Senator Krusty visits NS GHQ

The Dino Minister of Intelligence Services Krusty has visited NS GHQ on Proxima 5. He met with Viceroy Caratore and various recent matters were discussed. Krusty is understood to have accepted Caratore's assertion that the MBO attack on an SS facility on Dino-Land was not sanctioned by New Sparta and may have been a rogue MBO unit.

However, Caratore said that the Dino Empire was making a big mistake by allowing the rebel Real DDS to operate from their territory. Krusty said that Real DDS had been offered a sanctuary though were not getting material assistance from the Dinos.

Although the talks did not end in any resolution it is thought they did help ease the tensions between MBO-New Sparta and the Dino Empire. Krusty is understood to be now travelling to Starbot.

NS Logistics Command wants new transports by 2127

NS Logistics Command has said it wants new transports based on the next generation Modular Logistics Platform (MLP) by 2127. The reason for this is the current stretched status of the NS transport and oiler fleet which is struggling to fulfil all NS commitments. Later this decade NS will need to begin a MULE programme for it's Provider and Extender fleets if they are to serve into the next 2130s. Obviously a ship having a rebuild and upgrade cannot be in service at the same time!

The problem for NS is that they have yet to finalise the MLP or do any final design work for ships based on MLP. Designing, building, testing and commissioning new transports and oilers by 2127 may be difficult. One option NS is said to be looking at is to buy back ships built for export customers. NS has sounded out Starbot if it is interested in selling it's Providers and Extenders to NS, or at the very least leasing them out.
