The remaining Starbotian fleet has been largely absorbed back into the New Sparta fleet, the ships having already been part of the NS fleet in the past. The ships will retain Starbotian crews and will be allocated to the Starbotian sector defence. Only the three remaining Starbotian designed ships including I-1A Iona will remain separate as part of the Starbotian VIP flotilla.
VP Operations Caratore, on Starbot to meet with S101, said the ships would be upgraded to match the latest NS standard over the coming year.

Olympus 23A
023-110 Mekanaka

035-111 Margay
Indy 35B
035-210 Inflexible
