The Starbotians have committed to their order for 5 Corkscrew Medium Combat Ships. Deliveries were due to begin later this year but that has now been pushed back to 2116. Defence chief K-1 said the ships were very good warships and needed to rebuild the Starbotian fleet.
The configuration of the Corkscrews will change, the original order was for full DDS spec ships, that has now changed to an export spec which replaces some equipment with commercially available systems. The ships will retain TPM capabilities, Starbot has its own factory building TPMs in any case, but will not be fitted with worm drive. The ships will be fitted for the drive however and Starbot may try and buy the drives off the Dinos with whom they have a very long relationship.
