DDS poised to enter commercial market

The DDS have formed a partnership with commercial spaceship manufacturer Consolidated Spacecraft to market a civilian version of the Provider 71A transport. The DDS think there is a potential market for 25-30 of these types which would bring in valuable revenue to the DDS and keep the production line viable should the DDS decide to build some more for themselves later on. A launch order of 3 by an unspecified customer is rumoured though not confirmed by the DDS.

The DDS will market the transport as the Silver Provider 650. It will be largely the same as the Provider-E military export grade transport though will have civilian communications and navigational systems and no armament though it will retain the same internal security systems.
