A DDS team has arrived at the capital world of the ancient Vosun-Voth Star Empire to hold talks with them. The DDS are keen to have an alliance with the Vosun-Voth including have stopping rights (the ships being allowed to stop at VV ports for repair and refuelling) for their warships at VV ports. The DDS have offered to help the VV with propulsion technology in return for stopping rights and some other unspecified military help. An unconfirmed report says the DDS would like to base a long-range surveillance station on Vang (which would be able to keep an eye on Utrek territory nearby) and a subspace communication relay station which would help bring the Raegris (Vosun Voth territory is between themselves and DDS space) into the DDS network.
Vosun-Voth ships are good though the VV lag behind on space propulsion badly, their fastest ships can only attain around 230c. The VV are keen to get up to 500c at least. It is possible the VV may also trade their innovative anti-matter shower weapon with the DDS (which has been proven to defeat DDS shields) in return for other DDS technical help.
