The first step in Helnikan Island becoming the DDS' new GHQ has been achieved with the island being linked to the DDS' network via a microwave link to DDS Communications HQ. Two buried fibre-optic links will also be completed by the end of the year and a satellite link will also be established.
Work is progressing well on a 150m deep excavation at the site of the new GHQ, work is also proceeding on a new port at Ren's Bay. Finishing touches are being made to the first runway at the air base on the island. This runway will be a temporary surfaced one though will enable a greater flow of personnel and materials to the island. Work on the permanent runways and air base infrastructure will begin soon.
