Two pirate ships were intercepted near Sanger Alpha earlier today and destroyed following a short battle, one NS ship suffered moderate damage. Some crew were injured but none fatally. NS Commander Knobhead later said that the bulk of the pirate force had now been destroyed.
The NS alert has been dropped to AMBER though NS will continue enhanced patrols. It is thought around 4 or 5 pirate ships are still extant. Following analysis of the battles to date NS think they have now accounted for all but 9 of the stolen TPMs.
