DDS regain 2 Quasar from the Raegris

Last year the DDS sold 2 more Quasar cruisers to the Raegris which since then have lain in dock being prepared for Raegrian service. Because of recent combat losses the DDS have asked the Raegris if the sale can be cancelled. After a modest compensation (said to be 10 million zarks per ship plus the cost of existing work covered) the ships have been returned to the DDS register and should be ready to re-enter service by the summer.

The ships 1218 Kaon and 1219 Pion interestingly have had mine laying and detection equipment added (as part of their role in Raegris service was to be mine warfare) so the DDS will gain a possibly useful extra capability when the ships return to service.
