Viceroy Caratore has congratulated MBO-New Sparta for luring the so-called Real DDS into a trap on Solaris and coming very close to total victory over the rebels. Caratore said that Real DDS escaped by the skin of their teeth, their ship badly damaged and their reputation in tatters. Caratore said the trap has been a joint effort of MBO and NS elements and showed the true power of the "holy partnership".
Caratore said Real DDS were now an irrelevance, "old men and has beens trying to relive old glories". He said they were obsolete and it was likely in 2123 Windscorpion and the rest of his team would face total defeat.
