NS released OSINT on Tarbotian, Mutre Bee new warships

New Sparta has released some OSINT on new Tarbotian and Mutre Bee warships which have been recently been detected by NS and allied ships. The Tarbotians are said to be continuing to refine their existing types. A new version of the Kenora cruiser was detected with a higher power signature and what appears to be a larger dorsal weapons bay. This has been called Kenora Type M by NS (the Tarbotian designation is unknown).

A new version of the backbone Samara has also been detected, also with a higher power signature and higher performance. Provisionally this has been called the Samara VI by NS. Another ship was also detected, however details are sketchy. It is thought to be a light cruiser or heavy destroyer. NS has termed it Sloop 2122.

The Mutre Bee ship detected by the Dinos was similar to the small nimble destroyers encountered by NS before but with what appears to have a heavier armament.
