Violence engulfed Cocoon's Main Concourse this past Saturday night as a group of heavily armed combatants penetrated the city's forcefield dome in an unmarked dropship, launching what has been described as a "full-scale assault" against the AICHI Intersolar facility that left 8 dead and at least 20 injured, and cost the megacorp an estimated 2 million credits in property damage.

The attacking force, which included powered infantry and two spider-tank mobile artillery units, engaged AICHI Security forces in a heated battle, temporarily gaining access to the AICHI Building before finally being repelled.

It is currently unknown whether these attackers were mercenaries hired by a rival corporation, terrorists, or members of one of the pirate bands that have been preying on orbital shipping with increasing frequency over the past several months.

ONN will bring you more on this story as it develops.
