Operation October Onslaught 2112

The DDS have announced the line-up and programme for the 2112 running of the October Onslaught exercise early, as it will run at the start of the month and not the end like last year. A reason for this is scheduling with other nations, like last year the exercise will involve mock combats with third parties. This year the Raegris and Dinos will take part and 3 Dinomarks will join the exercise, with 2 more joining later on for the final exercises. Two Raegris warsahips will also join in. The ships involved will be :

H124 Inflexible (flagship)
H169 Sanger Alpha
M163 Sea Of Serenity
M126 Fury
A143 Jetstar

Last year's exercise was notable for a failed Bolitic renegade assassination attempt on DDS Commander (at the time) AP and the UNP President who were watching the exercise.

Bolitic attempt to kill AP, UNP President

Bolitic renegades have attempted to kill DDS Commander AP and the UNP President whilst returning from the Raegris Central District. Travelling on SS Musketeer with the October Onslaught fleet deployment AP was slightly injured in the attack which caused severe damage to the Missileer carrier.

The Bolitic somehow managed to get their hands on 3 TPM-1 missiles and an ex-military Dinomark XT which they mocked up to appear to be part of the Dino Army. They approached the DDS fleet asking for assistance with some technical problems. When the DDS grew suspicious the Bolitic fired. Luckily only 1 missile hit the Missileer otherwise it could have been destroyed and AP and the President killed.

AP transferred to H163 Vega and the Dinomark XT was destroyed by the DDS, a Bolitic Meltinan ship was also destroyed after it decloaked perhaps to continue the attack. It is not thought this attack was sanctioned by Emperor Melson but rather was the work of renegrade Bolitic hoping to start a war between the DDS and DTA. The DDS and DTA are now investigating how the Bolitic got their hands on the TPMs and Dinomark.

SS Musketeer is being towed back to Raegris Central District for repairs, AP and the President are thought to be returning to Proxima Centauri in SS Vega.
