"Greetings, nations of the world. My nation has charged me with the research of military transports, and, after long debate with my colleges, came to the conclusion that Imperial designs can not suite our needs of a large spersonic transport. We therefore ask for the nations of the world to design a large sized transport, capable of trans-oceanic travel at speeds of mach 2. At bare minimum, it must carry 150 tons. The winner will recieve a contract for one thousand of the aircraft, full production rights, and the like. I await to see the designs of the world."

"The Raysian design, compared to the other (OOC: pretend there were others :P ) designs most perfectly meets our needs, and we will contract the design as soon as we know what the cost of the unit is, and the crew."

Wow, I just make a random drawing in lightwave, render it, make up some stats, and BOOM, I'm 112 billion dollars richer :)

Your order is gladly confirmed, and you can expect them to arrive gradually over the next 14 months.
