Arsenal ships revisited

Some time ago the DDS considered creating a specialised ammunition transport known as the Arsenal class however they later changed their mind and have used Providers instead. Now however the need for more specialised weapon handling is felt again as the DDS ramp up their stockpile of nuclear weapons.

The DDS are to develop the Provider Secure Munitions Module (PSMM) which will be a self-contained secure weapons handling, monitoring and storage system that can be installed in a Provider's main hold in a matter of hours. A number of PSMMs are likely to be built and then distributed around the DDS being available should the need arise.
