-Special News Report-

Due to the recent problem with the claimage of Mercury, the TSP was sent frantically looking for another planet. Much to the dismay of the Program, all the planets in Sol were taken, so the TSP looked elsewhere.

Today, they found it. A planet was found in a Mercury like condition in a system 20.5 lightyears from the outskirts of the Sol system. the Planet was close to the sun, and is only a bit bigger than Mercury itself. This planet was claimed and was named Upsilon. The entire colony, shield, forest and all has been uplifted at major expense and is currently on transport to the new system. The system has been named The "Upsilon" system, and contains three planets: Upsilon, Grothe and Atlas

The colony should be in place and fully operational in 10 years, all three planets are rich in Mineral, and mining operations are commencing on Upsilon, but the other three are open for mining rights. all three planets are claimed unter the Administration of the TSP, but colonization and mining rights are up for sale for the other two planets. with the exception of 5000 sq Kilometers in the northern hemisphere claimed as Torontonias Soveign Territoy. (For refrence Grothe is roughly half the size of jupiter, without the gas and Atlas is roughly the size of Neptune)

OOC: *COUGH!* Less than a lightyear away from Sol? Impossible! Alpha Centauri, the closest star to Sol, is 4.5 lightyears away. Do you know anything about astronomical measurements?

Could be that the system somehow was displaced and moved there :)

OOC: Sorry, it was 11:30, and it had been a long day, I knew something wasn't right with that, I'll proboly change it

IC: In yesturdays news report there was a variation in the location, the System isn't 8 million kilometers from Sol, its 18 lightyears away, past Alpha Centauri, so thats the 4.5 lightyears to Alpha Centari, plus 18 lightyears, and you'll end up in that system.
