~Station X~ Deepspace<br/><br/>Christina Praxis-Davos owner and head of Station X was at one of the rather busy and vocal meetings of the Union respresentatives from all sides now concerned of the Sol defenses being raised. "Ladies and gentleman AFT is also concerned with your interests and ours as their official representative here let me go through some things I'm doing to counter this threat to your free trade.," a large computer screen activates.<br/><br/>"First the new class of warp drive and improved stealth designs are already under serious development as well as improved smuggler holds our first goal is to make any merchant ship look harmless, and hide the cargos.," several designs and tests are demonstrated.<br/><br/>"As for entering Sol they cannot hope to cover all possible routes of entry sufficiently 360 degrees in all directions from the Sun even above and below so we are also working on a sleek blockade runner approach at my shipyard, the ship will carry less cargo but be very fast and difficult to locate with sensors.," she shows several arrow shaped vessels of various configurations.<br/><br/>"There is no perfect defense to be effective these satellites must detect, have the ability to lock in and fire at a ship in time we are just trying to figure out how fast and effective they are to choose the best designs to market, and we will sell them at a modest price.," she shows projected abilities of the satellites.<br/><br/>"Right now we have one advantage your ships now being equiped for warp travel can go into Sol from any direction we suggest have your pilots look for openings and use the smaller vessels, while we work on our new projects and finalize plans.," she turns off the screen and sits back drinking some real coffee.<br/><br/>"We will not abandon our interests and we appreaciate your assistance with the colony plans let these people have Sol when our expansion is underway AFT and the Union will share the spoils of the galaxy, and any first contacts with new species and races.," she says calmly. "Think longer term at what AFT offers your factions and don't be so critical.," she says and lets the other talk.<br/><br/>
