The first of four big exercises in the new DDS calendar is due to begin at the start of March. Ground Shock 2114 will include ground attack, amphibious landings, mock combats, special forces, electronic warfare and mine sweeping. As can be imaged the fleet to be assembled for the exercise, which will last 2 weeks, is large though not all ships will be needed throughout.
Firefly however wants all the ships to be present in a cohesive force throughout the duration of Ground Shock even if not needed (the amphibious warfare ships will be not used in the first week for example). Despite protests from The Shiner at the costs involved Firefly thinks such a big and visible display of DDS power will be a useful reminder to the DDS' rivals.
Operations will take part mainly in Remedian space (a Remedian ship will also take part). Director of Space Operations Caratore will lead the operation.
