The DDS has announced all sales and technical links to the HCS and Clone companies will no longer be viable and have begun programmes to produce Pangaea LPDs in their entirety instead of having the shell made by the HCS. A Raegris company has also been given a contract to produce a new minesweeping suite to replace SPECNES + Pave Yellow early in the next decade. Coril-B will also now be wholly made by the DDS.
For their part the HCS now are looking elsewhere for engine technology to re-engine some of their oldest freighters. A HCS spokesclone said the Clones would be more aggressive in the export market. However the Clones need a partner with which to develop advanced technology especially propulsion, an area in which they lag the DDS and Dinos badly.
