Earlier in the year the DDS added the Raegris Yel'Tema cruiser to its export portfolio, replacing the Velocity-E as the heavy combat ship. Helinox have just agreed a 2.4 billion zark deal for 3 Yel'Tema YT-110s for delivery from 2114.
The ships have been bought by Helinox alone, who teamed up with Sear N7 for their Isometric purchases a couple of years ago. Since then Helinox has developed its mineral sector and that is helping to fuel an expansion in their military which operates as part of the Free Eritran States unified command. The YT-110s will be equipped with Z5 cannons and TPM launchers.
The deal also covers an upgrade of Helinox's 3 Pentekonters which will be fitted out to the latest Pentekonter Protector 350 standard including TPM-VLS and an Z5m turret. Upgrades will take place next year. Helinox is considering buying more Pentekonters and is also looking at the Corkscrew but this will be a separate deal.
