The Isometric Prototype has just been withdrawn from service and will be fitted with a development version of the Gluon XTM-07A engine which will later power the Panther destroyer. The engine, which uses hybrid technology from the Pluto development programme is the most powerful yet fitted to a DDS ship. The engine potentially can take the Isometric to 1085c but because of the structural limitations of the ship the engine will be limited to take the Isometric to 1010c (10 second burst) and a cruise of 875c. The Panther will have a Gluon TM-07A-GM and is expected to be able to reach 1100c for a full 30 second burst and cruise at 957c!
The Panther will be delayed by a few months though, although it will enter test by H2 2107 it will probably not now enter service until Q1 2108.
