Year's final exercise (Southern Spirit) moved to Rim Worlds

The DDS have named their planned final exercise of the year, Southern Spirit, and they have moved it's location from Remedian space to the Rim Worlds near Charlotte, recent scene of a Tarbotian incursion. The DDS say that the deployment will become a semi-permanent deployment like Force Voth afterwards.

One problem is in persuading the Dinos and Raegris to continue to take part in this deployment. The Raegris are known to have signed up because of the proximity to their own space, the Dinos because of the proximity of their base on Loeuss (though are likely to be still happy with the exercise location if the DDS can include some "ABBO training").

The exercise is due to begin in mid-November.
