Dinos
The Dinos have received their 6th SX-98 landing ship. For now no more will be ordered but the Dinos have indicated they would like to double their fleet sometime in the future. Jimmy election as Consul means the Dino defence budget is likely to be reduced for a time. The Dinos have already reined in various programmes with the PT and XT lines down to miminal rate. Around 30 XTs in the reserve fleet are likely to be sold off to private buyers to raise funds.
HCS
Following the Xenon disaster Captain Clone and Benito Clone have been thrashing out plans for a major fleet expansion programme. Details of this will be covered in separate articles.
Raegris
The first PC-1 patrol ship has begun trials. This is the Raegris version of the Pentekonter-E and is equivalent to a mid-range model though with Raegris specific equipment and interiors. 6 will be bought by the Raegris to serve on patrol and governance duties.
Molab
The first 2 refurbished and modernised Kalahati Tuuls for the Molab fleet have been completed by a DDS Engineering team located on Molab. 20 ex-Utrek KTs in total will be upgraded to serve as the second-line of the Molab fleet.
New Arit
The Aritans have received their second Extender-E oiler/transport. These ships will allow the Aritans to support their ships away from their own space on patrol and supplement DDS assets.
