Fleet news round-up (Neptune)

The fastest ship in known space, the Neptune destroyer, has returned to service after an update of it's engine and hyperspace fleet systems. Performance has been noticably improved with the ship now able to sustain 1000c for a full thirty minute dash. It also has a new top speed of 1033c (though this can only be sustained for a couple of minutes). The DDS are now working on getting the ship able to maintain a six-hour cruise at 1000c though this may not occur for some time.

Two more Pentekonter patrol boats have entered service, 3510 Homer and 3511 Euripides. Now over half of the class has been built. 3511 is the first to Mod 2 standard with a number of improvements to internal systems. Finally Coril class shuttle 8102 Susan has been transferred to the Remedian fleet and thus renumbered 8102R.
