The Dinos are rumoured to be developing a whole new class of ship much smaller than existing Dinomark PT and XT ships but fully equipped with worm drive, advanced weapons like TPM, sensors et cetera. It is said that the Dinomark XA (it is unknown if this is the actual name but this is conjectured by Dino analysts) will be similiar to a small number of Dino shuttles that have been outfitted for special operations.
A Dino analyst said that recent advances in technology (especially macro powerplants, an area the Dinos are way ahead of the DDS) were making it possible to build a ship with the performance and kill-potential of a PT but with a crew of 2 or 3. Such a ship could be used as a scout, personal transport or for special operations.
