Official Announcement of the Government of the United States of Allanea and Allanean Arms, Inc. on the subject of the Rabinovich Decoder

Allanean Arms, Incorporated, and the Government of the United States of Allanea are glad to announce the completion of the Red Sea project. The first part of the Red Sea project, was, as many already know, the building of an FTL jamming device operating on the Rabinovich principle (that is, the famous Rabinovich Disturbance). This was, as far as we know, the first artificial Rabinovich Disturbance generator built, and it was built by Allaneans. While, obviously, the Red Sea Jammer was nowhere near the scale of natural Rabinovich Disturbance events, it did allow us for a safe testing ground for experiments with the Rabinovich Decoder.

In the above announcement, the term 'safe' is obviously a relative term – the experiments caused the loss of a Hive-class vessel and all equipment on board, and further the wounding of an Allanean Arms employee by a micro-meteorite. However, after millions of expenditures and hours of work by government personnel, Allanean Arms employees, and independent researchers such as professor Rabinovich himself, it is finally ready – the Rabinovich Decoder.

The Decoder, a simple piece of harware linkable to on-board navigational computers of any space vessel through the use of simple USB or PS/2 ports, will modulate their hyperdrive, foldspace, warp or slipstream drives (and other drives of similar principle) in tune with the Disturbance, in such a way that will allow travel to areas affected by the Disturbance. The obvious disadvantage of the Decoder is that it is RAM-programmed, and only fit to this species of subspace disturbance.

Given the fact that, under the terms of the contract, the rights for the Decoder have been transferred to the United States Government, it is currently not for sale.

SUBJECT: PROGRESS

The Rabinovich Decoder is capable of parting the waters. Project Red Sea complete. The below is a full status report on Project Egypt:

Project Delilah: complete
Project Zikaron: complete
Project Yeziat Mizraim: complete
Project Red Sea: Complete
Project Forty-First Day: Searching for candidates
Project Moses' Army: Final Stages
Project Wiesental: R&D stage
Project True God: Early R&D stage

Is it possible for us to receive aid with project Forty-First Day from Taraskovyan industrial companies? Further, are you aware of any governments or private bodies outside the Federation that would aid us with any of the unfinished projects?

OOC: Do me a favour. If you ignore/hate Allanea, do not post here about it. Message me about if you wish. Leave me alone and don't spam my threads with it. That is all.

SUBJECT: RE: PROGRESS

Find attached a dossier on the relevant Federal private companies that can be contacted with a contract offer, containing extensive data on all relevant companies that you might need in the mentioned project. Once you contact them with a contract offer, they will receive additional Federal 'incentives' to cooperate.

The Federation will, at present time, not intervene officially into any events unless its citizens come under a direct threat.

The Kaskad will, as always, monitor the situation closely and provide assistance where and whenever possible.

OOC: You're future tech, and still using USB and PS/2 ports! Im glad to see technology hasn’t changed much over the time :)

From a non-future tech nation, congratulations on your advance
