At a joint press conference on Proxima 7 VP (Ops) Torus and Senator GBH announced that the expedition to explore new space would begin in mid April. Three NS and three Dino ships would form the expedition, with a Zephyr oiler accompanying the fleet to support it.
The ships to be involved will be decided within the next few days and will perform some joint-ops training in early April.
One bone of contention is who will ultimately be in charge of the expedition. Neither NS or the Dinos will accept the other having overall charge thus the expedition will be jointly run by the two respective commanding officers. One observer said this could cause problems in a highly stressed situation.
