Professor Wayne King-Meiouf of the University of ProximaThe pace of change is breath taking, the latest DDS change being the relocation from Proxima 7 to 5. This however is a rather overdue move which i know the DDS have been considering for some years as the edges of GHQ and Hexian City have grown ever nearer.
Years ago when Rotarios came to power he rebranded the DDS as the New DDS and promised a whole raft of changes. Indeed we did see some though the most notable change appeared to be the tyranny of the Hoods. On the whole the DDS remained pretty much as it had been before, and AP in his remix of the worst excesses of Rotariosism did not change things much either.
But now in a few weeks Firefly has changed the structure of the DDS, bringing in a new Territorial Force, the Internal Security & Special Forces division, reorganising the fleet, will move GHQ and there is likely to be more to come. One of the first things Firefly did ironically was remove the "New" prefix on the DDS name, ironic because the DDS he is rebuilding can pretty much be seen as a "New DDS".
So what next? Well i think we have seen the biggest changes for now, reorganisations that Firefly's lieutenants have been planning for some time. The next changes will wait now until the various DDS reviews on the fleet, non-space forces, special forces and technology report back over the next 12 months. If change is recommended then Firefly has shown that he will carry them out. The New DDS is here to stay!
