There are rumours that 40 Bolitic warships, including the warships of 3 principal houses, has departed from Castarian bound for the DDS. The DDS blogosphere has erupted since the rumours were first posted on a Raegris military blog though the DDS have not confirmed or denied anything.
As a precaution however it is understood the DDS has upped it's alert status from 4 to 3 and put the ships of the 1st Fleet on a 2 hour readiness status. A Rome corvette has also been ordered to make a diversion from it's usual patrol circuit to cover the area of space between the Bolitic and DDS space that an attack fleet would come.
