The DDS are currently testing their first major development of worm drive technology which they originally obtained from the Dinos in return for transphasic technologies. Dozens of Electron W1A worm drives are in service and the power boosted W1AA for larger ships is also now being rolled out.
The Election W1B will see a speed increase (said to be on average 300-400ec depending on ship geometry) as well as more efficient power use and improved maintenance. The first W1Bs could be rolled out to ships in mid-2116.
