Starsystem ends front-line service

An era ends tomorrow in the DDS as the last patrol by a Starsystem frigate is completed. The ship 3020T PISCIS AUSTRALIS is coming to the end of a 4 month patrol along the Remedia-Dino border. When it arrives back at Solaris Space Dock tomorrow it will leave front-line service and join the 5 other Starsystem survivors in the training fleet.

Captain Ivan Cystitis said he and his crew would be sad to say goodbye to their old ship, which has been in service since 2097, but they also looked forward to retaining for their next ship, a Terran Sea Block 2 frigate!

Starsystems have been in service since the earliest days of the DDS fleet, the type entering service in 2093. However the fast pace of technology has made these ships obsolete. 6 will remain in the DDS' training pool.
