DDS exploring drone transports

DDS Research held an Unmanned Space Vessel conference at DDS City this week where DDS and industry experts met to discuss and explore the various technologies needed in unmanned space-faring drones like the Ferret 101B and Alpha 121A.

One snippet from the conference was that the DDS are looking into the possibility of an unmanned transport ship to supplement the transport fleet and intended for hazardous cargoes / situations. The ship would likely be smaller than the River 75B but would still be capable. No word was given as to whether the DDS would proceed with designing such a ship. The Clones are developing an unmanned transport though the Horizon HZ has yet to enter service, it is due this year but as yet there have been no sightings or announcements.
