"Trent Bahner, roving reporter with IGAN, here on the scene. Residents of the stage two colony Pluto were startled this evening by a brilliant light show over the western continent of Greenventure. The cause of this display is the first space battle ever to take place in an Altoid controlled system. While most developing colonies have a small compliment of Homeguard ships as a safety precaution against pirates and space debris, they have never seen battle before. Hold on a sec....
The Ministry of defense has issued a statement saying that an unknown vessel appeared suddenly and caught the Homeguard by surprise. The automatic defensive systems kicked in before the crew could identify the vessel and it was quickly destroyed. They believe the ship to be one of the mysterious vessels of the CheekyBugger race based on tactical data and initial investigations into the debris. Little contact has been made with this secretive race from far across the universe, although there is much speculation in scientific circles about their ability to avoid detection so easily. Hmm, it looks like their fancy stealth technology backfired on them today. This is Trent Bahner reporting in full sensevise from Pluto. Remember to stay tuned to IGAN for all your inter-galactic news.

We would like to send our appologies to the Cheekybuggers in regards to the incident which occured in Pluto orbit. It was an accident, our fleet at Pluto was caught by surprise and simply had incorrect orders. We have taken steps to prevent a repeat of this event in the future. We hope that this will not cause any lasting damage to our race relations.
W. Green, Ministry of Extra-Altoid Relations

Greetings to the Altoid peoples.
Cheekybuggers are happy with your response and are most pleased that relations between our two races have not been permanently damaged.
Now that you've explained the situation we see how this could have happened.
Altoid scouts on peaceful missions are more than welcome to continue in their exploration of our part of the galaxy.
Regards - Steve
