071-110 Trader has been reached by NS ships who have confirmed the ship has been badly damaged. However the shock is Trader appears to have been damaged by a TPM! NS Engineering teams say that somehow one of Trader's own TPMs turned around and destroyed the command section of the ship. Telemetry is now being analysed but one unconfirmed report says that somehow the pirates hacked into the guidance beam of the TPM to turn it on the NS ship.
It is also confirmed that Trader has been emptied of its cargo of TPMs. Knobhead has called an emergency meeting of the NS Politburo.
