Call for three "response hubs"

With the President's blessing Zeppelin has revealed more about his review into NS' armed forces. A key recommendation is for three "response hubs" based on the edge of NS/UNP space. These would supplement NSIS' HQ and carry out intelligence gathering and analysis as well as being a staging post for special forces and rapid response. Zeppelin has suggested Starbot, Miliaris and a site in Remedian space for the hubs.

"NSIS is too centralised and this can cause delay, the response hubs would be closer to possible threats and faster to respond." Zeppelin said at a media briefing.

Zeppelin also says there should be a dedicated fast special forces ship. The former Fulcrum fast transport was never replaced he said and there was a need for a worm drive equipped ship that could host up to 40 Space Prowlers plus support staff and support operations.
