The DDS still have 4 Falcons on order but the Dinos have said that no export XTs will be produced until the second line is operational on Sirikwan, this will be early next year at least however. The first 4-5 units are likely to be reserved for DTA allies so the next DDS Falcon might not be produced until H2 2112. The DDS have said they may cancel their remaining Falcons if this delay is unavoidable. They have 11 in service plus 3 Pelican 47W special forces transports which are older XTs able to travel underwater.
The Dinos have offered to make the remaining Falcons worm drive capable (though the DDS would have to fit their own worm drives). Cancelling the order will save the DDS around 430 million zarks which may prove irrestistable to the DDS in their current budgetary strapped state.
- The Clone aircraft carrier CNS Cloneworld has returned to port after a week of intensive carrier operation in support of an anti-piracy offensive. The HCSN are very happy with how the crew performed in their first intensive operation though said there would be some lessons learned. It is reported there was a near miss during one F-40N landing where a SH-26 helicopter came close and nearly caused a crash. Training and operational management are currently being revised.
