The HCS are to build an updated version of their Sprite drone which was in service with the HCS Space Navy in the 2090s (and was a major inspiration for the DDS Ferret it is thought). At the time the Sprite proved troublesome in service but the HCS think that experience gained from their Nybble superluminal UCV means the new Sprite will be a much more effective weapon.
As for Nybble NL the second drone is about to enter service and it is thought has a number of changes from the first Nybble. It has some external hardpoints for the carriage of missiles (though its not known if it will carry any yet) plus some changes to it's EO sensors. A HCS source says the first few Nybbles are likely to have differences so the HCS can choose different configurations before deciding on a definite specification for mass production.
