The New DDS held another media briefing today where they commented more on Benito's fleet which is now said to number 30 ships. "We believe he has 4 Soulaki battlecruisers which is a considerable force. Twelve of the ships we think are Cosmos cruisers." General Inept of MI told the media, "The rest of the fleet is a mixture of Molentic and Kalahati Tuul. We think more of the former than the latter. Overall its a decent fleet. We have unconfirmed reports of another Cosmos joining the Benito side too."
A battle between the fleets of Benito and the HCS is thought imminant.
