SANDRA Ether Outpost Lost to Kuvexian Raiders

Kyoto, Yamatai -- Moon-day morning, Star Army announced it had lost contact with its small outpost on planet Ether, and that A SAINT scout dispatched to investigate found signs of a violent, sudden raid and a frantic effort to defend the base. During the Second Mishhuvurthyar War, Star Army Forces and the YSS Eucharis fought against NMX Nekovalkyrja and other enemy units in the icy, frozen wastes of Ether and conducted raids on NMX Bases there. The tiny base set up by the YSS Eucharis during that time had remained on the planet to keep a flag on the icy world, and was manned by just two soldiers: Jôtô Heisho Tokuhichi Erika, a soldier who the YSS Eucharis had rescued from the Mishhuvurthyar in the Sbuhfaba star system, and Itto Hei Arnbjorg Hanai, who was sent to the base as a punishment in fall YE 35 for her involvement in an incident of violence against a civilian during a protest at the Star Army Recruiting Center in Kyoto outside the old Uesureyan Fortress. Their bodies were both discovered at the scene along with five destroyed Kuvexian vehicles and the blood of twelve unidentified Kuvexian individuals whose bodies were not found. The Kuvexian Interstellar Navy denied its forces' responsibility for the attack; however SAINT believes this raid was carried out by mercenaries on their behalf.
