Putri 500 place massive order for DDS ships

The DDS have received easily their biggest export order yet from the rather obscure but cash rich planet of Putri 500, the order being worth nearly 20 billion zarks! Putri 500 are ordering no fewer than 21 ships.

• 1 Velocity-EP1 - the first Velocity-E sale, this will be configured as the flagship of the new Putri 500 fleet and a VIP ship for the Putri president. It will have TPM-1 and Z5ti fitted.
• 4 Isometric-E15P1s - to the mid-range Isometric-E100 standard including TPMs.
• 10 Pentekonter-E2P1s - to the mid-range Pentekonter-E200 standard including TPMs. 2 may be fitted with the future DDS minesweeping system.
• 4 Extender-E oilers and 2 Provider-E transports.
• The order also includes 5 Coril-DDS shuttles, the setting up of maintenance facilities at Putri 500 and training.

Putri 500 is a very mineral rich world and until now has relied on obscurity for their protection, their fleet consisting of second-hand Tarbotian and Vosun-Voth ships but recently they have had their space violated by both the Tarbotians and ABBOs and it is feared by them that their large cash reserves are starting to attract some unwanted attention. They are basically purchasing a whole new fleet. It is thought they may also place a second smaller order for Dino ships too including some XTs. Full details of the order including exact specifications will be worked out by a DDS team which is currently on the planet.
