Contact with Optcap XIII has been lost!

Numerous communication stations and relays have been unable to make contact with Optcap XIII. Although, this is initial reporting numerous theories have been put forward about the demise of the ill-fated colony. It could have been destroyed, or simply political turmoil broke the colony down. Optcap XIII's fate is unknown at this time, due to the lack of any communication coming out of Optcap XIII the worst has been expected.
