Argrox moots separate Remedian fleet
Remedian Forces Commander-in-Chief Lord Argrox (and NS Politburo member) has said he would like the Remedians to have their own fleet again separate from the NS fleet. At the moment 5 Corkscrew 051As, 3 Perimpaz 039As (though these are about to be withdrawn) and 2 Extender 073As are operated by Remedian crews for operations along the border though remain officially part of the NS Fleet.
Argrox says he would prefer these ships to operate under the Remedian flag, working alongside the NS on integrated operations like other Tier 1 allies such as the Raegris. He is also pushing for an increase in the Remedian defence budget with the aim to increase the number of combat ships to 8 by 2120.

First Proxima Centauri enters service
M302 Mira, the first Proxima Centauri 042A rebuilt from a Starsystem, has entered service following extended new type proving trials. All 8 Starsystems and the Isometric-Prototype will be rebuilt and upgraded to the new type which is fully capable with worm drive, Z7 and TPM-2. Indeed a NS source says converting a Starsystem gives "90% of a Corkscrew for 60% of the price" and the programme is seen as a lower-cost way to boost the size of the Medium Combat Ship fleet.
The main disadvantage of the Proxima Centauri over a Corkscrew 051A is in operational flexibility and the ability to work with small craft and UCVs because of the small size of the legacy docking bay. The Proxima Centauris will likely be allocated patrol circuits where this lack of capacity will be less of an issue, such as along the Remedian/Utrek border.
