1. Naval Intelligence has received information regarding a new Vagyr attack corvette class, codenamed "Anteater" due to its long nose spike (possibly a sensor system or counterweight).This new 60m class vessel has six forward facing missile launch tubes or gun barrels on the side of the front fuselage, as well as a centreline primary directed energy weapons system. Information provided by the source quotes "capacity for fitting of VTOL engines for atmospheric close support roles where space to space external armaments are removed".
2. Navy sources have reported that preliminary construction of one of the Navy's advanced battlecruisers are underway in a classified location within the Federation of Cush star nation's territory. Two heavy transporter ships along with a pair of escort cruisers will depart the Low Orbital Transfer Station in support of this construction effort laden with ship construction materials within the next few days.
The Hiigaran News Service has identified the heavy transporters as the HAFS Savant and the HAFS Saint, both veterans of assault transport missions during the thick of combat action against the crusade of Makaan.
3. The Auxiliary Fleet is seeking volunteers to man transport and deep-space escort vessels slated for deployment into the Karelian Sector in support of the Eighth Fleet and indigenous populations at the destination. Personnel familiar with frontier living conditions and Vagyr customs are preferred.
