NS has confirmed that the captain of the SS Corkscrew, General Toberone, has been arrested for treason. It is thought he sold details of the security of the new monitor SS Windscorpion to a Bolitic house who then tried to steal the powerful ship.
NS' internal security service NSIS say that they knew about the plot beforehand and were able to trap Toberone and foil the Bolitic. A Meltinan was engaged in a brief skirmish and was allowed to leave after being damaged. Toberone has been taken to Windscorpion's top security prison where he awaits the return of NS' Vice-President of Intelligence. Windscorpion said he is keen to probe Toberone deeply.
President Sea Urchin is said to have been saddened by the betrayal as Toberone is a veteran officer who has served with NS since the Second Clone War.
