The DDS was trying to keep the order for its Raegris built Fleet Combat Ships under wraps until after the election but it was leaked by the Raegris and UNP media over the weekend prompting the DDS to make the announcement officially. So its now confirmed the DDS will buy 12 RC-2B derived ships to be called the Mulberry 36A. The DDS will also keep an option for 3 more to be added to the order.
The ships will be equipped with a Z7 cannon, TPM launchers, TPM-VLS batteries and an extensive docking bay to support special forces operations. The first ship could enter service by the Autumn of 2115.
