SHIP STATUS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Our action against the Pirates in the Setti system escalated today with the news that a Trade/re-fuelling platform has been destroyed in a attack.

Most worrying of all was the surprisingly large capital ships used in the attack.

In response the IBCE (Imperial Bureau of Custom and Excise) has moved more ships into the area. In addition to this, Setti's own defence force has been given instructions to assist in our operation, the VSD II Raptor, FRG Rex, and FRG Gallimimus have joined our Task Force.

CM Atmos Myremod who was a witness to the attack is now safely back on board the Colossus. We are now on constant yellow alert.


The Battle readiness trivia and mission are attached.

The wing and ship websites can be found at www.isdcolossus.com and www.isdcolossus.com/com/ . These two sites will continue to cover the majority of what we need while myself and abv work on a new site.
