Contact with [XIII] has been lost!

Numerous communication stations and relays have been unable to make contact with [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. [XIII]'s fate is unknown at this time, due to the lack of any communication coming out of [XIII] the worst has been expected.
