DDS Commander AP has unexpectedly made an appearance on Molab in the strongest show yet of DDS support for the Eritrans. His visit was made in secret and took 10 days (starting from Proxima 7) in SS Cicero, his worm drive equipped Rome 46A flagship. As well as a show of support the trip also was a demonstration as to how fast the DDS could reinforce the Molabites if needs be, especially if the DDS send supplies from Starbot which is just 28 hours away for a worm drive equipped ship. In contrast a HCS fleet departing from Austini 55 would take around 3 days to reach Molab.
AP will hold talks with the Molab government and military, he has been accompanied by the army commander Zeppelin and it is thought a joint ground forces exercise will be discussed for later in the Spring. AP told Molab reporters that 2 worm drive equipped ships would soon be sent to Starbot as well as other "materials".
It is rumoured (though unconfirmed) that SS Cicero bought some "presents" for the Molabites in its hold including the latest sensor filtration modules for its fleet of Isometric-E frigates.
