Helnikan Air Base on Helnikan Island, the future home of DDS GHQ, has been declared operational (though the runway has been in regular use since last week). The air base will allow much easier supply of materials and personnel to the island, large parts of which are now multiple construction sites. A second longer runway is also under construction and is expected to be ready by December.
Top priority now is getting the new port at Ren's Bay operational. Several quays have been completed though cargo handling equipment has yet to be installed. Roads are being laid from the bay to the air base and major construction sites. DDS Commander Firefly is to visit the island tomorrow, from the temporary GHQ at nearby DDS Communications he said that everything was proceeding very well.
