				AFT in order to counter the Earth Government announced plans for a massive expanion outward into deep space. Ten AFT Colony Ships have been secretly completed and outfitted with small versions of the Hypertrael Tube suited for warp message drones to allow communication between AFT and its colonies.<br><br>After a recent run by the AFT Raptor Class Destroyer <em>Talon</em> on the Mercury to Pluto warp test run outpaced any Earth vessels speed to date by a respectable 17% faster on the time they have demonstrated they are now ahead of Earth government research. And the smaller and cheaper AFT Hyperdrives for commercial sales to Union pilots has allowed many Union vessels to now have warp drive capability. The ones used by AFT ship owners are the superior models used in the Warp Trials.<br><br>The first major expansion missions will be deployed in one week to near and distant systems which after research and study have substantional chance of habitation. Its expected two of these massive vessels will be lost.<br><br>On other news massive numbers of Light Colony Ships have left AFT space using normal hyperdrives to colonize planets closer to Sol and give AFT rights to choice assets first, most of these manned by convicts and their families wishing a new life.<br><br>In an announcement by the AFT CEO: <em>Let Earth claim Sol we can claim the rest under the Earth-AFT General Treaty if we land a sentient presence on a world we get it and all rights including non-habitable bodies in orbit, and we will get there first!</em><br><br>- General News Release

				~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>
