The celebrations were toned down somewhat, and the two planned guests of honour (Ronald and Windscorpion) could not turn up but the DDS still celebrated 25 years since its founding with a ceremony at GHQ and a flypast in orbit by a number of DDS warships led by the oldest warship in service SS Beta Centauri.
Also taking part was one of the preserved Pulsar cruisers SS Central America. To everyones surprise the ship traveled past Orbital HQ under its own power. The ship has been restored for sub-light travel in the Proximan system on events like this though its power is provided by a mobile nuclear battery as the original reactor array was decommissioned.
DDS Commander AP said that the next 25 years of the DDS would see ever greater professionalism and personal growth.
