08/3/2656- Hierarchy Patrol Attacked In The Attican Traverse

"Today, the Hierarchy frigate Verdrian Drasictus was attacked in the Talava System of the Caleston Rift. The frigate was assailed by a pair of sloops, known vessels of the Iron Fangs Pirate Group, over the planet of Kaushus. The pirates later launched a boarding action against the Drasictus, but it was repelled by the ship's crew. The pirates fled after the frigates Frasisu Dractin and Henacter Vral came to the assistance of the Drasictus. The attack is believed to be in response to the creation of the Maitrum Maximum Security Prison on the system's third planet, which is slated to begin operation within the next three months."
