The ABBO fleet approaching GHQ has sped up after the departure of the troop ships to join the ABBO forces at Malau. Around 120 warships are now speeding towards the Proxima Centauri system and will be in a position to give battle later today. Standard ABBO operating practice is to hold off and let its ships recharge after a lengthy voyage however so the DDS are not expecting the ABBOs to give battle immediately.
The fleet approaching Liberation is thought to be around 23 hours from the Liberation system and the DDS think the ABBOs may plan to launch both attacks simultaneously.
