The DDS is pushing the UNP to make its protectorate in the Rim Worlds Charlotte a full member of the interplanetary body. The reason for this is that it would make Charlotte eligible for development funding for its infrastructure, and this the DDS want as they have big plans for their presence on Charlotte.
At present they maintain a small presence in the system due to a Tarbotian incursion some years ago, usually a Rome 46A or Isometric is stationed at the small orbital station. However the DDS plan a much more substantial presence on the planet, orbital defences and surface bases. Charlotte is very strategically placed especially since the recent expansion of the Tarbot Empire and would be an ideal regional hub for patrols and monitoring. The UNP will make a decision in a few weeks.
