Duronis II - Lokesh City Free Press New Distribution System Laudean News Feed

Orion Freighter Meets With Disaster The Orion Freighter Thentahas, that was reported earlier to have sent out a universal distress call, has blown up, fragmenting into Laudean space. It is not known how many of the crew survived the disaster, but conservative estimates project the death toll to be at least 150 or more, if there was a full crew on board.

The Federation's USS Resolution was joined by the USS Ronin in the rescue effort, but it is unknown how many, if any, they were able to safely beam off the freighter. It is unknown why the USS Ronin is in the area.

Our sources report that the Thentahas had been hired to make a delivery of unknown cargo to the Zalkonian Embassy, however, the Zalkonian Ambassador refused to comment on the specific nature of the delivery, saying only that it was supplies to meet their needs.

Stay tuned for further developments on this story.
