Kite
L153 South East Asia
L159 Australasia
A119 Crane
A156 Methane
A210U Association
A903 Doctor Vincent
The fleet will depart from Solaris tomorrow and reach Golinar Sigma by the end of next week. Two ships are already in orbit and have taken UNP Astral Weather Service experts to examine the effect of the explosions on the planet's ecosphere. There was a worry that the planet might become uninhabitable but that is now thought unlikely though there will be a period of uncertainty.
