Description

“And in science news today, the headline everyone is talking about is the Big Jump- the longest contiguous hyperspace jump ever performed by any Terran vessel. The Terran Alliance Exploration Corps mission- utilizing technology developed by key members of the Corporate Alliance- was an astounding success as the PR-36 Lionfish experimental probe reached the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy this morning. Launched in April of this year, this unmanned AI-run long-range exploration probe utilizes numerous T-rad venting ailerons and a bleeding-edge technology jump drive to reach speeds estimated at five hundred light years per hour, twice as fast as the fastest existing engine. The Lionfish traveled 47,362 light years from the polar edge of the Milky Way’s core to the SagDEG in the deepest layer of hyperspace ever successfully navigated. Stable wormholes were previously considered impossible to maintain at those depths of the universe’s substrata, but the Corporate Alliance consortium managed to pull it off. The trip only took an astounding ninety-two hours, and while the probe’s armoured outer hull was heavily degraded by tachyon radiation, it emerged with all systems intact. The probe is currently performing numerous experiments and exploratory jumps to verify long range telemetry that indicates the SagDEG might have a habitable zone.
In related news, stocks for the CA consortium companies involved in the Lionfish venture have skyrocketed. Neeland-Kanamitsu, Conudyne, Fujita-Croft and the Andali defense contractor Cumberland Industries have all seen increases in stock value of between 20% and 56%, with Cumberland Industries seeing the largest spike on the Nikkei this morning. Erik Krüger, Vice President of Public Relations at Cumberland Industries, stated that the consortium will soon be putting next-generation jump drives on the market utilizing technologies developed in the Lionfish project.”
