[ALL] IRRK: ICC Convoy Attacked
ICC Convoy Attacked
February 06, 29483 - [Global]
IRRK - During the night of February 4th, 29483, a heavy armed ICC convoy was attacked, and decimated by Red Freedom forces in Andromeda. There were no survivors according to the first responders.
At 01.33 AM RST, ICC Convoy 00425-4352, counting 8 cargo transports & 5 escort crafts, was on a regular supply run from Andromeda to Clon**** when they came under attack from what appears to have been heavy artillery shells which took out the lead escort craft with the first wave. This was followed by heavy fire from automatic weapons from the right side of the road.
At 01:34 AM, the first alarm went off at the ICC HQ who quickly dispatched an armed battle group, to come to the aid of the convoy, but their arrival at 02:07 AM, all that remained were burning wreckage and the bodies of the 60 man escort with no signs of the cargo transports. The words; Down with the Omni-Tek lapdogs, had been painted on one of the destroyed escort crafts.
Sources inside the ICC have revealed that the investigators estimate that somewhere between 200 and 250 heavily armed commandos participated in the attack and the lack of any tracks leading out of the combat zone would suggest that the attackers have access to large sized dropships, a feat only Red Freedom is known to use.
What is most distressing, according to our informants, is that there were no signs of a dropship in the vicinity, pointed to the fact that the dropship might have been cloaked, something only possible by using military equipment. If these rumours are true, then this represents a whole new range of possibilities for Red Freedom. Using cloaked ships, could lead one to assume that they can now strike everywhere, at any time.
The ICC have refused to comment on these rumours, or if any actions will be taken on their part against Red Freedom.
