AP-FILE #391: PROJECT "PORTA NAURU"

Brief

---

After a long and expensive struggle, Planet Nauru is under the sole controll of The Core. Ever since then it has become a vital, rapidly expanding colony. For its further development it is of utmost importance to ease logistic conditions and establish permanent orbital docking facilities.

Progress

---

Despite the technological advancement of AP Manufacturing, it would be an arduous task to construct a docking ring entirely on our own - it would require complete redirection of our focus to this one project, leaving ship construction, fleet maintenance and research projects aside, and even then the path would be a curvy one. As The Core heavily depends on the numbers and top condition of its war machine, such an endeavour is naturally out of question. Because of this construction and deployment of this vital installation has been comissioned to Ageira Innovations. If necessary additional outside contractors will be considered.

The progress so far can be rendered as follows:

1. Securing the necessary funds - complete
As the prime shareholder of AP Manufacturing, Interspace Commerce puts much faith in this enterprise thus ensuring construction costs are covered.

2. Providing the specs - complete
All telemetrical required for further planing have been presented to and aproved by the prime contractor, Ageira Innovations. Note: due to political inconveniences the project was put on hold as not to endanger the supply chain. As the Rheinland-Liberty conflict came to a resolution, progress was resumed.

3. Supplying the materials needed - complete
For construction to commence vital parts and materials need to be delivered to the site in accordance with requirements outlined.
Components manufactured by Ageira, listed thereinafter, have been successfully delivered to Yaren base from where construction shall commence.


Certain generic parts of the structure produced on site require additional ressources to be provided on part of AP Manufacturing as listed below.


4. Ensuring safe transfer of the engineering crews and vessels - complete
Technical expertise of seasoned engineers and stellar architects is crucial. Ageira Innovations has therefore commissioned support from Deep Space Engineering for construction of the installation in orbit. The assigned crews and maintnance vessels must now safely reach Nauru.

5. Beginning construction - complete
Parts of the main frame can be build easily by our own construction crews. It is vital that we prepare a skeletal structure before the actual deployment of the ring mechanics, to prevent stoppage and ensure smooth transition for the DSE specialists as soon as their convoy arrives.

6. Finalizing construction -complete
Applying final touches and conducting tests to make sure the amenities are fully operational.

Standing orders

---

1. All APM callsings are hereby tasked with the delivery of the following materials to Yaren Base in Omicron Delta:


Since this operation is of utmost importance to our cause, AP Manufacturing offers a bonus of 2000 S.C. per cargo unit (apart from the regular compensation from the depot attendant), with the hope that it will supr to an enthusiastic completion of this task.

Freighter pilots and transport captains are to submit their reports underneath using the standard reporting template. All footage is to be timestamped.



2. Squadron leadres are required to intensify patrols in Sigma-15, especially on the route between jumpholes to Frankfurt and Omicron Rho. Any encountered Ageira or DSE convoys heading to Core space are to be escorted to Yaren Base in Omicron Delta - safe conduct of this operation is paramount.

Documented escort missions are to be reported underneath. AP Manufacturing issues a bonus (both the primary and secondary Core forces are eligible for) in the amount 5.000.000 S.C. per kill for any undesireables shot down during escort assignments for Ageira or DSE transports. Extensive footage is required, audiologs including (//indies are additionally required to provide proof of proper ID).
