With exports of ships starting to dwindle, NS is looking at an upgrade to it's Pentekonter Protector export patrol ship. Sales have been high of this type but the backlog is starting to empty with new orders hard to find.
A new Pentekonter 480 model is in development to replace the existing 380 high end model. This will likely have the larger docking bay of the Violet 57B and an upgraded engine based on the engine used in the Rome. Performance will be increased though details of this have yet to be revealed.
