The DDS has placed a number of orders for extra ships, some replacing ships lost in battle but also some surprises. 2 extra Missileer class missile /UCV carriers have been added making a planned eventual fleet of 8. An extra Terran Sea class has been ordered to replace SS North Sea and the DDS has made a U-turn on an earlier decision and ordered a 6th Velocity class destroyer to replace SS Rapide. The DDS were not originally going to replace the ship but have relented following a review of combat performance of the type.
The final order is the biggest surprise. 4 extra Pentekonter OPVs will be ordered. This is unusual in that the Pentekonter production line is now closed and the DDS tend not to reopen the lines, however the Pentekonter is part of the DDS' export portfolio and it is likely the ships will be built by the Raegris on the Pentekonter-E line. The DDS have decided they need more ships because of the DDS taking over patrols in Remedian space, this will mean more patrol assets are required.
