As well the latest Quasar ILU C123 Boson has been completed though C128 Baryon has already left service to begin it's ILU. C123 Boson has become the new command of Torus and has begun a survey mission in the space between the Remedian Belt and Bolitic Confederacy.
Coril shuttle A552 Karen has been withdrawn after failing a structural test. The shuttle was the oldest ship in the DDS. Some other ships are said to be close to the same state and the DDS hope to withdraw the rest of the fleet by next year once the new Corils enter service.
