Aritans ready to step up to the plate

One of the features of the "DDS in the 2110s" report as presented by Sea Urchin this week was a larger role for the DDS' allies. The Aritans, who rightly regard themselves as one of the DDS' main allies, today said that they were ready to play a full part in DDS operations.

A statement from the Aritan government said that the Aritans were ready to do their share and they would be contributing 2 Intrepid II class destroyers to the defence of Voth later this month, the DDS having requested this contribution a few days ago. The Aritans also increased their order for MQ-5AA Ferret UCVs to 75.

Update : AS 02 Youanki and AS 05 Tulan Lanu have already departed to join Force Voth and are expected to reach Voth in 2 weeks.
