Operation Hard Thrust begins

An OpSec breach has revealed the fleet for the DDS operation against the Utrek incursion into the DMZ, Operation Hard Thrust. Its thought the leak was orchestrated by DDS GHQ though to scare the Utrek into withdrawing, the fleet being sent against them is certainly impressive. Easily the most powerful fielded since the Utrek War.
