The Imperial Thunderstraat Navy is proud to announce plans for the ITN Victory™, the new flagship. More than three miles in diameter, the Victory™ has been described by one admiral as "the last flagship we'll ever need." Powered by the Greenstar powercore technology, this will have almost unlimited energy. Plants deep in the interior will create munitions and interceptors through direct energy-to-matter conversion. Hundreds of feet of armor will combine with an enormous force field to make this starship nearly invincible. Dozens of laser cannon and artillery will be used against planets and capital ships, while interceptors and S2S missiles will be used against smaller craft. The standard working crew will be in the thousands. Enormous engines will push this behemoth through the stars, aided by the Greenstar exhaust. More than ten percent of the entire mass (calculated to be in the planetoidal levels) will be taken up by the hyperdrive, which in itself could not be run without the Greenstar engine. The whole thing will only take ten years to create, one of the miracles of Greenstar technology.
One of our highest-level officials was not reported saying that this could kill a Colossus.

After three years, we are ahead of schedule, despite the terrorist bombing of an engine, and have completed the Greenstar core and both engines. Half of the 108 torpedo/missile bays are being shipped as we speak.

The Victory has been finished well ahead of schedule, because the Greenstars have faced some serious malfunctions in battle tests. It is powered by simple fusion right now, until the bugs are worked out. Anther one is in production.

The Scarecrows acknowledge Thunderstraat as a fellow space nation, and extends their hand in friendship.

'We would be immensely honoured if the people of Thunderstraat considered us as allies. Perhaps, if they would be so bold, as to venture upon our newly launched City Ship Soren as a sign of friendship.'

- Lord-Mayor Nina Sawyers of the City Ships A'tuin, Hiigara, Megaroad and now Soren

*We would be honored. We humbly accept.*
A ship set out from Pinkett's Star for the Soren, with Crown Prince Adam II de Berg aboard. It had been a hectic week and he needed a vacation.
