S101, returning from a long-range reconnaissance has revealed that the Utrek Federation has been defeated by the Mantae! The Starbotian reported that the Utrek fleet had been ground down and defeated and the Utrek capital devastated in a nuclear attack which had left the Emperor and senior staff dead. The Mantae had now returned to their border leaving the Utrek in chaos and in danger of descending into civil war.
It is thought the Starbotian Commander K-2 had tried to suppress S101's report to maintain a tactical advantage but S101 had gone against his commander as he felt it more important for the information on the Utrek and Mantae be available to the other Local Group powers.
NS Deputy Commander Torus said New Sparta was currently digesting the information but that it tied in with what information they had received on the Utrek recently.
