Twenty Nectar fighters have been transferred from the Mutre Bee Organisation fleet to New Sparta to help plug the gaps after war losses. The Nectar 52As are classified as light destroyers and will be crewed by joint MBO and NS personnel during an orientation period with full NS crewing later on.
The ships have undergone some modifications so they can operate in the NS fleet including changes to the communication systems, data link integration and the fitting of a TPM-VLS cell. The interiors have also been modified and system interfaces changes to the standard NS user interface.
The second batch of five will be completed in the early Autumn, NS hopes for all twenty to be in service by the end of the year.
