DF has two Alpha Centauri 93A training ships, plus a third which was going to join the fleet though has ended up being cannibalised to keep the other two going, for use in aggressor training. The ships are ex-Bolitic Helwin destroyers and are well regarded but DF are having trouble in keeping the ships going due to their age and a lack of spares. Plus the ships are now considered obsolete and not really that relevant to the kind of threat DF ships now face.
DF has decided to withdraw the ships by the end of the year. Instead, they will maintain a fleet of 4 or 5 Nectar 52A Medium Combat Ships in the aggressor role. DF was considering to sell them but Triple Megan have said they cannot afford to buy them for a number of years yet. DF have twelve Nectars and will begin to phase them out soon. The ships not retained are likely to be kept as a source of spares.
