An update on the current situation at the Masariin Gazaar arcology.
Back on the 3rd of June, an incident occurred that eventually lead to the destruction of an Echo Class Corvette carrying multiple militants, later identified as pirate Clone Soldiers affiliated with the Angel Cartel and Serpentis Corporation. The corvette was on an atmospheric exit trajectory when response forces arrived on scene, and subsequently tackled and destroyed 33.2km above the surface with the assistance of Karina Schiffer of the Valkyrie’s Curse corporation. Wreckage was rapidly tractored away and the surviving crew and Clone Soldiers detained.
The Echo had, prior to this, managed to slip into a temporary breach in the arcology’s defensive net, caused by what was initially believed to be a system error, allowing it to set down near the Industrial Districts and deploy a number of clone soldiers and their support equipment. Only half of the warclone compliment was deployed before response fighters from the nearby surface hangar began to force the corvette off, and into the responding vessels in the stratosphere. This necessitated the initial lockdown of travel too and from the Arcology.
The deployed Clone Soldiers managed to make it to the cover of the industrial districts, and began causing havoc with automated systems, and began skirmishing with Arcology Security Forces and Warclone Auxiliaries belonging primarily to the Bosena Accords, as they began to setup their support equipment in Industrial Block H4-DL3Y, and hijacked the local computing network of the Block to gain control of blast door controls and automated functions, and were able to quickly fortify it as a base of operations.
These interlopers were able to be contained to the Industrial Blocks immediately surrounding Block H4-DL3Y , and skirmishes continued from then, to the current date, and are now fully contained to Block H4-DL3Y, and will soon be detained in one form or other, or eradicated as their biomass reserves fully deplete.
The defensive net breach was later identified as having been a deliberate act of sabotage perpetrated by an individual already planetside, who was later caught attempting to cause a second breach, managing to recreate the entry corridor a second time long enough for a Wreathe class industrial to hotdrop a limited resupply of biomass to the pirate warclones, before executing a warp jump just beyond the Stratosphere. The culprit has been detained, and will be held until the current situation is dealt with, at which point his own fate will be decided.
Tally of damages incurred, and security force casualties will be released once the situation has been fully rectified.
