Recently a DDS team has been conducting an in-depth review of the Bolitic fleet using intelligence assets, open source information and drawing on intelligence from the Dinos and Raegris. Their report was presented to the DDS today and makes for worrying reading insiders have said. It is thought that DDS estimates as to the size of the Bolitic fleet are off by some margin.
The DDS estimate that the Bolitic have, for example, 55 Snarl battlecruisers but the team thinks that this number is in reality near to 80. "Previous Bolitic fleet estimates have erred to much on the side of caution and also have made assumptions as to the Bolitic armed forces using a DDS mindset." the team leader General O'Reilly said. "The Bolitic structure is totally unlike the DDS with the Bolitic fleet in reality consisting of many smaller fleets which operate together under the overall rule of the Emperor. By thinking 'Bolitic' we have found much higher levels of ships and manpower."
The team also issued a warning as to the capabilities of the upgraded BS4040A Snarl. "The old Snarl was already a very powerful warship but slow and lumbering. Like a powerful man but drunk so you could evade him easily. The new Snarl is definitely that man sobered up and high on caffeine!"
The team will feed into updated Bolitic fleet estimates at a later stage. Sea Urchin warned that it would be a mistake to immediately assume the team was right and the old way was wrong. "We will carefully consider the report." he said.
