The DDS have denied media reports that the condition of the fleet is fast deteriorating due to the war and that if the war continues into 2111 then the DDS might not have a fleet able to continue the fight. The reports say that regular maintenance has had to have been abandoned because of the war, that added to the harder than usual operation and battle damage is leaving many ships in a poor state of repair.
One report claims there is an Isometric 41A frigate that cannot go above 376c because otherwise the stress would rip it apart. A Quasar 15A cruiser is also alleged to have suffered 4 radiation leaks from its reactor array over the last 6 weeks. The DDS have said these reports are untrue and that DDS Engineering are doing an "amazing job" in keeping the fleet in "as best a condition as can be expected".
