DDS switch Ferret construction to upgraded model

The DDS have switched construction of the Ferret 101 UCV to the MQ-5C model. Improvement of the Ferret 101C as it is known include enhanced vectored thrust for better agility, upgraded datalinks and a new version of the control software (which will also be rolled out to the legacy stock). The 5C can also have its laser gun replaced by a third TPM-2. The DDS will produce 250 of these for themselves and also offer them to allies.

• The Alpha 121A Nano Fighting Ship is expected to begin flight testing next week. This is an optionally manned small space vehicle which will be fitted with worm drive and TPMs. The Alpha will not be calibrated for worm drive use until after the flight tests. The Alpha will help develop future warship technologies as well as being a highly useful asset specially for special operations (though officially it is to be used purely for research).
