AP wants UNP armed forces to be integrated with the DDS and this will begin the process. The UNP armies on the whole are mostly infantry but the DDS think these troops can provide the bulk of manpower while the DDS concentrates on armour, transport and artillery. Porquat 640 and the Raegris are also likely to take part though they may only be involved in space escort duties. Two of the 1st Division's brigades are already Remedian.
- The environment of Delta 9 continues to be badly degraded by the radiological mayhem unleashed by the ABBOs during the war though UNP inspectors say the peak of the radiological spread has been reached though a large part of Delta 9 is expected to be uninhabitable for at least 2 years with some parts no-go zones for decades to come.
- A Utrek general on a visit to Castaris 9065A, a Free Eritran State, has said that the war with the Mantae may last for "decades". He said there was no prospect of the war ending anytime soon with both sides having reached a stalemate. The DDS have eagerly pounced on this news as a Utrek embroiled on a never ending war with the Mantae would likely preclude the Utrek from being much of a threat to themselves.
