Flagship to get worm drive

Commander AP's flagship, the Rome 46A medium combat ship K101 Cicero, will receive a production W1A worm drive in the next couple of months after the Rome became the 4th type to have its worm drive geometry calibrated. AP has insisted on worm drive personally as he says he needs to be able to reach all points of the DDS quickly.

Calibration of the Rome will also largely be valid for the Corkscrew though it is unusual that the Rome has leaped ahead of the Quasar and Type 37 in the list. DDS Engineering however say those 2 types will be calibrated by the end of the year. No other Romes after Cicero are expected to get worm drive in the short term.

• Two F-45As have collided over Beyond Micom, second city of Cloneworld. Both pilots were killed but there were no fatal injuries on the ground as most of the debris fell into a river that passes through the city. The HCSAF are going to review combat aircraft flights over civilian built-up areas. Its the third F-45A loss this week as a plane also crashed due to mechanical failure on Daggaddon. Up until this week though only 1 plane of the 900 built for HCSAF service has been lost in several years of service.
