New Sparta have revealed that an enemy group (whom they are not naming) seized control of the NS transporter SS Amazon, killing the crew in the process. The ship was then operated remotely and sent on a collision course with the large orbital space dock Proxima Central in orbit over Proxima 7. The UNP President was visiting Proxima Central at the time, it is not known if the enemy intention was to kill the President or not but it is suspected it was no co-incidence they made the attack now.
NS said that they detected the attack and managed to restore control of the Amazon while it was on the edge of the Proxima Centauri system. The ship has now been towed to an NS orbital facility for analysis by NSIS and repair. NSIS are said to be looking into how the terrorists were able to seize control of the ship. A source has said that the Mutre Bee Organisation was suspected to be behind the attack though NS are, at the moment, not naming the culprits.
VP (Security) Stella, who is currently in charge of NS (Windscorpion is on leave, Torus is said to be ill), has raised the NS alert status to AMBER.
