Operation Red Sparrow is a major amphibious exercise being carried out by the DDS on Loeuss with Dino, Remedian and Aritan forces taking part. It is understood the exercise began 2 days ago and will continue until early next week with a landing of troops from the DDS and Dino armies and other training scenarios. The DDS say that at the moment the New DDS Army has not been called for to fight in the war but that may end soon so the opportunity is being taken to have a "final test".
The Orchid has taken personal control of the operation and a very powerful DDS and Remedian fleet has been assembled for the exercise which will also include ground attacks by Rome corvettes, Prowler and SS-D special forces raids and other training. The Dinos have sent 8 ships including 2 of their Provider-EDA transports on their first deployments.

The operation has been kept top secret until today but DDS observers say it now explains why the DDS fleet has seemed so much more stretched than it should be in recent days because of the large number of ships taking part.
