A new frigate has joined the fleet. Arafura Sea class (Terran Sea C2) F149 Philippine Sea was dedicated at a ceremony at Solaris and has set out on it's first patrol near the Utrek DMZ. The first Fulcrum class special forces transport A601 Fulcrum has also begun trials and is expected to enter service (in a more low-key ceremony) at the end of the year. The DDS have updated the communications and navigational systems to DDS standards and will add extra DDS systems next year.
The ageing class of Coril shuttles will receive a long-needed update. Coril 2107 Update A (CO2107UA) will be carried out over the next few months and includes improvements to navigational systems, main computer, various software updates, improved docking facilities and refurbished interiors.
