The DDS have made an attack on ABBO positions on Delta 9 using a new weapon known as the Barrage Barge. This crude weapon platform was conceived and built in just 43 days by a joint team from DDS Engineering and DDS Research and consists of 3 independently powered Z5g cannons plus a data multiplexer.
The barge was towed over Delta 9 by a Quasar 15A cruiser and then pounded ABBO positions taking targeting data from the Quasar and an accompanying pair of frigates. The barge can be towed at up to 250c though has no propulsion of its own. The barge was a success though one Z5g had to be deactivated towards the end of the attack due to a datalink loss. The DDS retreated when an ABBO force was scrambled from a nearby holding area. Damage to ABBO positions on the planet was said to be "extensive".
