When Haylei placed a huge order with the DDS Export Agency the Clones tried to change the Haylean minds with a counter-offer but Haylei have said they will stick with the DDS. The value of the order has been now revealed as being a cool 8 billion zarks and includes warships, aircraft and weapons. A follow-on order for land weapons may follow when the DDS launch its land weapon export portfolio later in the year.
Haylei will receive its first ships, 2 Extender-E oilers, later in this year with work to begin on an orbital docking base in a few weeks. Haylei will also send around 120 cadets to the DDS Space Academy. Haylei hopes to have its ships operational by next Summer and should receive its first combat warships before the end of next year.
A three ship DDS detachment has now arrived at Haylei and will help with the planet's defence until Haylei can take over with its own fleet operations sometime in 2114.
The first of 50 F-10SEPH fighters is currently being built, changes from the DDS SEP version are thought to be mainly localisation though the SEPH will be equipped with the air-launched version of the QPM which has slight aerodynamic differences compared to the TPM-A. The DDS are currently performing final proving of the QPM-A.
