The DDS are to reactivate a Bolitic Helwin which was captured by the Raegris during the Bolitic/Vosun attack on the Raegris. The ship has some battle damage but this will be repaired along with some other updates and localisation work to get the ship to the same standard as the Helwin already in service, otherwise known as the Alpha Centauri 93X training ship.
With the Experiment class being sold DDS Research need more ships for trials and research work hence the need for a second Alpha Centauri. It will also be used for combat training. The as-yet unnamed ship is expected to join the fleet by the end of the year, it will be updated alongside the Sirikwanese Helwins the DDS are updating.
