Raegris consider fleet expansion

Over the last few years the Raegris have greatly increased the size of their fleet with cutting edge DDS designs such as the Quasar and Isometric. However despite that the Raegris are feeling the pressure in their unique position between the Bolitic Confederacy and the Utrek Federation. Not a very healthy place to be. The Raegris are said to be considering a 10 billion zark further expansion of their fleet.

The question is what will they buy. Velocity-E is an option as they are already building it for export customers. More DF-1s is likely to take the fleet of Isometric derives frigates up to 20. The Raegris are known to have shown interest in the latest DDS light cruiser design studies and if the project goes ahead then they could become a partner. One type that will feature in future is the RC-2B cruiser. The Raegris design (which people will better know as the Cosmos in HCS service) is likely to be built again in it's DDS updated RC-2B version. The Raegris have liked the results of the DDS upgrade so much they have decided to build some more brand new ships in this configuration.
