The Armada announced today plans to add approximately 100 ships to its fleet over the next ten years. This will make the Xanthalian Armada 400 starships strong and add a significant number of support craft and fighters to the force as well. In other news, the immense drain on personnel generated by the thirty thousand slipfighters (each of which operates with one pilot) in the Xanthalian Armada has raised the possibility of automation with Xanthalian AIs. This measure is still in the planning stages, but is expected to be complete by the time the new fleet expansion is finalized.
