A few years ago the Dinos developed the Dinomark LM, intended to be the replacement for the venerable Dinomark XT. Unfortunately due to design flaws and technical niggles production of the LM was cancelled after thirty-five were built. The Dinos decided to go back to the drawing board and have completely redesigned the LM.
The Dinomark LM Mark 2 (LM/2) looks pretty much the same as the Mark 1 but has a completely different internal layout, updated systems and a new engine. Following an extended proving trial the LM/2 has been finally cleared for production. This is about nine months late but the Dino Army said they wanted to make sure. Forty nine more are on order. The current prototype will now be used for training and integration.
Once sufficient LM/2s have been built, the Dinos plan to rebuild their LM/1 fleet as the LM/1A which will use as much technology as possible from the Mark 2 and a heavily modified internal layout. This work will probably begin in around 2126. Production of the XT is also likely to finally finish at the same time.
