In a recent feasibility study, the hand phasers and disrupters currently used by the Xanthalian Armada and Military were found to be well below effectiveness and feasibility standards. As such, both organizations will be switching to a slightly modified version of a High Guard force lance within the next few years.

Rights to manufacture force lances have been aquired from the nation of Terra Alliance, and the transition will be complete in about two years. Some modifications to the original design will be made before the lance is commissioned.

We find the E-11 Blaster rifle still suits our navy perfectly. If it inadequete, we will modify the blaster rifle. you'll find it's cheaper in the long run.

The Xanthalian Armada and Military are devoted to quality over quantity. Though it may be more cost-effective to use normal blasters as weapons, we must take the force lances because of their greater functionality and effectiveness. In fact, when you figure in the money we'll save on other devices that the force lance nullifies the need for, they are actually cheaper.

Certainly. Though we will require some sort of payment. How does $100 per phaser and $50 per disrupter sound?

I would like to buy 100,000 of the blasters and disruptors. Is there any way of getting the force lances, if so I would like 50,000 of the lances. Also thanks again for the battlecruisers that you sold a while ago they have come in handy.

Anyway... I like round numbers, so I'll discount your price to $500,000,000 USD. We'll ship those out to you over the next few weeks (NS time) Pablicosta.

Koilos Incarnate: All the phasers and disrupters have been sold. You can buy manufacturing rights to them, if you want. At the moment, no force lance equipment is for sale.
