Last week D101 Panther performed it's first mission when it took the daily Proxima-Solaris patrol. Afterwards it spent a week at Solaris Orbital Base with the crew running a number of training drills. There were some issues that arose during the mission though nothing ship threatening. Some equipment readings were not totally as expected and a special engineering team (which accompanied the ship) is understood to have made some adjustments to the Panther's reactor battery and hyperspace field generator.
"These little tweaks are very common with a new type." a DDS spokeswoman said, "In fact Panther has required noticeably less tweaks than, say, the Quasar and Isometric required on their first few missions!"
Later this week Panther will conduct some training exercises with 3 other ships before moving onto Randalf 74 where it will be based for a few months conducting training missions and patrols in the Rim Worlds area.
