Ithuanian Press Release

03-01-2004, 06:45
The Republic of Ithuania is pleased to announce that it has just completed large purchase of spacecraft from Xanthal as part of its ongoing upgrade of its Interstellar Defense Force. These spacecraft, ranging from hospitals and transports to hulking fighting ships, will be used in the creation of five new fleets centered around the Super Dreadnaught heavy tactical warship. The commissioning of these fleets, anticipated to take place in approximately eight years, will coincide with the decommissioning of three current Interstellar Defense Fleets, and a total retrofit of a fourth. This will give the Republic of Ithuania a total of eight mobile Interstellar Defense Fleets that are rapidly deployable to any localized threat.

The Republic of Ithuania will take delivery of these ships over the next six years, and has just signed a 30,000 SOV (approximately $200,000,000,000) contract with Equipment Customization, Inc., based in the Ithuanian capital of Retzin, to apply the appropriate insignia to the fleets.
