The Starbotians are (with the Remedians) the oldest and closest allies to the DDS having joined as Tier 1 allies back after the First Utrek War. However the Argon-Aldebra situation which has so far cost Starbot 2 ships from its small fleet and a perceived dithering by the DDS has put the alliance under pressure.
The main opposition leader on Starbot K-2 has blasted the DDS response as being "invisible". "The DDS seem content to let the Starbotians die while they wander around lost wondering what to do." he told a rally. K-2 is thought to be seeking S101's job and a rising discontent and anger on Starbot is boosting his profile dramatically.
Even the Starbotian leadership are having doubts. B-B, S101's deputy, is reported to have wondered what the DDS are doing.
