The DDS made a request to the Dinos for some ships to join their fleet to bolster their forces against the ABBOs. Previously the Dinos have said they would help the DDS once the Bolitic threat had ceased but have now said any help will not come this year.
The poor state of the Dino fleet, where much of the front-line fleet has been destroyed, plus a remaining Bolitic threat have been cited as reasons for not helping but it is thought also that Ronald and MBH no longer wish to help the DDS.
The Raegris are going to help the DDS however, 3 ships are en route to join the DDS fleet at Liberation (thought to be 2 DF-1 and an RC-2). The Aritans have also sent an Extender oiler.
