Artensis 60 is the latest planetary system in the region of space near the Dino and Aritan sectors to invest heavily in a new fleet to replace it's ageing legacy fleet (made up of ex-Tarbotian and Utrek ships). Artensis have been courted by both the DDS and Dino and to that end Artensis have decided to keep everyone happy.
Artensis first ordered, in a 6 billion zark deal, 2 Isometric-E1A5 frigates with QPM, 3 Pentekonter-E3A1 patrol boats again with QPM (indeed this is the highest spec Pentekonters yet sold) and 2 Extender-Es. Delivery dates have yet to be set.
They also ordered in a 2.1 billion zark deal with the Dinos (and Clones), 6 Dinomark XTs and 400 T-55ZDM tanks and 750 TRV-5HD IFVs. Several thousand SM-26 rifles and ammunition have also been ordered. The Dinos will also establish a base on Artensis 60 and assist in the refurbishment of the planet's existing docking facilities.
There may also be upgrades performed of the legacy fleet though this has not yet been finalised.
