SS Hydra destroyed
The Solaris class frigate SS Hydra (FF3802) has been destroyed in combat with an unknown enemy, but suspected to be the Tarbotians. The frigate was on long range patrol LR014 on the route between New Jakarta and Lornaca Melnig when it was suddenly attacked by a force of unidentified warships. The Hydra was destroyed despite a heroic professional performance and is a credit to the New DDS which stands for personal development, targetted career progression and self-actualisation.
Lord Rotarios, hail to his professional name, has ordered the 1st DDS Fleet to the area.

Character Of The Week : Lakes
(the first of a new feature where we profile a notable character in the DDS universe, featuring one who has made a sizeable impact this week. to start with we look at the Deputy SS Commander Lakes)
Lakes' rise to power in the Dino Empire has been remarkable considering his lack of achievement and even greater lack of talent. He first rose to notice as a petty thug in Oojok's criminal gang. He did not have much status there. He was just behind the man who made Sleeze's hats in the gang's heirarchy. When Oojok left his criminal activities behind to concentrate on the Clone empire Lakes found himself out in the cold.
Lakes tried to take over the remnants of the gang himself but following a good kicking from the other members was persuaded to try his talents elsewhere. Lakes returned to his native Dino-Land where he made a name for himself as a pretty useless criminal. He tried pimping but kept being beaten up by his girls.
When M-B-H began his descent into darkness he happened upon Lakes in an SS detention centre that he had been touring at the time. He saw in Lakes the perfect yes-man and stooge. Lakes found himself hired by M-B-H.
As The Chosen One began to spin his web of depravity and doom Lakes found himself given an official role in the SS. Though he was despised by his fellow SS men as being a petty criminal instead of a refined criminal as is the SS norm. When M-B-H became Co-Emperor Lakes was promoted to Deputy SS Commander.
Following M-B-H's downfall Lakes found himself in the dock. However he discovered he had a talent for betrayal and he grassed on an SS plot to kill Jimmy. In return Lakes was cleared of all charges against him and allowed to keep his SS rank. Now Lakes seeks to take the vacant SS Commander post but many in the Empire despise him. Unfortunately for Lakes his exposure to the genius of M-B-H has led him to think that he is a cerebral assassin as well...

SS to elect new leader?
The feared security police of the Dino Empire the Security Section (SS) is taking the unprecedented step of electing it's new commander following the resignation of Stinkyson earlier this year. Co-Emperor Jimmy made the decision following a bloody jockeying for position by various factions including Lakes, the ally of M-B-H and head of the bestial Black Dragon Martyrs Brigade.
It is thought that Lakes was behind the bombing of SS Espionage HQ that killed Rindleson, a rival for the post, though no proof was found. Jimmy hopes that by putting the commandership to a vote it will stop the unpopular Lakes from rising to the role. The question of democracy has confused the SS who are used to crushing dissent under their jackboots not nurturing it.

Terran Sea class enters service
Issued by Central Control - April 27th 2105
After a delay of a few months the first two examples of the "Terran Sea" class frigate have entered service. The "Terran Sea", officially known as the 3200 Class is the latest advanced spacecraft to be unveiled by the DDS Fleet and shall enable the DDS to maintain it's enviable professional status. SS Caspian Sea (3201) and SS Black Sea (3202) were handed over to the DDS Fleet from DDS Space Systems at a ceremony attended by Lord Rotarios (blessed is his name!), General Action Painting and other V.I.Ps.
The Terran Sea frigate builds on the great success of the Isometric Production (3100 class) but is more than just a more advanced varient. The ship embodies the latest values of the New DDS, which stands for professional development, skills audit realisation and fruitful goal re-evaluation. All crew quarters come complete with an altar for professional worship plus leisure facilities and other wasteful activities have been removed to give the crew the freedom from happiness and the hard reality of endless toil. Oh such true joy!
The DDS plan to built 20 of these ships in total.
