Type 35Z enters trials, named Revolution

The Type 35Z, the latest development of the main NS cruiser design, has begun lengthy trials which should take up the rest of the year at least. The Type 35Z, which has been named Revolution, is a multi-mode ship which can operate in planetary atmospheres as well as space. The Revolution's atmospheric capabilities will be used for ground attack and ground support.

Compared to an existing Type 35 (the Revolution has the same dimensions as the Kinetic), it has twin turbines for atmospheric operation as well as triple landing rockets. A number of aerodynamic changes have also been made including wing extensions outside of the weapon pods.

After the successful completion of trials NS will decide if they will produce more ships like the Revolution, the full review into the NS armed forces will also play a role here.
