DDS Space Fleet reorganised

The Deputy Head of the Space Fleet Von Kane has announced some changes to how the fleet is organised. Traditionally the fleet has been split into three commands (Combat, Patrol and Logistics) and assets from these commands split between the three DDS sectors : DDS North, DDS Centre and DDS South. From now on these sectors will be administrative only with assets instead allocated to home ports and not sectors.

For example an Isometric 41A allocated to Patrol Command may be home ported at Mila in the Remedian Belt but no longer will it be assigned to a "DDS North" fleet. The change is subtle but means the DDS are to do away with the 3 sector fleet commander roles instead fleet commanders will be assigned to a fleet deployment when needed.
  • The July Wave exercise has been cancelled for this year. The deployment was used as a cover for forces used to bring down the old regime but it has been decided to not run the exercise now because of the losses incurred by the New DDS Army in the battle.
  • Director Sea Urchin has said that all current procurement programmes will be honoured. There had been a query if the order for 48 Cherrybee CBH-90 helicopters would continue as the helicopters had been ordered for use by the Hoods. Sea Urchin has said that the helicopters will be useful assets for patrol and general utility.
