An Aritan Solaris II class frigate, AS14 Helunam,has joined the Force Voth deployment. The DDS is trying to get more allied involvement so it can reduce it's own force there. The DDS are hoping that the Aritan and Sirikwanese ships now present can take over from one of the Terran Sea or Isometric frigates so it can be released back to GHQ.
The DDS is known to be preparing Force Charlotte which will be a semi-permanent detachment to protect and patrol the Rim Worlds which recently were visited by the Tarbotians. Force Charlotte is likely to be based on the Southern Spirit exercise due to begin in the area in a week.
