The Orchid has announced funding for a new phase in DDS Research's superluminal UCV development work. Object Blue A was a major project carried out last year that included operating the research ship SS Isometric unmanned.
In a new 9 million zark contract SS Isometric will again be modified for unmanned operation in a new series of tests called Object Blue Gamma. This will build on the earlier work and look into automated repair and maintenance systems as well as continuing the work on unmanned superluminal operation and integration with manned assets.
