Plans of a massive re-design of the UGTO fleet have been leaked from an unidentified source.

Head of star ship research and design, Relaia Calerin, has made several statements over the past few months about the lack of funding into the R&D sector, and her disappointment in the UGTO Senate over the decision to cut funding two years ago, shortly after the Carrier Re-establishment act was amended. Recently, however, Calerin has been very quiet, and sources have been talking about massive budget increases in R&D across the board.

For close to 12 years now, UGTO vessels have been outfitted with the same weaponry, with few advancements being made in terms of weapons systems or ship designs. Many Commanders have been worried over the lack of support from the Senate regarding keeping their warships competitive if the technological arena.

Commander R. S. Pear of the Mercenary Assault Division had this to say:
"We have been expected to stave off the increasing threat posed by the K'Luth Empire and the FarStars in what amount to no more than antiquated turtles! If this is an example of progress, then I shall have to order my cheesecake elsewhere!”

To support the recent leaks, it has also been noted that the Bifrost Fleet Foundry has also begun a major overhaul of their facilities. This is something that hasn't happened in quite some time, although there was a minor refit two years ago with the modifications to the Agincourt Carrier fleet. Many UGTO citizens remembered this as a proud time, and a wave of renewed support followed for Chancellor Mato's government, although much disappointment soon followed along with the subsequent budget cuts.

We asked for statements from the Bifrost Foundry and the Senate, but both refused to comment. Relaia Calerin was also unavailable, and has so far been unreachable via the normal channels.
