The transport attacked and badly damaged by pirates, 071-110 Trader, has arrived at Solaris after being towed by another Provider 071A. The ship suffered heavy damage to its front section including the bridge. It could be controlled from the engineering centre though this tends to be avoided if possible plus all navigational systems had been lost so it would have needed another ship to know which way to go anyway!
NS Engineering have carried out an initial assessment. The ship will require a new front crew section and some other repairs. NS have decided it will be upgraded to Skytrain 131A standard with the fitting of worm drive. This should be completed by the end of the year.
