Attention all FT nations: Xanthal seeks technology.

The Socialist Republic of Xanthal has recently commissioned a prototype of a general purpose starship of moderate size. However, the technology Xanthal is able to construct is insufficient to serve several aspect functions of the new class, dubbed the Henibtilal. Therefore, the military is seeking bids on several items that the ship will require to be fully functional. These technologies will be purchased on a per-unit basis. We are not interested in manufacturing rights at this time. The list below summarizes our needs. It may grow as further expansions to the project are explored. Please look it over and make a construction and delivery bid for any of the items you are willing and able to provide, along with a summary of the specifications for your specific product if possible. Note that all products offered must be sufficiently compact and efficient to fit within the working hull design if they are to be accepted.

Thank you to all nations and private interests that submit bids,
Spooj Abrisal
Minister of the Military
Socialist Republic of Xanthal
