One of NS' hospital ships has been mobilised to assist with mass casualties after an anthrax attack at NS' largest facility DDS City has left several thousands seriously ill. NS and civilian hospitals around DDS City and Hexian City have been overwhelmed by this incident and the fire at the nearby chemical factory (which is now under control). An unconfirmed report states that there have been 27 fatalities with more expected.
DDS City has been completely evacuated and sealed off. Whilst it is no longer the GHQ of NS, it remains it's administrative hub. The closure of DDS City has seriously affected NS operations at a critical juncture. A large NS fleet is said to be preparing to give battle with the huge MBO fleet near Saeou.
