Although NS have not commented on it, third party reports are coming in from the Saeou press and Starbotians that New Sparta has suffered a catastrophic defeat in battle against the Mutre Bee Organisation. This news website cannot yet confirm or deny the very worrying news.
Earlier today over forty NS warships engaged in battle with a MBO fleet of sixty ships. Now only around eleven NS ships remain, the rest destroyed or captured. Rubicks Cube Warrior is reported to have died. MBO took significant losses too though by no means as bad as NS. Their fleet is regrouping.
Details of the battle are sketchy, one report states sabotage acts destroyed numerous NS ships and caused the rest of the fleet to lose discipline. NS have not commented on the battle.
