SMNA (Neshaten Military) Contact lost with Sensor Outposts - Monarchy Initiates travel advisory

Capital - Military officials have increased patrols after contact has been lost with three sensor outposts. These outposts, set up to serve as an early warning system for the home sector, were built almost forty years ago and each one had a staff of twenty personnel. With contact now lost, the Monarchy is worried that this may be a prelude to something more serious and has thus issued a travel advisory for any civilian ships headed in that direction. The Navy has authorized the creation of a special task force to provide escort duties to civilian freighter traffic, trade companies that operate in the area are being issued temporary military armament licenses, allowing them to use military weaponry on their own patrol ships, these licenses are only permissible in the eastern sector.
