General Lloyd, the head of the DDS Training & Support Fleet, has called for the DDS to purchase a number of ships as "space taxis". He said this after reports of two training missions having to be cancelled because the StarSystem frigates which were to be used where not available. 9102T Pyris was on an emergency transport mission taking medical supplies to Saeou where there has been an outbreak of Saeouan Flu. 9105T Centaurus has apparently been commandeered by a UNP Admiral to transport him from Rathun's World to Proxima 7.
Lloyd said that the DDS needed a few ships for one-off missions like this so the training fleet can be kept for it's primary role. General Eton of the DDS Combat Fleet said that Pentekonter and Terran Sea development would result in some Isometric frigates being surplus. He said that maybe a few of these ships could be made available for these kind of missions.
