GIGACORP BEGINS MANUFACTURING NEW TECH
A recent sift of a GigaCorp data vault revealed a new product just coming off the GigaCorp assembly lines. The following is an intercepted memorandum to GigaCorp manufacturing facilities throughout the GC network:
To: All Department Heads and Subsidiaries
From: CEO Mercedes Kelleher
Subject: Final approval/Project “Katana”
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Katana Advanced Interceptor project is greenlighted, effective immediately. Please coordinate with all subsidiaries, so that we can leverage off of the existing technical components developed with RacerCo. and StarPower.
Security on the Katana project is no longer a priority; at this stage, I expect the first run of production models to be completed in one week, with distribution to core emplacements within three weeks.
R&D department heads are to have simulator trainers completed in 5 days, Earth time. As soon as sim models are complete, all pilots are to begin supplemental training against Iron Coalition sims. Training missions to come from Colonel Markham's office.
Publicity departments are to develop propaganda material featuring the Katana for dissemination through open sources. Psych-ops division has determined that this is an excellent opportunity to chip away at IC morale. Any publicity material should show the Katana in victorious in actions against IC-style warcraft.
As the Aladdin system is heating up, the Katana MUST be ready and deployed in this core site as quickly as possible. These deadlines must be met, or our He3 harvesting operation in that contested region will likely be lost.
Failure is not an option.

>>Harbinger_99: node 912_91293/8812.2: “Failure is not an option.” Heh. That Kelleher is one warm lady, huh?
>>Aristotle_Blue: node 7723_55.22.9: Anybody catch the reference to the “Psych-ops” division? Good God: they have interrogators and psychological warfare divisions. Spooky.
>>StarMerc_8: node 818_99924.5.2.2221: She's got a point, though. The Aladdin situation could become very ugly. Any edge would be useful.
>>LadyDancer: node 1881_2992.29: That must be one hell of an He3 deposit. If I had an IC strike force moving against a fixed emplacement, I'd consider gettin' out of Dodge ASAP.
>>StarMerc_8: node: 818_99924.5.2.2221: That better be a hell of a ship. It looks nice, but - for their sake - I hope it'll be tough enough to screen against a battlegroup like the one near Aladdin.
>>Harbinger_99: node 912_91293/8812.2: It sure looks cool.
>>StarMerc_8: node: 818_99924.5.2.2221: Of course it does. I flew some GigaCorp fighters during the campaign against Crimson Shield. It looked like “death from above.” Flew like a cow.
>>SemperFi_9191: node: [error; node concealed]: Hoo-rah! Let ?em put up whatever they want. We'll swat ?em down like bugs. SEMPER FI!!!
>>LadyDancer: node 181_2992.29: Sheesh. Jarheads.
