A spokeshood from The Hoods today told reporters that the Hoods were indeed getting a Solaris class ship. 3805 Gemini has been given to the Hoods and has been renamed 3805H Hood. The H is a new code for ships operated by the Hoods of course.
The ship will be operated by a mixed crew of DDS and Hoods until enough Hoods have spaceship experience and a full Hood crew can be put in place. The spokeshood did not comment on the rumour in some publications that the Hoods have managed to get an advanced Utrek cloaking device via a third party and will have it installed aboard their ship.
