Raegris outline plans for fleet

The Raegris have announced their plans for developing their fleet up until the mid-part of this decade and beyond. Much of what they plan to build has already been announced and ordered but there were some surprises, especially the substancial Ferret force they plan to have. Up until now they have not operated the DDS UCV.
  • A fleet of 23 cruisers (5 DC-1 Quasar and 18 RC-2B Cosmos), it should be noted though that the RC-2 is considered a destroyer by the DDS. This will form the combat fleet.
  • 20 DF-1 Isometric frigates and 10 PC-1 Pentekonter patrol ships. This will form the patrol fleet and the DF-1s will support the combat fleet.
  • 3 Olympus-E carriers and a fleet of 350-400 Ferret-Gs. The DDS are already testing a Ferret-G modified to operate in the Raegrean atmosphere.
This plan has been signed off by the Raegran parliament. There is no firm date yet for the Olympus-Es though as early as 2112 has been signalled by some authorities.
