Fighting continuing on Starbot as K-2 hunted by special forces

New Sparta has reported on the attack on the Argon orbital base. The first action was to rescue to UNP hostages held at the base, an Emerald unmanned transport outfitted with industrial level teleporters was sent into Starbotian orbit posing as a Starbotian transport (hence the lack of any organic crew). The UNP citizens were rescued thanks to confusion caused by numerous cyber attacks.

Then the 1st Attack Squadron made a run at the Argon base, a Starbotian Isometric was destroyed and other Starbotian assets moved in to intercept. However this attack was a diversion, another attack squadron then decloaked and attacked the Argon base with MRMs. The base was destroyed but one Warrior (016-108 Walrus) bomber was caught by ground fire and destroyed. An Indy (035-207 Invicta) was also destroyed while protecting Quasar bombers. The final act was to launch an attack on Starbotian Military HQ on the surface, it was heavily damaged though K-2 is reported to have survived.

The Starbotian fleet has been badly damaged, one of their Type 35s and two Isometrics have been destroyed and other ships knocked out of action. New Sparta has control of Starbotian orbit and have deployed special forces to the surface. President Sea Urchin said K-2 would be hunted down and would face justice.
