First DDS C-440s operational / New order
The first Clone built C-440 transports bought by the DDSAF have been declared operational and will begin transport operations on Proxima 7. The DDS have around 10 of the 42 C-440s on order, though some are still on Cloneworld. Only 3 are currently operational but the DDS hope to raise that to 8 by the end of the year and also have the STOL C-491 transport also operational.
