Clones announce ambitious "Plan 2120Space"

The Clone Space Navy has announced an ambitious plan (dubbed Plan 2120Space) to upgrade its fleet for the 2120s. The plan, intended to invest heavily in the space fleet could cost over 25 billion zarks in total though that will be spread out over 8-10 years. The plan includes new ships and upgrades to existing ships in the front line, support and transport fleets.

The plan includes the following, some details are yet to have been finalised :

• Upgrade of the 18 Soulaki SL to a new standard based on the SLBK, SLBs will also be upgraded. All ships will receive some form of upgrade as the fleet is standardised to the SLM standard.
• As previously rumoured 20 new reverse-engineered Molentic Tuuls will be built to the upgraded MTM2 standard. Details TBA.
• An extra 15 Cosmos CG added to the existing order.
• The Cosmos CK and Kalahati Tuul KTS fleets to receive an upgrade, again details TBA. All remaining Cosmos CA (about 20 ships) will also receive the CK rebuild.
• 6 more Loader TYC transports ordered.
• Shark production will be increased though the existing order will not be increased at this stage.
• Some orbital bases and stations will receive defence and communication upgrades.
• A new research base will be set up on the Rectoid home world to help integrate Rectoid technology into Clone systems (this base is already under construction on Recta).
• A space combat version of CSM-S will be developed, details of this are scant but it is thought it will be a nuclear weapon designed to attack orbital stations or fleet concentrations.
