The HCS have offered help to the DDS against the Utrek in a notable development showing the thawing of relations between the 2 former enemies. Three minesweepers and 2 transport ships have been loaned to the DDS (with HCS crews) and 2 Molentic Tuuls have performed "aggressor" combat training with the DDS fleet. The HCS have also given the DDS some intelligence on Utrek tactics.
If the Utrek do attack the DDS then its likely the HCS would also be in the firing line so the offer of help is not that surprising.
