We here at TransCorp have often wondered, "What is the most extravagant object in NS?"

Is it the Sirithil-Class Luxury Oceanliners? The Harukazi Luxury jet? The floating cities of Wazzu? The glamourous cities of Menelmacar? The Martian domes of Sunset? The Derkesthai Lunar Forests? The Angelus casino spaceship? The Tahar Joblis giant blimp?

We couldn't really agree on what was, but we could agree on something else. We had the technology to build and sell a vechicle of such luxury as to put all the others to shame. A solar yacht.

Many nations have experimented with solar sails, and so far, all have failed commercially. Why? Because no one has yet realized the market potential to wealthy world citizens. And because no one has the experiance in materials science to match TransCorp's Wazzu partner, Oren Moore Inc.

So it is with great pleasure that we announce TransCorp is open to the contract construction of solar yachts to the wealthy citizens of the world. To the billionaire, or even the multi-hundreads-millionaire with too much time on his or her hands, there will be no better way to show their wealth then a months long cruise on their own interplanetary solar space yacht.

****The First Yacht****

At an amazingly light 24,000 kilograms, the ISS SunSpirit features over 4 square kilometers of sail, making it one of the largest civilian vessels in the solar system. Fully outfitted, it is a gift from TransCorp's CEO and primary shareholder Nike Wang to his granddaughter Liz Wang. The SunSpirit was built for 900 million US Dollars from the Wazzu ISS based construction facility.


****Details of Sale****

Each yacht is custom built to the purchasers specifications, with a TransCorp engineering and archetecture team to work with designers of the clients hiring.

Each yacht will employ a solar sail of any of many various types that can be one or many square kilometers in area.

Each yacht will have many other standard features including emergency fusion or fission power supply with ion engine (or other as provided by client), sail-integrated antenna for amazing signal reception range and clairity, magnetic and solid radiation shielding (better then on Earth), a navigational and full ship control (non-sentient) AI, and many others.

Optional features include anything the client would like, from aeroponic gardens to jacuzzis.

All yachts will also come standard with the civilian sport model of TransCorp's Phoenix Flyer, an amazing little fusion-pushed craft for near-planet and between-ship uses (with 1-4 person models available to choose from).

Nevermind, too lazy to explain that I want it for a head of state's recreational purposes and not as a warship.

We would wish to purchase one of these for an ally, how big can you build them? we can supply backup power supply, AI, and defensive weaponry.

We? Weapons? For an ally? My friend, I think you do not understand.

These are solar yachts, made for well off individuals as personal pleasure craft. They are not warships and ill suited as such. Nor are they really practical for national uses.

If you are an individual with spare time and money, and want to show that off or to take amazing vacations, you are quite welcome to buy one. But they really are not meant for anything else.
