The DDS has said that 2 ex-Utrek Kalahati Tuul ships will be named the Experiment 96X class and will enter service in a few weeks following some refurbishment and re-engining with the same Heldris Hemtar nuclear/ion drive as fitted to Remedian KT2s.
The 2 Experiment class ships will help reduce the load on Isometric and lessen the need to use the Departmental Starsystem class ships for research or trials work. They will also be available for "aggressor" style training. DDS Engineering have carried out a full check of the ships and say that they should be good for 10 years with a "moderate" workload.
