The Comet Cruise Line is the main budget player in the Neo Kirisuban home worlds.

With the establishment of diplomatic relations with various nations on Earth we can now offer the Sol star system tour option to customers from our own planets as well as citizens of Earth nations.

If you've ever looked up at the sky and wondered what its like to see planets and stars close up that dream can now become a reality.

We also run a direct service from Earth to Kirisubo Primus, a useful service for diplomatic staff and their families as well as space tourists.

We are pleased to announce our first Earth terminal will be based in Neo-Ixian's international airport.

Large shuttlecraft will ferry passengers and their baggage to the starliner and back again.

The maiden trip of the Sol system tour will be in a weeks time. Each tour will last three days and nights.

The 'Eclipse' and 'Equinox' will be the starliners on this route, trips being available twice weekly.

To Whom It May Concern:

Greetings; I would like to inquire if it is at all possible to invest in this company, as I see substantial profits in its future.

It would be possible to buy shares in the company at the initial price of 5 space credits* each. Two thousand shares per shareholder is the limit for most people but 51% of the company stays in Neo-Kirisuban shareholders hands.

The company will be listed on the world stock exchange shortly with one million shares up for grabs.

Signed,

Ms Ayumi Fukunaga, CEO

* one space credit = 2 USD. Share prices can go up as well as down.

The Starliner 'Eclipse' was already in Earth orbit and being prepared for Earth guests.

The all female staff included the usual people you'd expect to see on a Earth cruise ship. The ship could host 200 guests at a time with ease and the ship looked like a giant disk with warp and impulse engines on it.

It took after the designs of old military ships in a way but the Neo Kirisubans found the simpler designs to be better. The disk was 300 metres across and and was quite roomy with it being 20 decks deep. The quarters and facilities were in the saucer section while engineering, crew quarters and the bridge was in the secondary hull section.

There were shows, bars, restaurants and dances which the Earth bound guests would be familiar with but extra holodecks had been installed on these ships since it was an unknown technology on Earth and was new to these visitors.

The facilities would compare to a four star resort but the ship was very family friendly. The cabins were large with all mod cons that a Neo Kirisuban would be used to including voice activated library computers and food replicators.

In Neo-Ixiania's international airport the 20 transport shuttles which looked like smaller twins of the saucer section were waiting in hangers for the first passengers and their luggage. There was a 25kg weight limit and security was in place given that terrorism can strike anywhere.

Today the maiden cruise began.

ooc: think a larger version of the Enterprise-D and you'll have an idea of the exterior. For the interior think of a cruise ship and the facilities they would have.

Let the adventure begin!
