The fightback against the pirates is continuing, New Sparta is reporting that a pirate fleet approaching the ship containing the stolen Martian gold (which NS had already secured) was attacked by an NS task force. Six pirate ships are reported to have been lost with a Freedom 41B MCS being lost in the battle after it was struck by TPMs.
Two other ships received notable damage. NS Commander Knobhead said that the pirates would be crushed utterly.
