First Zephyr 76A begins construction

The first Zephyr 76A fast fleet tanker has begun construction, A181 Zephyr will be the first of 6 oiler transports based on the Solaris platform. Although not as big as normal transports they will be fast ships equipped with worm drive able to keep up with DDS combat deployments.

A modified worm drive calibration will be calculated later this year. Though the first Zephyr is not expected to enter service until 2113, testing could begin by the early Winter 2112.
