The DDS are understood to have sent diplomatic messages to the Argon faction of the 7 Sa Sao with a view to trying to form an alliance with them. The DDS have had their troubles with the Argon though over the last couple of years the Argon have been quiet and haven't encroached on DDS territory near Starbot.
It is not known how successful such an overture might be especially as the Argon contain leaders like Toko and Kira who are known to hate the DDS but Commander AP said that "The unthinkable must be thought. We must think outside of the box and approach the future with a full spectrum narrative in mind."
