[Message Begins]
As you may of noticed, production of the KSD Line of craft has almost ceased, save for a relatively tiny portion being built for new recruits. This is not a weakness on the part of the glorious Coalition. Indeed, it is a sign of strength. Work on the XKR Line has gone slowly, but it is in the final stages of completion.
The XKR's use the absolute latest in Coalition technology, including knowledge gained from the Gallics and [CLASSIFIED]. The KSD Line uses technology that went obsolete years ago. The KSD's cannot even be recycled, as everything in the KSD's are obsolete, even the metals used are inferior to that of the XKR's.
As such, you are to treat the KSD Line as HIGHLY EXPENDABLE. In a short amount of time, we will be phasing out the KSD Line in favor of the better in every way XKR's. Take risks, and take out as many enemies as you can before ejecting. Every ship that is destroyed in the line of combat is one less ship we have to worry about when it comes time to send the KSD Line into the sun. Make us proud.
