After helping the DDS with their latest battle against the ABBOs (the Porquatians destroyed the latest wave of ABBO troops and helped turn the tide in the battle at Proxima Centauri) the Porquatians have now formally requested to join the DDS. They said they wish to become a Tier 1 ally on a par with the Raegris and integrate their fleet with the DDS.
One problem with the Porquatians joining however is that the Aritans will not like it. It is about than 10 years since Porquat 640 had a war with New Arit, destroying the Aritan fleet of the time and attacking the planet causing 1000s of deaths. The Aritans say they have not even begun to forgive the Porquatians. It may well be the DDS will have to choose between an existing ally who needs support and a new ally who come with an existing fleet of powerful warships. With the current war it may be an easier decision than expected to have to make.
