Dinos working on "Heavy Combat Ship"

The Dinos have confirmed they are working on a new kind of Dinomark which will be part of their new experimental series. Unlike the already announced nano-warfighter Dinomark XA the Dinomark XF will be a larger warship, perhaps similar in size to DDS heavy combat ships like the Panther.

The XF will be a dedicated warship, the Dinos envisage a small number being built (in Dinomark terms) or around 20-25 which would form the backbone of the combat fleet along with the existing RS. No date has yet been given as to the design lockdown for the XF which at the moment is just a design study and will be years away from service. The Dinos are keen to get DTA involvement (and presumably sharing the cost).

• Porquat 640 have offered to act as an intermediately between the Clones and Eritrans in an effort to defuse tensions. The Porquatians say they are willing to police a demilitarized zone.
