The DDS have given a full commitment to develop the rebuilding of the legacy Starsystem 91B fleet to a new class of Medium Combat Ships known as the Proxima Centauri 42A. All 8 Starsystems will be upgraded to this new standard which is similar to the Isometric prototype and Isometric itself also be rebuilt to become the 9th ship by 2120. Work will begin next year it is hoped.
To replace the Starsystems in the training role 6 Pentekonter 44Ts will be built, a training optimised version of the Pentekonter though retaining the ability to be used for minesweeping too if needs be.
The DDS also announced today that the Isometric and Freedom classes of ship will be merged. The Isometric MULE upgrade and Freedom ILU will produce a common fleet of ships which will be known as the Cambrian 41G. This will take place within the next couple of years and produce a unified fleet of 22 ships by 2120.
