Porquatians deny they are to join the war

The Porquatian government has come out with a statement denying it will join the war, saying it will maintain it's neutrality. The DDS have also said there are no such talks however they did say a DDS and Porquatian meeting was held a few days ago to discuss various undisclosed matters.

A military alliance would be controversial on both sides. It is less than 10 years since the old Porquatian fleet was destroyed by the DDS and the other central powers and only a few years since the lifting of military sanctions and restrictions on rearmament. The Aritans are still rebuilding the damage caused to their planet by the Porquatian invasion.
