Operation Strawberry Field has begun with a 2 day exercise by DDS ships near Starbot. Later in the week 3 ships from the Starbot fleet will join up and take part in a series of exercises. The training deployment is expected to last until the end of the month when Windscorpion is due to arrive and the young men will perform for him.
Admiral Von Kane, head of the 4th Fleet and in charge of the operation said that the training of his forces would be enhanced and interoperability with the Starbotians would be greatly developed. He did not say, but is also true, that the deployment would be a useful show of strength with the 7 Sa Sao operating in the area.
As for Aldebra the 7 Sa Sao have yet to show the colonists what the "consequences" are for not leaving after they issued a warning in June.
