The DDS have announced details of 3 ongoing projects for its Medium Combat Ship fleet.
Work on the first Proxima Centauri 42A is progressing with former Starsystem 91X M197T Mira now fully stripped down and worn parts of the superstructure replaced. The ship is expected to be completed for testing by the end of the year and will then undertake a full testing programme in 2117 ahead of the conversion of the rest of the fleet.
Preliminary work on the unified Isometric/Freedom classes to create the Cambrian 41G is also progressing with a number of updated components and systems to be tested on ships in the fleet this year. The DDS plan to begin the unification programme in 2118.
Also announced for the first time is an update for the Corkscrew 51A which is currently in series production. Corkscrew 51A 1.1 will commence from M212 Crescent later in the year and will include a number of improvements to combat systems including a much improved cyberwarfare protection system and improved docking facilities.
