IDCEX Convention Waypoint.

"Incoming vessels this is Kokand control. Please submit your clearance codes."

"This is ATJ ConglomoCorp vessel Phoenix-1, we are part of a convoy of 120 ships en route to IDCEX. We have exhibitors clearance. Transmitting now."

"Codes are valid. Please come to a complete stop at the coordinates supplied for customs check."

"Roger. Coordinates received, moving in." Massive jumpgates opened and the vessels began streaming out, first small passenger liners, then came seven massive vessels, each at least 10km in length, or size - or...

"Shit. Those are the biggest damn stations I've ever seen. Phoenix-1 please report on convoy contents..."

"Ah, right. You've just pre-empted the grand unveiling of our new products. I give you the Wok Around the Clock, Balti Towers, Bagel-dee, Donut-dum, Flamebait Steakhouse, Roadkill Diner and Get-It-India. The finest restaurants in known space."

"Those things are restaurants?"

"Of course. What else would they be? We are businessmen after all. Speaking of which, you want a curry? The Get-It-India is in shakedown at the moment."

The first shipment of goods from the ATJ CongloCorp is to be auctioned off in Roman territory in several days. It must first be examined by several teams of biologists and undergo several necessary scans before being approved for the auctioning process.

FROM: ATJ ConglomoCorp Legal
*URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL*

The contract for food sales to your nation specifically stipulated that all food purchased was for internal distribution only. Resale of this product on the open market will be met with severe consequences.

Failure to respond or acknowledge this message will be greeted with a similar response.

The Minmatar has been approached by the Fenari packs and would like to propose to the ITA council that the Fenari packs are granted membership. Does anyone second?

We assure you that the food is not being sold on the open market. It is being auctioned off in sections to Roman franchises, who will then resell it to customers at their own personal marketplaces

The ATJ will follow proceedings closely, but for the time being this solution is acceptable. The second convoy is ready to ship. Third convoy also ready.

"Copy that, stand by FTL engines and prepare to remove those things from this system at once. IDCEX is not normally open to massive restaurants and we have already contracted catering services. ConglomoCorp clearance does not include any prior arrangements for these craft. Contact the Kokand Trade Department to obtain such arrangements. The rest of your convoy is cleared for finnal jump to Neovestral."

From: Kokand Trade Department
Subject: IDCEX Open to foreign companies

Kokand's tri annual Interstellar Defence and Construction Exhibition for the year 2800 is to be held in the coming months, and for the first time in its history displays and demonstrations by foreign companies will be allowed. Traditionally this event on the desert world of Neovestral has only been open to those company's which where based in or had facilities in Kokand. But no longer.

The multi day event is a showcase for the latest in defence and heavy construction equipment, being a venue for sales, demonstrations and publicity. Among this year's demonstrations will be FNSS Defense Systems new upgraded BXP series of armored vehicles, the RM-66 assault rifle from Bartech military division, and the Alliance Aerospace's Sarb 5 missile corvette. A new line of very heavy excavators is expected from Coredar Mining Corporation. But these are only a tiny fraction of what Kokand alone will be placing on display.

However the live fire and demonstration ranges are not a free for all. Explosions of over 1000 tons must be prearranged to allow for the construction of boreholes for subsurface bursts, harmful emissions must be controlled from engines and other devices and kept within acceptable limits. There are no limits on the yield of weapons employed on the space ranges. Excavators and construction equipment is pretty much free to show what they want within reason, but are asked to destroy anything they build and fill in any holes created before departing. FNSS Defense Systems, a cosponsor of the event will fabricate firing ranges and targets to the users specifications ahead of time

Furthermore while capital sized armed spacecraft from star navy's may be brought, no star nation may send more then eight and no more then two of cruiser rate or higher. The Kokand military will be providing security and retains the right to expel or restrict any craft or Exhibition.

Additional details or provisions for special arrangements are available on request. Media and observers will have accommodations provided with regulars shuttles to the main worlds of Kokand. The Exhibition will be held in eight weeks and will last for seven days. Early declarations of what should be expected from outside of would be appreciated by the events organizers.

The KSE would like to showcase the new PR-32 plasma rifle, The Ultra-heavy fusion cannon (Capship based), the XR-49 armored assault vehicle and the PDL-22 point defense laser system

Republic of Tho'a-hal Public News Service
<Special Broadcast: Disappearance of Deep Space 51>
At around 1400 Tho'a-hal Standard time today, shortly after it's emergency alert beacons was unexpectedly brought online, all signals from the Republic of Tho'a-hal Deep Space Service Depot DS-51, also known as Deep Space 51, ceased. Less than five minutes later, when three Republic of Tho'a-hal Navy arrived at the area, no trace whatsoever of the DS-51 or what happened was found.

For now, the Republic of Tho'a-hal Navy is treating this as suspicious circumstances, and investigation teams are already on the scene. Until further notices, the middle outer South-West sector has been declared off-limits by the RTN, with all ships forbidden to enter or leave the immediate area without approval.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Just inside C'tan space.

"EBRA ready sir." said the technician.
"Excellent, begin primary charging procedure." ordered Commander Ecke. The technician threw everal switches.
"Warp cores are now operating at one hundred percent. Charge in four seconds." reported the technicain turning a dial. "Projector ready for power." The commander stared at the asteroid on the screen. "Project" he said. The technician threw another system switch. The array shot a translucent coruscating beam of blue energy at the asteroid.

"Shield interaction negligable." said the technician, as the asteroid began to fragment and crush itself to dust.

"Excellent" said the commander. "It works perfectly." he breathed.

Attention: All Star nations and the companies within
From: Kokand Trade Department
Subject: IDCEX Open to foreign companies

While none of the Free Floater Republics will be sending envoys to this event, it is likely that many free traders and some Militia warships will show up, selling Floater small arms and some of our more vanilla capital-scale weaponry (ECM missiles, fusion clustermissiles, X-Ray laser lances, PD coilguns.)

The biggest sellers will probably be our zero-G combat powered armor, rated for three standardyears as the finest of it's type, and our personal arms, such as the Fletcher and the Hellthrower, which are known for being durable and highly potent in both zeroG and normal G combat.

Gaius was going over the ledgers when his father entered.

They did not tell quite as grim a tale as he thought. Most of the hulks had been cleared away with rapid efficiency. The tithe on the Church had, as he predicted, incited some grumblings amongst the Patriarchs, but pressured by the nominally secular patriacians they had acquiesed without defiance.

The ATJ-supplied food had been sold for several times the cost of purchasing it, ensuring a tidy profit for the imperial treasury, and the Mintimar corporations that had taken root on Imperator and Augustia were generating a large and taxable profit. He glanced at the shipping records with interest. de'Lorin Shipping Corp kept popping up. Running convoys to and from ITA-affliated nations, hauling scrap, supplying Trajan, Gladius, and Imperator with food from Augustia, a job normally done by the Imperial Cargo and Supply Fleet...

"It is not a bad thing, Gaius. It will free up our vessels to do more constructive jobs. I have already ordered several of our supply ships to be deconstructed and used in the reorganization of the fleet." Romulus suddenly stood behind his son, glancing over his shoulder.

Gaius shook his head.

"No, father, I do not question your wisdom. Only...no. It is not important...has the Admiral deigned to make his annoucement yet?"

"He will shortly. Let us watch."

The 5000 300kg Grey, "Elk" like creatures would prove to be harder to control, seeing as they perfered open plains, however the capture and tranquilining of that many was not a problem....

The Minmatar will be hosting a function on Gemini to celebrate the continued prosperity of the ITA. There will be music, drinking and enough food for 15 armies. The event is open to all ITA members, and all who wish to have dealings with the ITA.

Gemini can be found within the Khaydrin system:
