"This is Feyd Aurion, out at the Boneyard. What you see behind me is an amazing sight-- a full fifth of our destroyer class airships, being disassembled. Air Navy Command has ordered that all existing destroyers be grounded as they return home from their missions and dismantled, citing their excessive maintenance and crew requirements compared to other vessels in the fleet. The grounding of the destroyer class airships will mark the end of a chapter in the Navy, as they were the last of the older model runway based designs. Of some concern is how the crews of these massive vessels will be reassigned, though there is some speculation that they will be retrained and dispersed across the fleet, or assigned to the Space Forces. From the Boneyard, this is Feyd Aurion."
