Ageira Shipment To Kusari Lost

[Phate]

"This is the Colony News Service. A vital shipment of Gate/Lane Parts was intercepted and destroyed today in the Independent Worlds before it could reach the safety of Kusari space. Despite the fact that the Mammoth transport was under heavy guard by a Liberty Navy Gunboat and a special Heavy Fighter dispatched by Interspace Commerce. The pilot of [ITC]Exothermic had to be hospitalized upon returning, but he succeded in recovering several civilian escape pods. Interspace reports that the insurance rates will have to be increased due to recent weeks' events. It is believed that the Lane Hackers were behind this attack, however the interference from the cloud made the scans inconclusive. Although the Convoy was insured, it will take at least a month to manufacture replacement parts, which will significantly delay the construction project in Hokkaido. Kusari Naval Forces didn't want to comment on this topic, although it has been proved that the cargo transport exploded in the Shiun Cloud in the Shikoku System, at Kusari border, where the Liberty Navy could not follow."
