DDS to build experimental battlecruiser

For some time now the DDS have been mooting a new cruiser type to replace the Pulsar. Now finally the DDS have given the go-ahead for the construction of a new experimental cruiser. The one-off ship is likely to be called the Pulsar II and could enter service sometime in the next decade.

The ships is also said to going to be the first "5th Generation" design. It will "integrate unmanned combat vehicle technology", observers say this means the Pulsar II will be able to "detach" part of itself to act as a UCV. The DDS have apparently been working on this design for some months and now the green light has been given to build the ship designs will be unveiled soon.
