Dorvish and Lodamese defense industries agree to military-technical cooperation.
October, 5566
Officials from Dorvische Werft, FärberKiesel AG and Lievlandseewerke met with officers from the Supreme General Staff's Foreign Defense Office and the Military Technical Department in Haldor to discuss joint military technical cooperation with Lodamese corporations. The Lodamun representatives and officials were from Cowgill-Masterson Maritime Engineering and Dodson Shipyards, producers of several vessels within the Lodamese Navy that the Dorvish are eyeing to produce domestically. The meet focused on two primary vessels: the St. Christopher-class amphibious assault ship and the Portswood-class amphibious transport dock. According to source close to the Supreme General Staff and the Dorvish Navy, the Dorvish have an increased need for enhanced amphibious assault capabilities and have sought to expand the capabilities of their naval infantry and marine forces, collectively known as the Seebattalionen. The Dorvish, already long considered the pioneers of airborne assaults, both through helicopter-based assaults and parachute-based assaults, have sought to add another strength to their impressive arsenal that is the Dorvish Armed Forces. The series of meetings, which last approximately 5 days, and covered a number of both legal and financial topics, ultimately resulted in an agreement in which the Dorvish defense industry's shipbuilding corporations would produce the vessels underneath a consortium with Lodamese assistance and Lodamun would receive a portion of any purchase for the licensing agreement. It is unknown what the vessels will be named, it is speculated that the St. Christopher-class will be known as the Dorvik-class and the Portswood-class will be known as the Vilnau-class, but that remains to be seen and will be determined by the Military Technical Department of the OGS.
