The Mulberry 36A cruiser SS Midas has been damaged during a so-called Real DDS raid in the Sanga Alpha system. The traitors are thought to have been raiding a stores depot and took a vital component for their stolen ship SS Cicero. In escaping they fired TPMs at point blank range against the Midas which was caught by surprise. The Midas was knocked out of action with three fatalities reported.
The Real DDS escaped though NS patrols are still hunting for them. Viceroy Caratore has ordered that all security at NS Engineering depots be increased.
