The DDS are bracing themselves for a further attack on Liberation by an ABBO fleet that left Malau yesterday. The fleet should reach Liberation by the middle of next week though often the ABBOs prefer to wait an extra day or two before attacking. DDS Commander The Orchid is travelling to Liberation to take personal charge of the forces there.
The DDS will not send any more forces though as there is the fear the ABBOs may be planning more than one attack. The latest reconaissance indicates around 50 to 60 ABBO ships are not at Malau as expected which could mean a second attack is also planned.
