Extender Update 2109 A

The hard-working Extender oiler fleet is to receive an update during the rest of the year, though as the fleet is heavily employed it is likely to be the end of the year before all ships can receive Extender Update 2109 A which will take around 2 weeks to complete.

Earlier in the year the Extenders received tactical updates as part of the SUP fleet update, the Extender update however concentrates on the primary reason for the ships to exist and that is supporting on-going operations and deployed ships. Refueling and resupplying will be improved by a new integrated logistics computer and upgraded supply systems. Inventory management and cargo security will also be improved by a number of system updates and enhancements such as internal forcefields, improved CCTV (not just in the male toilets as usually is the case on DDS ships) and automated sentry systems.
