Artensis 60 cancel DDS orders, plump for HCS warships

Artensis 60 placed a huge order for Isometric-E, Pentekonter-E and Extender-E warships last year for deliveries from 2112. However the war has caused all ship deliveries to export customers to be delayed and Artensis were told they may have to wait until 2114 for their ships. Artensis, already a buyer of HCS air and land weapons recently, have instead decided to cancel their 6 billion zark order and will buy HCS warships.

Artensis have ordered 10 Shark-E frigates, 7 Type A transports, 3 Type C transports and 3 Type J oilers in a deal thought to be similiar in value to the DDS order. Delivery dates have yet to be set but are said to be much earlier than the DDS dates. This is a worrying sign for the DDS who could see more cancellations if the war continues though their top customer Molab has recently said it would remain a DDS customer.

Artensis' order for Dinomark XTs remains unaffected.
