The DDS are to shut 2 bases it maintains in Remedian space (DDS North sector) and transfer a third to the Remedians. About 450 million zarks is expected to be raised by the sale of land and the DDS will save about 75 million zarks a year in ongoing costs. The bases to be shut are a training facility on Loeuss and a listening post on Mila. A base on Remedia Prime will be transferred to Remedian control.
The DDS will use the money saved to boost defences in DDS South and facing the Rim Worlds, seen as a much more immediate threat than the Utrekians. An improved listening post is expected to be built on New Jakarta and improved orbital and ground facilities on Saeou and Malau. A new Combat Support Squadron has been formed and will be based at Malau, part of a number of changes in the DDS ORBAT as some ships are moved to DDS South.
