Utrek split into rival factions
The Utrek Federation has totally collapsed according to Raegris intelligence officers who have been examining the Utrek since its defeat at the hands of the Mantae. At least 5 successor states have formed based around major planets in the former Utrek Federation and there have already been skirmishes between these new powers as they jockey for position and seek to add unaligned planets.
Central authority has gone, the vacuum caused by the utter destruction of the Utrek homeworld and the state apparatus. The Raegris said that the Utrek were very centralised, maybe more so than previously thought and therefore the loss of the central authority has thrown the whole system into chaos.
The Bolitic are getting involved in this new reality. They had already been involved with the Utrek in the war against the Mantae (dozens of houses fighting as mercenaries). Now it has been recorded various Bolitic ships visiting the successor state based around Molentic and they may have even joined the Molentic Utrek in skirmishes against other successor factions.

Protector 57A prototype to be rebuilt from existing Pentekonter
Departmental Fleet Pentekonter 044-113 Paris has begun a conversion to what could be a major new type of light patrol ship. The ship will be rebuilt as the prototype Protector 57A. This is expected to be ready by the end of the year then will take part in a contest with the Mariner 56A prototype. The winner of the contest (expected to be decided next Summer) will then be built in large numbers to replace the ex-UNP SP fleet.
The specification of the Protector is still being developed but will include a Proton RM-01 e-Core engine. Two 8-cell VLS batteries with a mix of TPM and other missiles carried and a Z6m cannon. The Protector will also have improved docking facilities though the prototype is not expected to have as extensive a docking bay as any production examples.
As for the first (and so far only) Mariner it has begun a series of evaluation trials. Impressions so far are good though the ship is much smaller and more limited than the Protector (which is expected to win).
