NS will enlarge it's orbital facilities over Aldebra within the next few months. New modules and a second maintenance port will be added along with a second fuel processing depot on one of Aldebra's moons. Once this work is completed NS say the number of ships deployed to the border system will be increased from the current five to twenty.
Observers say this could be intended as a reminder to Starbot to not support Real DDS. Aldebra is the closest NS base to Starbot and with twenty ships would have enough strike power to overwhelm the Starbotian fleet, plus be only a few hours away.
