Admiral Lord Santanocheev, who has been out of sight since for several

Dentus/Regina (0601-C979500-A)
By TNS Staff Writer
A small force of Vargr raiders today struck an outlying outpost in this
system, killing three and wounding another seven. It is believed that the
raiders are the remnants of a former military unit, now renegades, since
the primary purpose of the raid seemed to be to acquire supplies and spare
parts for starships.
A spokesman for the Admiralty stated that such raids are to be expected
since a number of Vargr units refused to surrender, and evidently intend
to continue hostilities. Forces from Vice-Admiral Elphinstone's command
have been detached to run down and destroy the renegades.

A spokesman for the naval forces under command of Vice-Admiral Elphinstone
stated today that a number of Vargr renegades are still at large in the

admits that a small core remains to threaten shipping in the region.
