Parallax, the
Head of the Space Fleet, has confirmed that the
Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) is to be moved to
Aldebra. The RRF is a small force of cruisers kept in readiness (one ship on a thirty minute readiness, the others on six-hour) in case of emergencies. The RRF used to be based at
Proxima 7 but it is now thought that the RRF would be more usefully located in
UNDF South Sector.
The RRF will also be increased in size to five ships from the usual three. The move will be completed by the Autumn, the increase in the force size by early next year.
