The first Lavender 105A unmanned long-range patrol ship has performed it's first operational mission. 105-101 Lavender conducted a three day survey of an asteroid belt in the Rim Worlds before returning to Solaris. The mission is said to have gone well with only one intervention needed by NS to remotely adjust a sensor setting.
The Lavender has yet to be fitted with worm drive due to delays in calibrating the new type. The first ship will be retrofitted with worm drive before the end of the year.
The Lavender is an optionally manned ship, it is thought a manned mission will be carried out soon to test this feature.
