Due to issues with Project Viper, the High Command has initiated Project Gladius, which is based on the Durandal planform and uses an upgraded version of its RMD5L fusion engine. Armed with the same weapons (Mk 1 mines and 2 Mk 90 rail guns), it relies more on stealth, utilizing the the latest ''Next Phantom technology. Although its performance is not too far off from Viper, it's only marginally better than Durandal and is unable to match the Cobra. Flight tests will continue, however, and a flight of 4 test craft are scheduled for deployment in the new Dominator battleship carrier.
