2290s
Summary
- Over 100 buoy tenders are active.[1]
- Continuing Okinawa light frigate operations in this decade is an unexpected bonus.[2]
- The remaining ground-based Benares-type hoppers serve on their last battlefields.[3]
- Direct deployment of hoppers to battlefields is deemed too risky in the threat environment already, with increasing medium range phaser activity.[3]
