Sirikwan have bought 2 ex-HCS Type B freighters off the Clones. The elderly ships, so old they transported equipment during the invasion of Earth in the New Rome war, were withdrawn from the HCS Space Navy 6 years ago and have remained in storage until now when the Clones finally decided to let them go.
The ships have been bought for just 24 million zarks though it is thought more of the cost is included in an offset for Sirikwanese submarine technology. The Clones will refuel and refit the ships to enable them to operate for the delivery journey to Sirikwan where they will receive a more extensive refit. The Sirikwanese intend to use these ships for about 5 years until they will be replaced by Provider-Es.
