DDS unveil Electron drive

The DDS have officially unveiled their own built worm drive, which will be known as the Electron DDS-W1A in DDS service. The first Electron drive was hand built by a joint DDS Research and DDS Engineering team (as is a second currently undergoing bench testing) but series production Electron drives are expected before the end of the year.

The first Electron will be fitted to the trials ship SS Isometric next week replacing the Dino supplied W1A which will be fitted to the next Independence 35B destroyer to be completed. Isometric will then begin working up to a full test and certification programme for Electron to be completed by August assuming no series setbacks.
  • The Bolitic war of succession has temporarily been halted. Analysts say this is quite normal for Bolitic civil wars and the truce is likely down to boredom more than anything else. It is thought likely the war will resume within weeks.
