Operation Western Pheonix has officially ended with a gala dinner aboard the flagship D154 Evolution for senior officers of the DDS and Aritan ships which took part plus Voth officials. Some ships have already begun the journey home though some will remain at Voth and be attached to Force Voth for a short period to allow Force Voth ships to have some R&R before returning to GHQ.
The Aritan ships are also preparing to return to New Arit but will be replaced by a Solaris class frigate. The Aritans say they will maintain a ship in Force Voth as part of their commitment to the DDS efforts in the area.
The DDS are already looking to their next exercise deployment with 4 Pulsar bombers being selected for the as-yet unnamed operation which will include live nukes and a variety of ground attacks. The deployment will begin late in April.
