The DDS have offered a dedicated minesweeper director version of the Isometric-E to Molab on request. The Isometric-M is based on the low-end Isometric-E55 but without passive sensors or a Z5 cannon. It will have Pave Yellow 2.0 fully integrated into the ship's systems. A QPM launcher will be fitted though the dorsal space usually occupied by the Z Cannon on the Isometric will be used instead for an optional mine layer module to be developed by Molab themselves.
Molab are going to evaluate the design and make a decision about buying it (and a Pentekonter-EM flotilla) later on, but as the Isometric-M specification has drawn on a lot of input from Molab it is thought pretty likely they will buy it. It is thought they could buy 1 with an option of a second along with 5 Pentekonter-EMs. One sticking point is funding. Molab is trying to get Sear N7 and Oxsasx to contribute financially in return for the minesweeping force being available for their needs too. One source reports the cost of this order could be around 3.3 billion zarks.
