Sirikwan delay withdrawal of Nerval transports

Following an inspection of the seven strong fleet, the Sirikwanese have announced that their ex-HCS Nerval transports will remain in service until 2124 due to the war situation. They had been expected to begin a phase out at the end of this year but now all will be withdrawn together as they reach the end of their fatigue lives.

Sirikwan has also inspected it's fleet of Helwin cruisers which were also due to be withdrawn in the mid-2120s. All six have been cleared to operate until 2128 at the latest though one or two may need to be withdrawn a couple of years before that.
