Kantalda army base opens

Kantalda, capital of the province of the same name built on the conquered ruins of ABBO space, has continued its build up into a powerful hub of the Tarbotian forces and a potential starting point for any future attacks on the Central Powers including the DDS.

The first of 2 army bases has now been completed and will be home to a legion of Tarbotian army soldiers and heavy weapons. Around 400,000 troops are expected at the base by 2118. When the second base is completed by 2120 nearly a million troops could be stationed on the planet and half a million more elsewhere in the province.

Work continues on a major military space dock in the Kantalda system which could be home to a 60 strong fleet of Tarbotian warships. A DDS source has said that there is no doubt that in a few years Kantalda will be home to a very powerful Tarbotian force though it would not be sufficient to attack the DDS or DTA without a considerably greater reinforcement.
