The ABBO fleet is reported to have changed course and is now heading directly for New Arit and is expected to be in a position to attack by Thursday. Pretty much the entire Aritan fleet has been assembled at Arit but there are no DDS ships in the area though one or two on nearby patrol routes could be redirected in time. The DDS have said they will not send a fleet from DDS Centre as it would not reach Arit until the end of next week at the earliest.
The Aritans have said they will fight to the last man and should put up a decent fight with their old but upgraded ships but are unlikely to able to prevail against 300 ABBO warships.
