An MBO ship has been destroyed near Proxima 6, the lifeless planet between Proxima 5 and 6. The MBO have not given any more information, an anonymous NS source said the ship was destroyed by an NS ship which then left the system. A few minutes later a squadron of MBO ships was scrambled but by then the NS ship had long gone.
It is speculated that the ship was the NS flagship SS Cicero which has turned off it's transponder and has gone missing. Torus and other senior NS figures, who refuse to join MBO-New Sparta, are thought to be aboard.
