The final two Sentinel 55A light patrol craft, which have been on standby since October, have been stood down from service. They will remain officially active until the end of the year though it is unlikely they will leave port now. This is the first of the UNP Space Patrol legacy fleet to be withdrawn after transfer to NS.
Their role has been largely taken over by the Okra 86L, a version of the Coril shuttle. NS said they have placed an order for a further four Okras which will be built in 2121 during the next ship building plan.
