The Orchid has taken personal command of a fleet to engage and defeat the ABBO/Bolitic invasion fleet that is approaching Solaris (and is due to be within range of the "engine room" of the DDS by late tomorrow). Unfortunately DDS Centre's fleet is quite depleted because of the Glowing Light deployment. That deployment has now been recalled but even the fastest ships in the deployment are weeks away from being back at DDS Centre.
The DDS still can muster a powerful fleet however and will fill in the gaps with Romes and leave Starsystems as a last ditch defence of Solaris and DDS GHQ. The Orchid is said to have ordered the fleet to a position half a light year from Solaris where the DDS will seek to do battle with the enemy thus leaving the option of withdrawing to Solaris if needs be.
