To the relief of the UNP (and New Sparta) the billions of zarks worth of gold stolen from the Bank of Mars has been retrieved by NS. In an operation led by Windscorpion a freighter holding the gold was discovered hidden near a brown dwarf star guarded by 4 pirate fighters. The freighter was secured and 3 pirate ships destroyed according to reports. The NS ship involved, SS Velocity, sustained some damage though is now under repair.
NS ships are currently en route to help. The gold will be bought back to the UNP under heavy guard. Its thought it will be held at the Bank of England on Terra until the vaults on Mars are repaired.
