The DDS have completed their man-rating and calibration of the worm drives received from the Dinos. The research ship SS Isometric completed its first manned journey with the W1A drive fitted and drives are now to be fitted to the flagship SS Carboniferous and a Panther 35A destroyer which is at Solaris for repair. Carboniferous will be fitted with the drive when it receives an general update though this will wait until after the impending battle with the ABBOs near Liberation.
The DDS have also announced that work on reverse-engineering the W1A is proceeding well though it will be next year before the first DDS build W1As are produced. The Dinos have agreed to sell the DDS 3 more W1As for an undisclosed sum. These will arrive before the end of the year.
