Remedians want own fleet again

A recent change of government in the Remedian Belt has now seen a change of policy, the Remedians say they want to have their own separate fleet again and not be just part of the DDS fleet anymore. Following the Utrek War the remains of the Remedian fleet became the Remedian Customs & Police Patrol (RCPP) and just consisted of Kalahati Tuul 2s. Many Remedians joined the DDS fleet and indeed 3 ships in the DDS fleet are now commanded by Remedians.

However now the Remedian government wants a new fleet and for it to exist "allied to but independent from" the DDS as the Aritan fleet is. The Remedians say they would remain Tier 1 allies and would buy DDS built ships (Isometric-Es and Rome-Es have been mentioned) and operate them themselves. The DDS are likely to be secretly pleased as it will help release DDS ships from guarding Remedia's borders (and will bring in some cash!) This may all have to wait a while though as the Remedians say they will wait until the end of the war before beginning the process.
