Wayne King-Meiouf : Welcome to the newest hub

Professor Wayne King-Meiouf of the University of Proxima

Over the last few years the DDS has conducted parallel programmes of decentralisation from GHQ and collecting around a number of "hubs". These hubs, located in the Proximan, Solaris and Liberation systems are if you like the traffic islands of the DDS where most shipping transits through and where major production and infratsurtcure bases are located.

Now is looks like Loeuss will become the 4th hub in the DDS, the planet is located deep in Remedian space and is fairly close to the Utrek and Bolitic borders so might not seem the most obvious location for a "hub" but with the army looking set to move many of its units there and the planet already used extensively for training (and DDS Training may move their HQ there indeed) Loeuss will become one of the major planets in the DDS system, it is also the most logical point for shipping in transit to and from the Raegris to the core DDS worlds.

Loeuss is also, of course, a highly strategic point in the DDS due to its location as mentioned above. If the DDS get into any more wars with the likes of the Utrek and Bolitic in future (which is fairly likely lets face it) then they will have a ready made launch point for any operations. On the flip side they will also present their enemies with a very tempting target...
