The CPW-Trotsky has completed its first test of the new Hessian enhanced engine array.
The field trials took the vessel out to the Cambridge system and back again under heavy escort by the Red Hessians. The Corsairs never even got close to seeing it.
The new cruiser proves remarkably agile through asteroid fields, as demonstrated by the Trotsky “threading the needle” in Cambridge.
Arsenal outfitting will commence at Sevastapol Depot once this broadcast is complete.
Also the X-02 was launched at the same time, to be re-designated Kurt-Eisner and take standing station over the Omega-5 jump hole, relieving the venerable Destroyer class vessel that will be retired from service.
X-03, the CPW-Savelovski and the X-04, CPW-ComIntern are nearing hull completion and ready to be launched. X-05, CPW-Nasser, under construction at the Red Hessian shipyars will be completed soon after.
Analysis of the Order RECON technology is proceeding well, the system already being outfitted to the CPW-Hanoi for initial trial testing, while larger units are being fitted to the CPW-Trotsky, CPW-Savelovski and CPW-Nasser. Additional technological secrets, unlocked from studying both the RECON ship and the Imperator class Gunboat Harvester_74 will be incorporated into the ship line as it proceeds.
I am also to report that the CPW-Havana and CPW-Karl.Marx have put into Sevastapol Depot to undergo an extensive refit to ensure that our flagships are fitted with the very latest advances in Coalition technology.
Test flights of the new SV-05-Gamma fighters are due to begin at the end of the month, and it is hoped that the new fighter line will see front line action shortly.
