The DDS have begun the final withdrawal of its final Kalahati Tuuls with the withdrawal of 2 of its Kingfisher 39Bs. The other 3 and the sole remaining Experiment 96X trials ship will be withdrawn early next month. All ships will be sold to the Aritans.
To mark the end of KT operation (though the KT2 remains in Remedian use) the DDS will stage a similar "public wind-down" as it did with the Pulsar 12A fleet. This includes a weekly report on the remaining ships' duties with a final ceremonial ending to operations in August.
To start the report the DDS has announced that X152 X-Ray is currently working near Solaris on unspecified equipment trials for DDS Research. D201 Kingfisher and D202 Kangaroo are currently assigned to Patrol Group Border operating on patrol circuits on the DDS-Dino border. D203 Kingcup is at Liberation for resupply before its next duties.
