I can verify Yolander's assertion that our Drone operations are proceeding excellently.
The ongoing refit of our Drones with advanced scanners is coming along as fast as finances permit.
Their extended range and superior capabilities will serve us well in the field.
Testing has shown that we will be able to secure detailed scans from well outside most ships' weapons range.
Their speed and mobility will make them very difficult to target, also making them quite difficult to destroy despite their relative fragility. No expense has been spared to make them as light, fast and technologically capable as is possible.
Several units have been fully completed and are available for duty, with dozens more in process.
I expect that these units will serve us and our Allies very well indeed.
