The Labule, operator of the space forces of the Socialist Republic of Xanthal, announced today that its new fleets will be officially commissioned tomorrow. "All the pieces are in place. The construction and testing has been completed, and we're very pleased with the results," said Minister of Military Spooj Abrisal early today in his press conference. The military overhaul called for the refit and restructuring of the Labule's fifteen existing fleets, and the construction of eight new fleets. That, combined with the integration of the former Nahbule's troop transports into the Labule, is the basis for the first expansion of the Xanthalian military in the integrated nation's five year history. Its last expansion was authorized under the rule of Mirfakan Alphin Kevin Ailes and completed in 300, shortly after Vinessa Burkavik took office. Updated ship and fleet specifications for the Labule are expected when the troop transport and restructured existing fifteen fleets are formally recommissioned tomorrow. The twenty-first fleet will be commissioned next year, and each successive new fleet completed and commissioned at one year intervals.
