Velocity-N details

The DDS have announced details of the (to be) Raegris built third batch of Velocity destroyers to be known as "Velocity-N" for now, though a new name will be assigned for them later. The V-N will have the latest evolution of the Tachyon series engine (RL-08J) which will boost cruise speed to 920c. The V-N will be also able to maintain this speed for longer periods making it overall much faster than previous Velocities in real terms.

The V-N will have a TPM-2 launcher and thus, as TPM-2 is smaller than TPM-1, the missile load will be increased to 42. The DDS are still considering giving the V-N a fuselage plug that would further increase missile load.
