Two Starsystems to be placed in reserve

When the DDS decided to turn it's surviving Starsystem 91X frigates into training ships little did it know what a vital role they would soon make for themselves. Being mostly free from scheduled operations the Starsystems became the "space taxis" of the DDS as one was generally always available. Such was the workload that the DDS bought back 3 withdrawn ships to make a fleet of 9.

Now however their usage as taxis has largely gone, newer ships like the Friendship and Thames have taken over the role as general purpose ship (and are more suitable for these kinds of mundane duties). As a cost saving measure the DDS have decided to place in reserve 2 ships, T106 Mira and T108 T.S.Eliot. Both ships were due to undergo a refueling and major refit of their reactor bank. The DDS have decided to postpone this for at least a year which means in effect both ships are now unavailable for service. Without main power they will not be able to move at superluminal speeds though the DDS will continue to use them as static classroom facilities. The DDS say they will restore the ships to service in time but this measure will save 57 million zarks which is better served elsewhere at the moment.
