The HCS have surprised the DDS by asking if they would be interested in a joint exercise later in the year. The HCS offer states they would be interested in a large amphibious operation with HCS landing ships being protected by DDS escorts.
The DDS have politely declined the offer saying they already have a major joint exercise planned for the Summer with the Raegris with 2 more exercises planned for later in the year. A DDS source who wished to not be named said the DDS suspected the HCS wanted to gain intelligence on the latest DDS weapons as they are becoming increasingly worried about the technology gap between the DDS and themselves.
