A fleet of just over 500 ABBO warships has just departed Malau and is headed towards Liberation. The DDS have been expecting this for several days and are building up as much of their fleet as possible near Liberation for what could be the key battle of the war. At current speed the ABBOs will reach the DDS by Sunday.
The ABBOs have left around 60 ships at Malau including some support ships. It is known that the DDS have considered launching an attack on Malau using the Starbotian fleet but a reconnaissance has detected two orbital defence platforms the ABBOs have placed in orbit (thought to have been taken with the invasion fleet in modules and assembled once Malau was conquered). These platforms are thought to be very formiddable and it is likely the DDS will hold off now until the result of the battle near Liberation.
The DDS could advance their fleet to meet the ABBOs but will hold off to delay the battle as long as possible. If they can delay the battle until Sunday or Monday then two extra ships will arrive from DDS North and a third ship will have completed repairs.
