DDS made 1.6 billion zarks from arms sales in 2109

The DDS have announced that the DDS made 1.6 billion zarks in profit from arms sales in 2109, mostly sales of ships built by their joint-company with the Raegris. A backlog of orders means that (assuming no cancellations and everyone pays) the DDS is assured at least a billion zarks a year for 2110 and 2111 though new sales will be needed for later.

The challenge for the DDS is to keep the number of sales going which is likely to prove more difficult as times goes on and the most likely and natural customers have already bought ships.
