SS Lancer, the flagship of the NS force being assembled to face the MBO fleet, has been destroyed in an apparent act of sabotage which caused a catastrophic reactor bank failure. Knobhead was among those aboard the ship and has been reported dead. This loss has thrown NS into complete disarray. Rumours are circulating that the DNA Scanning Agency has been compromised and that Mutre Bee clones are operating undetected throughout NS.
President Torus has been evacuated to a secure and secret location, again it is rumoured she was attacked by a clone operative. The Chef has been appointed the new head of the NS fleet, his ship is now en route.
