The DDS have reported on the damage to the Rathun's World Complex with the main orbital depot and docking facilities largely destroyed. Several hundred personnel were killed in the attack which saw the facilities sustain repeated strikes from the Zone multi-phasic thermonuclear missiles. The DDS say however that production facilities nearby were not damaged, these are thought to include a TPM production line and a new shipyard for export warships.
The DDS are preparing to send a fleet to attack the Zones. Because of the lack of assets in the area the Aritans have donated 2 of it's ex-DDS Intrepid destroyers to help protect Rathun's World. Its also reported that the Aritan ex-Porquatian Quagan class frigate is being used by the DDS for aggressor training.
