The DDS may becoming embroiled with a row with the shadowy 7 Sa Sao, a faction over which hardly anything is known. The row is over the planet of Aldebra, outside the UNP and beyond Starbot. The planet was unclaimed though had a climate suitable for colonisation. Recently some colonists from Terra, Proxima 5 and New Arit have set up a colony on the planet. Their hope is to form a new planetary colony and join the UNP at some stage.
However the 7 Sa Sao have recently sent a message to the colonists saying that the planet is claimed by them and they were preparing their own colony. The message from what was said to be the Office of the President of the Sa Sao Argon States said that the colonists should pack up and leave else face "consequences". The Starbotians have despatched a ship on the DDS' behalf and Admiral Sea Urchin is preparing to go to Aldebra to hopefully meet with the Sa Sao.
