A fleet of around 240 ABBO warships has left Malau and is said to be heading for Liberation though it's intension is not yet clear. The DDS have been maintaining strong forces at the capital planet of DDS South and it is thought have completed upgrades to the orbital defence posts which include full rate of fire TPM2 launchers and Z5t turrets. Similiar upgrades to Proxima 7 and Solaris' orbital stations are also being carried out.
The DDS are also thought to have received several thousand space mines from the Raegris and they plan to mine space near Liberation. A minesweeping flotilla is being prepared at Solaris for departure to Liberation. How the DDS will lay the mines is unknown but one unconfirmed report states that a couple of River class transports have been modified for the role.
