Second export Extender delivered; new orders

With the first export Isometrics and Pentekonters now in construction at the vast DDS-Raegris shipyard on Raegris the 2nd Extender-E ordered by Molab has been delivered on time. The Extender/Provider line now shifts to producing 8 Provider-EDMs for the Dinos starting next year. The Vosun-Voth orders are currently in limbo pending the resolution of the war with the Bolitic. Privately though the DDS have written off these large orders (10 each Provider-E and Extender-Es) as even if the VVSE survives the war it's economy is likely to be in no state to actually pay for the ships for a long time.

Molab has ordered a Provider-E however and Sirikwan has increased it's Pentekonter-E order to 8. Sirikwan is also a worry though for the DDS because of their recent tie-up with the HCS though at the moment the Sirikwanese seem eager to stay on the fence.
