Nybble is operational

The HCS Space Navy have declared the Nybble unmanned space vehicle operational and that 10 Phase 1 Nybbles will be built this year (or rather 8 more to add to the 2 already in service). Nybble Phase 1 is an unarmed reconnaissance drone able to reach 400c. An armed Phase 2 that can reach 500c is planned for next year. Projected versions could reach 900c.

The Nybbles will be used for tactical reconnaissance and supporting manned assets. Shark frigates are understood to be used as their motherships with the Nybble being able to dock on the Shark's gondola.
