Funny when system developers who aren't involved in a faction leave a gaping hole in the faction, ready to be exploited.
Quote: who agreed to insure and finance it in exchange for 5% of the H-Fuel profits and also being permitted to construct a base in Okinawa.
The IC get 5% of profits from H-Fuel sales, in return for their 700 billion credit investment.
They may earn thousands of billions from that 5% but they are not owed that 700 billion in any way.
IC gave the money in return for future profits. They did not give it in return for repayment at a later date with interest added, as loans are.
This isn't a loan, it is an investment.
The IC cannot claim anything in Okinawa as they are only owed the profits from H-Fuel sales, they are owed nothing else.
