River class to be upgraded

The DDS have ordered 2 more River 75B utility transports but also have announced an upgrade for the small fleet (the 2 new ships will be built to the new standard). The Rivers will be fitted with the same HS-602CMi engine as their warship cousins the Olympus and will have a speed boost to 550c. They will also have an enhanced self-defence tactical system and a TPM-VLS battery.

The new ships have been added to the 2114/5 Ship Building Plan and the upgrades are expected to take place later this year.
