Molab agree 5.1 billion zark deal with NS for ships, upgrades
Molab has signed a 5.1 billion zark contract with New Sparta for new ships and upgrades as they seek to strengthen their already potent fleet. Molab say these additions (detailed below) will be the final actions of the current "generation" of their fleet. Work will now begin on planning for the next generation of the fleet in the late 2120s and 2130s which will include replacements for the Kalahati Tuuls.
The new ships ordered are 3 Pentekonter Protector 259Ms, these will have e-Core engines. The existing fleet of E1M Pentekonters will also be refurbished and updated to a standard 259M standard.
In a change of policy Molab is to use the Depender as its mine sweeper director ship and have ordered 2 759Ms for the role. Their single Isometric ME mine sweeper director will be upgraded to EMM2 standard along with their 3 EMM Isometrics. The upgrade will include TPM-VLS and improved sensors. Delivery dates are still being negotiated though Molab say they hope the new ships and upgrades will be completed by 2120.
