Although production of the second generation Repulse 51B has only just begun, NS is already working on the third batch of twenty ships (Type 51C) which will be built late in this decade and in the early 2130s. An NS source said that the Type 51C may be capable of operating in atmospheres, the design team is working with the Revolution 35Z team analysing data and assisting computer modelling.
"If the Revolution is a success then we feel it will herald the future of the NS fleet, thus we will want the 51C to be part of that." Dr Forbidden said at a briefing.
