The DDS Politburo, in an emergency session, has declared war on the Argon faction of the 7 Sa Sao. This is following a number of attacks and acts of aggression against the DDS and Starbot culminating in the attack on SS Cicero that led to SFX's death.
DDS South has been put on RED alert (the rest of the DDS is officially also on RED though in reality will probably remain on ORANGE due to the regional nature of the threat). What the DDS will do in answer to Argon aggression is unknown.
