Australasian Navy Tracked Soviet Warships Suspected of Surveying OTO Satellites

5 Soviet warships suspected of surveying communications infrastructure in the Lyran Veil were shadowed by the Australasian Navy, Defense Secretary Lydia Djerrkura announced today. There was no evidence of any interference, and the USSR has denied the ships' movements were covert.

Our Analysis: OTO maintains hundreds of thousands of satellites across the Orion Arm that extend the range of military communication networks. Such infrastructure is routinely surveyed in peacetime, and sabotaged or destroyed in conflict.
