Maccabree Transport Captured in Seitia Sector
FABULA, KRONIKON IV—A Maccabree troop transport en route to reinforce the Nagai occupying force at Manpha was ambushed by forward elements of the Third Battle Fleet in the Trefinnene system, three parsecs distant from the transport’s intended destination. Though the vessel’s snubfighter escorts resisted its capture, all four Nagai craft were soon disabled and the two hundred Maccabree warriors were forced to surrender to the Alliance of Free Planets.
Captain Kiva Ben, commanding officer of the Alliance frigate Mon Rorma, received the cyborgs’ initial truce-byte, while Commodore Mungri Vabb led the formal surrender negotiations. “Their only condition was that they be allowed to continue operating their battlesuits while in our custody,” explained the commodore in a report transmitted over the government’s public holofeed. “Though they have access to weapons, the suits are necessary for their survival, and I trust the Maccabree have the good sense to refrain from attempting to break out of the brig.”
While the cyborgs were transported to a prisoner facility on an undisclosed planet, the Third Battle Fleet went on to spearhead the Alliance’s counterattack at Manpha. Nagai forces are reportedly suffering heavy casualties without the support of their Maccabree confederates, but still maintain control of the planet’s main population centers. Alliance casualties are unknown.
