Atomic Fist to give warning to Tarbotians

The DDS have announced their first exercise since the end of the war. Atomic Fist 2111 will take place in April and is expected to be a full demonstration of the DDS' ground attack and strike capabilities. Observers say it will give a clear warning to the Tarbotians.

The DDS are currently negotiating with neutral planet Orratai which lies between DDS and the former ABBO territory (which the Tarbotians are expected to annex) to use a planetoid under their ownership for the "live" attacks which will involve the Pulsar 12A strike squadron and the use of MRMs. Rome 46As and Quasar 15As equipped with ground attack weapons are also expected to be employed.

• TPM-G batteries at DDS GHQ and 5 other strategic positions across the DDS are to be upgraded with new radar multiplexes, improved data filtering and automated security systems.
