Again, attacks on Reachian, and now foreign targets, have been executed with alarming efficiency. A bomb was detonated on the GEH embassy's grounds; killing 17 Reachian civilians, 5 Marines (~1/3 of the Reachian portion of the guards), 2 GEH diplomatic advisers, and 7 GEH guards. Half of the embassy was leveled, while what remained of the embassy has been evacuated for the time being to a more secure location. An R.E.C. battalion, along with GEH officials & investigators, has been deployed to rebuild the embassy and investigate the incident.
In addition, 3 days afterwords, an ex-military freighter listed as 'lost with all hands' 29 years ago was spotted in orbit around Lunus Alphus. Within 47 seconds of being detected, it executed a slipspace jump; 2 Emile-class vessels attempted to pursue, however the freighter immediately launched 3 high-yield fusion warheads. The ships survived the one near-miss, but had to break off. Approximately 9 hours later, the same freighter exited slipspace on a collision course with the RSV 'Phoenix'. The freighter collided with the 'Phoenix', causing superficial damage & killing 2 crew members; both of whom were doing exterior work, removing small pieces of space debris fused to the hull.
The motive of the attacks are still unknown, and now a substantial reward is being offered for any information leading to the mastermind(s) of the attacks. Identities or locations are ideal.
