Island States Interstellar News (ISIN)

"Today, The Island States government agreed to sell the prototype First Generation Solid-State Hyperspace Module to the Federation of the Sentient Peoples.

'We do this in the hope, not only of acquiring more funds in support of Socialism, but to improve relations between the USR and the FSP,' President Newman of TIS reportedly said. 'By giving them FTL technology, we open the possibility of trade and assistance between our two peoples.'

The device and its technical manuals/schematics, which currently has a jump range of 50 light years and gave rise to the ISASF's grand vision of interstellar flight, is being sold for 10,000,000,000 SUMUs (USR currency)."

"... And in corporate news today, DragonStar Shipbuilding's stock is rising, though despite no new Federal Contracts, they announced today that they had recieved an order from the Islands States and the USR, with whom trading was recently reauthorized by the Federal Government. The order was for one of DragonStar's export Omniship designs, and will be including the latest in technologies, including the Island States' Solid State Hyperdrive. The possibility of further orders has caused specualtion in the markets, which has further inflated DragonStar's stock."
