In a move said to have been planned for some time but the media are linking to the emergence of the 7 Sa Sao the Starbotians are funding an extra 2 Panther destroyers which will be crewed by Starbotians and based at Starbot. The 2 ships would bolster the defence of Starbot but also be available as general DDS assets too.
Two Panthers from FY2109's planned procurements will be delivered to the Starbotians who will add extra equipment to integrate the ships into their own communication network and also update the user interfaces to comply with Starbot standards (though will be easily switchable to DDS at the flick of a switch).
