The MRM is fast becoming the DDS' weapon of choice while they are in a holding phase of their battle with the ABBOs. The tactical flexibility of the MRM is also becoming apparent with the latest attack a prime example of the advanced "wait-then-strike" mode built into the missile.
Following the last attack the ABBOs dispersed their ships throughout the Malau system to prevent a MRM attack destroying more than 1 or 2 ships (and thus being a waste of a missile). However from time to time ships needed to be collected into larger concentrations for refuelling. A MRM launched by a Quasar 15A some 2 light years away was put into a holding mode at the edge of the Malau system then when around 15 ABBO ships were bought in for refuelling the DDS ship (thought to be a Panther 35A) lurking in the system then re-activated the MRM and guided it to attack the ABBO concentration. All 15 ABBO ships plus a resupply dock were destroyed.
