Dinos
Prospective Consul for next year Jimmy is likely to press for a reduced defence budget which will mean PT production paused and XT production reduced to a minimal rate. The next versions of both ships, including the PT/4, are also likely to be delayed a few years.
The Dinos are getting more involved with the export market though having already scored some successes with the XT, many of these are second-hand however. A dedicated XT-export model is being considered.
HCS
Construction has begun of the first Type AA super-heavy transport. To save money the first Type AA will use two old Type As though future AAs will be newly built. Trials have been scheduled to begin by next Summer with the first new build AA planned for early 2111.
Sirikwan
The two Relan class multi-purpose ships are to be upgraded by the DDS Upgrades Division (thought to be free to the Sirikwanese to repay their participation in various DDS operations). The ships will be fitted with Canister TPM, improved communication systems and it's docking bay made compatible with DDS ships like the Fulcrum and SROPS. The upgrades will be carried out later this year.
New Arit
New Arit have received the first of 3 Coril-Es they have on order. The shuttle has been designated as the new VIP transport for the Aritan President.
