The DDS Politburo has begun a 3 day meeting discussing the changing astral-political spacescape, especially the changing threat matrix and how the DDS can adapt to it. Although the meeting is in lockdown and no official news will be released until the weekend at the earliest DDS Commander Firefly said beforehand that he expected the DDS would have to build a "bigger, better" fleet.
The Shiner has already begun a review of the DDS' finances with a view to boosting the ship building budget and Knobhead has begun a review of the DDS fleet. A bigger fleet is a given it seems, the Politburo just need to decide exactly what more they will build and when.
