The DDS have increased their outstanding orders for the Provider 71A transport (by 1), the Extender 73A oiler (by 2) and the Coril 86B shuttle (by 3). However Extender apart the ships will not be built until after the war though the Coril production line may produce some ships for the DDS once an export backlog is cleared (the Corils are built by the Raegris).
Although the fleet is stretched one of the remaining Pulsar 12A cruisers may soon have to be withdrawn. C102 Australasia was originally intended to leave service next year but recent combat use has put a strain on it's ageing internal structure and now it has been restricted to no more than 200c. It is travelling back to Solaris where it will perform as a static defence post for the next few months until its nuclear fuel runs out. The DDS are likely to then withdraw it as the spare parts will be useful for the rest of the fleet.
