NS have reported that SS Braun has been lost in an enemy attack in unclaimed space between the Raegris and Bolitic territories. The Marconi EW ship is thought to have been trying to set up a direct communication link between the Raegris and New Sparta after the existing links were severed by the Terrasaurs. This has hindered co-operation and data reporting during the war badly.
President Torus is said to have ordered an NSIS investigation into how Braun was detected so quickly. It's location and mission was top secret.
