Foe Hammer
04-04-2004, 05:25
Weapons of war continue to cruise the galaxy for the Empire of Foe Hammer. We do this to compensate for being abused, raided, invaded, as a young, weak nation. Now, we set out sites on productive efforts- understanding the everlasting question, "Why are we here, what is our purpose, and what is the average velocity of an African Swallow?"
Foe Hammer has cut off all international contact to focus on more productive efforts, and technological advancements.
During this exile, we have changed out the Fusion engines on many of our smaller vessels, upgrading to more effective, less power-consuming systems. The shiny new T-904 Fission Reactors on small Foe Hammer vessels have an operating power approximately three times larger than that available from the most energetic chemical reactions, and with the massive reduction in fissionable material consumption, these engines have proven to be more efficient than the standard Fusion engines previously employed by small Foe Hammer vessels. Though the specific impulse has been reduced to half of the original Fusion power, it is a cheaper, less complex system. Speific details have been classified.
Now, on to the real reason of this announcement. As stated above, Foe Hammer is now focusing on the more important questions. To accomplish this task, designers and engineers have been entangled in an ongoing melee over system designs, functions, and other small details. Finally, designers and engineers compromised on a final design, to be christened the Langley-class Science Vessel.
[And, in standard tradition, the part of the thread for people who hate to read.]
