In other news, today a Customs patrol corvette came under attack by forces under command of infamous Unaffiliated Lands
warlord Abdullah Rashid. The corvette was attacked in sea zone between NIR territory and UAL, by four of warlord's speed-
boats armed with small arms and light cannons. The boats managed to damage the corvette and inflict casualties, until
mercenary frigate MPKS Protector, part of the Peacekeeper mercenary organization, intervened and drove the boats off.
"These guys just showed up from nowhere and started spraying us with rounds left and right. We were taking casualties,
but then these Peacekeeper dudes came and gave those freakin pirates hell of a beating"Commented XO of the corvette.
The Peacekeepers managed to destroy two of the boats and damage others, and the remaining guerillas were captured by
marine units in the nearby islands. This is the first time when warlords' forces attack Imperial forces. Usually they
have attacked mercenary and corporate ships, but they've stayed away from government forces until now.
