Fourth Velocity ordered plus VS update

A fourth Velocity class destroyer has been ordered and should be ready to enter service by the end of the year. The fourth ship, to be named Progress, will be to the Velocity Special (VS) specification. The other 3 ships will be bought up to this standard next year. The VS includes an improved engine with sprint speed over 900c plus numerous equipment and weapon updates including (some would say finally) the ability to fit a Z-cannon like the Isometric class.
