The DDS have offered Tier 1 DDS membership to Porquat 640, a move that will almost certainly see New Arit leave the DDS. However the DDS will probably not be too unhappy with that as the Porquatians will bring a powerful fleet to the party.
A DDS negotiation team is said to be on Porquat 640 and the Porquatians may sign an agreement to join as soon as next week. A DDS Engineering team is rumoured to be already holding talks with the Porquatians about integrating the Porquatian fleet into the DDS', though no talks on technology transfer have yet taken place.
