Mysterious explosion at NS scrapyard to be investigated by NSIS

An explosion at the main NS scrapyard in the Solaris system is to be investigated by NSIS. The explosion completely destroyed a retired Deterrence light patrol craft, killing two NS Engineering personnel aboard who were preparing for the ship's decommissioning. An NS source said the ship, SS Green Lane, had only recently been withdrawn and it's reactor was still operational. An accident cannot be ruled out though NS Engineering said it would be highly unusual.

Two more NS ships have been sent to the scrapyard to increase security. An NSIS team of investigators is en route.
