The DDS have announced they will build a new forward base for strategic bombers and other assets on an asteroid orbiting Barnard's Star. Ships such as the Quasar 15A would only be a few hours away from Paragon, the proposed site of the first Utrek intelligence base. Indeed Paragon is just within the current range of the MRM strike missile so bombers would not necessarily have to leave Barnard's Star to launch a strike (though in practice the DDS prefer to get within 1 light year). The DDS did not mention the Utrek base but it is very likely that this new base is a response to that.
Liberation is another future location for DDS strike assets (though this has already been announced) and this planet is at a similar distance to Paragon (around about 5-6 light years away).
