AP said, "The Eritrans are not members of the UNP or DDS but they are our friends and we will stand by them. If the Clones do, as is rumoured, attack the Eritrans then we will send a fleet to intercept. If the HCS want to enter Eritran space then they'll have to come through us. The DDS will not fire the first shot but we will respond to any aggression with the full might of our weaponry."
Later on Director of Operations Knobhead clarified that the DDS will not shoot first, he acknowledged that it was a risk but said "I am confident our shields can hold up to an opening salvo from the Clones, the Clones should not be confident they can hold up to a returning salvo of TPMs and Z-cannon."
- The Clones are accusing the DDS of launching an info-attack on Woloron 12's orbital station. The space station's sensors and communications network was disabled for a few hours yesterday forcing all but the most vital operations to be halted. A virus was found to have entered the base's systems and was removed. The DDS have denied any involvement.
- Ronald has announced he will tour the DTA starting later in the month. He will visit Sirikwan, Yeng and the Voth and then do some exploring in the presently little explored territory beyond Voth and Bolitic space. Ronald is hoping new allies can be found out there, maybe new DTA members one day.
