The first major deployment of 2109 has begun, Operation Western Phoenix which will take place around the Voth Free Republic space using a mixed fleet of DDS and Aritan ships. The DDS fleet led by C102 Australasia left Proxima 7 today and will rendezvous with the Aritan destroyer AS05 Tulan Lanu at Voth later this month.
The first phase of the deployment will be training in the area of the VFR nearest to Bolitic space which has been the subject of frequent incursions by Bolitic ships.
