CPNN - Special Report
UIC Department of Defense, Crossman City, Crossmanus Prime
The United Imperium of Crossman's Defense Department has announced that it will begin phasing out its older less efficient starships in favor of newer classes being deisgned by the Department of Research and Development. The Defense Department has yet to state whether the older vessels will be mothballed, scrapped, or perhaps sold to other nations. Desfense Secretary Tarkin said that the Imperial Navy has been in need of serious house cleaning lately and the best place to start being to make room for newer more capable vessels.
Secretary Tarkin said that in years past the Navy has looked to bigger, more powerful ships, but that now the Navy may begin work on smaller, yet very powerful ships that could be mass produced.
Tarkin said, "We want to increase our power and our numbers, but in order to do both and be cost effective we must look towards large numbers of smaller vessels as oppossed to building more and more large bulky vessels that drain money and manpower. I intend to make the Imperial Navy even more of a force to be reckoned with than it already is."
Lord Tarkin did not give any details as to the newer vessels or any of their capabilities.
