The HCS Space Navy's UCV the Nybble has begun testing the HCS has announced. Nybble is not a HCS equivalent to the Ferret-E as it is a much larger ship (said to be the same size as a Coril) and capable of up to 250c. Nybble made it's first trip in the Cloneworld system accompanied by a Kalahati Tuul.
A first superluminal test is planned for the Summer and after the updated Nybble 002 prototype is delivered around September a more extensive set of tests will begin with combat simulations beginning in the new year. Nybble could enter service some time next year.
A smaller space fighting UCV, the Sprite, is also under development it is understood. This is a redesigned version of the Welik UCV the HCS operated for a few years in the 2090s (and which was the inspiration for the DDS to produce the Ferret-E).
