FES outwit Clones and seize Rendrial 4

The Free Eritran States (FES) fleet led by Helinox has tricked the Clones. The Clones thought the fleet was heading for Austini 55 and were assembling their own fleet accordingly, however the FES have switched direction and today attacked Rendrial 4.

The orbital facility of the planet was struck by an MRM destroying it, a Kalahati Tuul S is also reported to have been destroyed. The FES have now entered orbit and are calling on the Clone forces on the planet to surrender.

The other FES fleet led by Molab is expected to reach Miliaris tomorrow, it is thought they may attempt the same around this planet too.

An independent source has reported that the initial attack on the Clones destroyed three Shark frigates, four Kalahati Tuuls and three Type A transports. Three other ships were badly damaged and may be written off.
