Viceroy Caratore has personally called Emperor MBH to apologise after NS made a "terrible error" in destroying a small Dino science base on an asteroid just outside of UNP space. The base was struck by nuclear missiles fired from two Quasar bombers and was totally destroyed. The crew of five Dinos are thought most likely to have been killed though no remains have yet been found.
An NS source says NS received intelligence that the base was the hideout of the rebel so-called Real DDS but this obviously was wrong. The Dinos have yet to react to the incident. A UNP military intelligence analyst has said (anonymously) that the "science base" was most likely a listening post for UNP and NS signals and data-streams. However, destroying the base is a huge mistake which most likely will have repercussions.
