Dr Forbidden said the ship would be the heir to SS Neptune which was a research ship built at the end of the 2090s that helped develop the ultra high speed technologies now commonplace. He said however that it would also be the successor to SS Isometric in many ways too as future ship designs would likely be derived from Wayfarer.
- The DDS have announced their SUP production jig, which has produced dozens of SUP derived ships like the Provider 71A and Extender 73A over the years will shut down next year. The line that produces the backbone of the SUP has already closed with the final supply being used to complete the outstanding Extender 73A order. The DDS said that if they needed any SUP derived ships after next year then they would use Raegris built ships. The SUP jig will be reused for the Type 16A bomber.
