Dinos to buy DDS built oilers

The Dinos have ordered 4 Extender-E oiler transports from the DDS in an undisclosed deal (however it is rumoured the Dinos will provide 4 W1A worm drives plus cash) which also includes assistance for the Dinos to be able to start building their own Extender-EDA variant for DTA use from 2114. The ships will be supplied to the DTA allies only, the Dinos will wait for their own built versions.

Of the 4 ships to be built by the DDS 1 will be given to the Aritans, 2 to Sirikwan and 1 to the Voth. Delivery is expected from late 2112.

• The DDS have placed an order with PMS (Proximan Military Systems) for 275 SSM-8J short range attack missiles. A ground attack missile based on the TPM-2 was considered but the SSM-8J was chosen instead as it is a mature design and the DDS have been a user of earlier missiles in the SSM-8 series for a number of years. The missile is a space to ground attack missile that can be fitted with a variety of warheads.
