Outpost (TRI-FP) - Sentient C17-S
"Lamprey" conflux were able to enter TRI space yesterday, and
raid structures located at Outpost station. The Maul custom producer as well as
the Chiropteran naval yard were totally destroyed in the attack.
"The loss of our medium fighter is unfortunate," stated Governor Zenobia Zvera.
"Despite the efforts of pilots from OV, the sentients just appeared out of
nowhere and overwhelmed our defenses. Of course, Calatorius says that if the
beacons between Outpost and Mokk's had been tuned, its possible that the attack
may have been directed elsewhere, or we would have received more advanced
warning, but I'm not so sure, myself. They seemed very determined to destroy the
Maul producer."

Other Octavian officials were more outspoken.

"What we need," stated J'on TIn,
"is a squadron of Quantar pilots protecting our stations. Those guys know
how to fight off sentients! Of course, they didn't need to worry last night, as
Octavian pilots had tuned Quantar space for them. Its a shame our own pilots
didn't have the time to tune Octavian space as well."

The Octavian bureaucracy, acting with unusual alacrity, quickly suspended
their trade deal with TRI, and new supplies have been identified for delivery to
Outpost to rebuild the destroyed naval yard.
