The DDS have turned down the Porquatians' request to join the DDS as Tier 1 allies however they are willing to trade what has been called "QPM Plus" in return for Porquatian missile technology. QPM Plus is said to be an improved version of the Quad Phase Missile already available to export customers but with the targeting sensors and countermeasures of the TPM-2 and some refinements to the phasing technology (though still falling some way short of being a TPM weapon).
The Raegris have told the DDS they must not give the Porquatians TPM technology as without the safeguards of an alliance it is unlikely the technology will remain out of enemy hands (i.e. the HCS) for long. It is unlikely the Porquatians will accept this deal however as they could just buy QPMs if they wanted them anyway.
