HCS Fleet News (11/06/10)

The first of 3 new build Soulaki SLBK battlecruisers has been delivered to the HCS Space Navy. It is possible the HCS may increase the number built to 5 if the first SLBK performs well in service. In the past the Soulaki has been dogged by minor problems and poor reliability which has soured their impression with the HCS though potentially they are very good warships.

Another Molentic Tuul MTA has been upgraded to MTM standard. The HCS hope the rest of the MTAs can be upgraded fairly swiftly now. The Thresher ST heavy frigate has however been delayed until 2112 at least indicating the HCS may be having second thoughts on the type especially now as the Shark SKH is likely to be in production for a number of years yet.

A Type B transport has been withdrawn from service, it may be sold to Sirikwan.
