Raegris order extra ships

The Raegris have ordered an extra 2 DF-1 frigates, their licence built version of the Terran Sea. They received their seventh ship yesterday and have now placed orders for a further 5 giving an eventual fleet of 12. The order was originally mooted last November but had to wait for a Raegris election before being finalised (the existing government which supports strong DDS links was returned to power). The two extra DF-1s will receive Z5i, iSAS and TPM-2. The other 10 ships will be upgraded when they receive major refits.

The Raegris have also asked if they can join the MRM development programme and wish to equip their ex-Quasar DC-1 and RC-2 cruisers with the missile.

The Raegris have also ordered 5 Extender-E oilers. They are already building the Extender-E for DDS export customers. It may be the Raegris cannot build their own until after 2111 because of the order backlog.
