While still reeling from recent fires and rock impacts, a small contingent of Alliance soldiers executed an armed raid on the Destiny enclave and parts of Hale's Moon earlier today.
Injuries were few and, fortunately, mostly light, according to Infirmary staff. The raiders, identified as Alliance, though not matching the known markings or transponder codes of the local 1st marine Raiders unit, were initially chased from the Destiny enclave by local residents. The raiders evacuated by shuttle, only to return a short time later with a larger force. This second force was also repulsed by a coordinated effort of the Hale's Moon Militia and members of Destiny's own internal self defense force.
The Alliance forces were based aboard a vessel identified as the Ticonderoga, which broke orbit before the IAV Abraham Sinkov could respond. The Ticonderoga is apparently an Alliance warship, but her transponder codes do not correspond to an active vessel. Alliance officials aboard the IAV Sun Tzu had no comment on the incident other than "We'll look into it."
Deputy Mayor Genni Foxtrot, speaking for the Mayor's office in Mayor Kawanishi's absence, was quoted as saying "We've been right civil with the Alliance for a while now. Not friendly, but not fighting either. Not sure who these jokers are, but they want to get frisky with us we'll show 'em them business end of a rifle."
