Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Chelsea Adams, was on the scene of total disorientation on the Promenade deck within minutes of the first blast. "We are fortunate that there were no fatalities, though we have civilians in a critical condition, most of the injuries are superficial and many treated in the makeshift triage centre in the Box of Delights."

Meanwhile, the station has gone onto red alert as three ships made a forced docking in the CCDC (Central Core Docking Complex). Several hails remain unanswered and currently the marines are aiding station security in containing this breach. An inside source informed the Commander, David Davies, that a rogue Maquis sect are responsible for both the explosions and the ships currently docked inside, but a new threat is nearing the station - an Ambassador Class starship with no markings is approaching DS5 with weapons hot.

We will bring you more news as it happens.
