The 3 Panther destroyers have been returned to service following modifications to the cooling systems. The modifications needed after automated monitoring systems indicated higher heat in parts of the ship than desired. The 4th Panther D104 Leopard has also received the modifications and has been accepted into service. D104 is the last Panther Block 1. D105 and further ships will be to Block 2 standard though the differences have not yet been announced yet.
Two more Feeder transports have entered service, A502 Thomas and A503 Robert. This has allowed Coril class shuttle A554 Isabelle to be withdrawn due to fatigued load bearers. The ship will be broken up for spares though the 10 remaining Corils are expected to be withdrawn by next year. (Some Corils are in service with the Aritans of course).
2 more Friendship utility transports have been delivered. The DDS are still undecided as to whether they will name these ships though the crews of the first 2 have unofficially named their ships "Lord Rotarios" and "The Shiner".
The final Solaris class ship in DDS service T121 Solaris II is due to be sold to the Aritans in the Summer and has left Proxima 5 on it's final mission for the DDS. A mapping mission near Loeuss and other Remedian planets. The ship has received some modifications to it's shielding and received a new sensor array. The array is a new type which Solaris II will test.
