The efforts put in by those standing on our line and participating in our hyperspace raid tests has exceeded my expectations. The tests themselves have given us another avenue to pursue for improving the Achlys. Starting with the structural integrity, I've ordered an overhaul of internal reinforcements and the installation of new external refraction plating layered in sections and areas with reactive armor. This upgrade will stabilize the consistent issues with structural failures in certain maintenance sections during jump, and greatly reinforce our ability to withstand directed energy pulses. Engineering will need to conduct regular maintenance on the new armor systems at the Citadel following an estimated number of deployments that the plating can withstand before degrading.
I'd recommend contacting ALG once more to re-negotiate our discussions and include improvements to our drydocks.
