Republic fleet

Singapore's navy has launched a new patrol vessel designed to detect and combat unmanned threats, including drones and uncrewed surface or aerial systems. The Straits Times reported the launch, which reflects the Republic of Singapore Navy's push to modernise its fleet against emerging autonomous warfare threats in regional waters.

A fifth chapter titled 'Fleet Manoeuvres In The Dark' has been published, continuing a science fiction serial. In the story, the Republic fleet pursues a Cadir incursion fleet, but tracking hostile ships in the void proves difficult, with jumpgates offering only limited clues and destruction often the best indication of enemy movement.
