Director of Operations Knobhead has issued a warning after Firefly unveiled plans for a large and powerful battle station in orbit over the new GHQ on Proxima 5. "We need to be careful we don't over concentrate power and resources in one area of space and neglect everywhere else." he said at a meeting of DDS Centre ship captains at DDS City. "We need to keep our borders and hinterland strong so we can present any future foe with a layered defence."
However Knobhead said he did agree with building the battle station but that it needed to be part of a wider system. "The problem with static defence is that... its static. An enemy could just choose to isolate it and fight elsewhere. For example the Tarbotians could leave Proxima 5 alone and lay waste to Solaris and other key DDS worlds instead. GHQ would be safe but the war would still be lost."
Firefly countered at his daily media briefing that defences elsewhere will not be neglected. "I agree with him [Knobhead] that static defence can be isolated but thats why it is just part of a planned system of automated monitoring stations, defence posts, fluid ship formations and static defence. The battle station will make GHQ a fortress but we plan to make the DDS itself one huge intergalactic fortress!"
