Press Release

Home Defence Corps ships of the Union of Free Worlds responded earlier today to a distress call from a location near the Bespin system. Upon arrival at the scene, the frigate Restless Abandon found an unknown number of destroyed cargo vessels and ships.

While these ships did not belong to LFX Industrial or the Union of Free Worlds, our hearts go out to the crew of Convoy TX-88, and security in and around all systems is currently being tightened in an effort to prevent further catastrophes such as this from taking place again.
