I'm still en route to Dino-Land for my conference but i thought it would be interesting to collate the various Eritran Free State fleets together to see what they now add to the overall DDS strength. As you can see from the below, together they can pack quite a punch especially once they have been upgraded with TPM and other DDS technologies.
(In round brackets the number in service plus the number on order are given. In square brackets are whom these ships belong to.)
Front Line
Isometric-E/EM* (3+3 on order) [Molab,SearN7,Helinox]
Pentekonter-E/EM* (12+13) [Molab,Helinox]
Kalahati Tuul** (11+9) [Molab]
* minesweeping assets but still with front-line combat capabilities
** considered front-line by Molab
Second Line / Combat Support
Yeoman frigate (4) [Sear N7]
Vortis destroyer (6) [Helinox,Rimegga]
Helwin destroyer (5) [Helinox,Castaris]
Various sub-light local patrol vessels [Sear N7,Rimegga,Oxsasx]
Support
Provider-E (3) [Molab]
Extender-E (8+6) [Molab,Sear N7,Helinox,Castaris]
Various older transports for local duties [All members]
So the Eritran Free States bring a lot to the party as i am sure you can see. Properly integrated and updated i am sure they will prove a formidable asset to the DDS.
