EBN Breaking News: Violent Impact near Atlas Haven
The Calypso Defense Force (CDF) has issued an official warning to all colonists as the previously hijacked Solar-9 transport vessel tragically crash-landed south of major settlement Atlas Haven earlier today, and was promptly seized by Umbranoid fighters.
In a surprising development, the ship did not slow down or attempt to evade orbital sensors as it approached Calypso; instead ploughing through the atmosphere in an uncontrolled descent, the suboptimal angle and erratic movements ripping parts from the hull as it tumbled to the surface and struck the Limnadian ridge at high speed.
Based on movement patterns CDF analysts believe that this seeming loss of control and subsequent crash was either due to the pirates having caused more damage to the ship than anticipated, or from some of the crew attempting to regain control of the ship.
Sources in the CDF also tell us that troopers and emergency rescue services were on standby and ready to move in to secure the ship, but that before they could reach the crash site it was discovered that a group of Umbranoid warriors had somehow already opened an Orb and seized control of the wreckage and surrounding area.
This region has now been placed under strict surveillance, and a warning has been issued urging colonists to exercise extreme caution.
Calypso Authorities have also confirmed that these Umbranoid likely belong to a different group than the tribe that previously settled on the Eudorian west coast. This new faction appears to be more socially and technologically advanced, and may now also be armed with advanced armor and weaponry looted from the Solar-9 wreckage.
