Hello.
*On page 139 of
Field Manual: 3145, it's noted that the Fidelis' WarShip
Flatus was once the ComStar vessel
Bordeaux. However, according to
a prior Q&A entry on these boards,
Bordeaux was destroyed at the Luyten 68-28 system in the previous century.
Has the prior statement been retracted? If so, is there a new sccount for that WarShip's status prior to its re-naming for use with the Fidelis? And if not, is some other vessel intended to serve as the
Flatus instead?
*In the data provided on that same page for Fortress Republic's emergency resource extraction program, it is noted that asteroid mining is seeing a major resurgence.
Would this include the kind of operations which the Belters might support in (or beyond) the Sol system, or have the Belters declined to support the Republic's efforts as of 3145?
(And on a side note, it was mentioned in
ISP3 that the Belters were producing JumpShips for export to the early Republic back in 3095. Would the same be true as of 3145, and might their output be high enough to help the Fortress establish a healthier level of transport and courier traffic than it might not possess otherwise?)
*It is noted that Interstellar Expeditions is still in operation as of 3145, at least in terms of supporting its anti-spinward and rimward operations. Are its coreward ops still a going concern at this time?
And is the interdiction preventing IE from operating in the coreward Deep Periphery sector still in place? (As in, do the Council of Six Clans still patrol the nearer portion of the region, offering the same barrier to IE operations that they had been doing as of 3095? Or rather, is IE at the point where they are no longer willing to risk it either way?)
