New Sparta has placed an order for two more Zephyr 76A Fast Fleet Tankers. These are fleet supply ships based on the Velocity/Solaris platform, eight are currently in service. Although much smaller than the Extender 73A the Zephyr can keep up with fast fleet deployments. One tends to be always allocated to the Rapid Reaction Force.
VP Operations Caretore said the extra ships would allow for greater flexibility and ensure coverage especially when the fleet goes through a major overhaul (one is likely in a few years as the oldest ships are now about five years old).
