Message to Dr. Razanal from admiral Ariana Crowe:

Progress on the Requiem continues to be on schedule. The vessel is nearing completion, with only the propulsion and a few other systems not yet completed.

We performed a live fire test of its main weapon, the Oblivion laser system, right off the dock yesterday with good results. The laser was able to successfully destroy the derelict Event Horizon-class ship we were using as a target in a single shot, piercing all the way through the vessel and breaking it in two.

The recharge rate of the weapon was somewhat lower than expected due to a minor miscalculation, and I've since modified the design slightly to increase the number of reactors attached to the main power storage unit (updated blueprints are attached to this message), bringing the recharge time back to the intended number of eighteen hours.

If all goes well, the ship will be ready to launch and begin combat operations within the week.
