The first Feeder class shuttle, A501 Oscar, has been delivered from General Spacecraft. The Feeder is based on their commercial Comet 450 design but militarised with standard DDS communication equipment, 2 laser cannons, datalinking ability (to allow it to carry pylon mounted TPMs though it would rely on other ships for targeting), and internal security measures.
The Feeder is larger than the Coril and can travel at 500c. The DDS have 8 on order but may order more if the type is successful. The Feeder is intended for longer range shuttle missions including the "taxi" services for VIPs which recently have been using Starsystems (much to the DDS Training Corps annoyance).
The first Coril-B shuttle will also be delivered later this year. The DDS are hoping to withdraw their remaining 11 Corils by the end of next year. A few may be given to the Aritans.
