Another Fulcrum class special forces transport has been added to the fleet, the ship is a Utrek High Speed Transport and where the ship came from is unknown but it is thought the ship was once owned by the Sirikwanese but sold to the DDS as part of the payment for Sirikwan's order for DDS ships. A603 Forefront and the other 2 ships have received a minor avionics update and their communication systems have received updates as part of the DDS effort to protect against cyber attacks.
The third Nightingale hospital ship has been cancelled. The class will now finish at 2 when A182 Dr Alban is built next year.
25 SROPS are now in service and production will soon switch to SROPS Rev C. The C will have extra fuel and an improved air filtration system to improve range and endurance. Avionics will also be enhanced with improved bandwidth for integration with the mothership. The Heron name, which is the official name of the SROPS, has been dropped because no one uses it!
