The DDS have managed to land elements of the 1st Fire Support Battalion on Delta 9 to help support ground operations there. Around 24 ATC-107C self-propelled guns were landed during a window opened up by a DDS fleet presence in orbit. The artillery is expected to support the next offensive planned for next week.
The DDS now hope to wrap up the ABBOs on Delta 9 early in the new year. Attention will then turn to Malau however this will likely be a much tougher fight given the time the ABBOs have had to dig in and build their forces.
