OK, have been reading the archives. Very interested in the whole India thing,
looking forward to seeing the force compositions for SG II and DSII, as well
as FT designs.

Also, regarding the unfortunate freighter accident.

The NRE issued the following English translation of a statement.

"The Government of the Empire of the Romans expresses the deepest sympathies
to the families of the deceased in this horrible accident. Additionally, all
Alarishi starships in Roman space are required to update their safety
inspections and liability insurance, effective immediately."

Astute scholars of the Greek language note that the original statement would
be more literally translated, "You idiot barbarians! Insert some meaningless
sympathy here. And we're going to give all you savages hell on your next
customs inspections, so you better have your paperwork straight."

Additionally, informed sources in the Empire note that this incident could not
have come at a better time for the Imperial Customs Service, currently locked
in a budgetary dispute with the Imperial Navy.

On a personal note, I should be back late March.
