Brewer Corporation is enhancing the travel corridor to Colonia, but details about the project’s next phase remain uncertain.
Business-related newsfeed The Tau Ceti Journal published this feature:
“There’s no doubt that Brewer Corporation always thinks big. It has enjoyed huge commercial success as a manufacturer of starports and outposts, and its Drake-class fleet carrier has been enormously popular.”
“The Colonia Bridge is the megacorp’s most expensive undertaking yet, investing hundreds of billions of credits on the transportation infrastructure between the core systems and Colonia. More than one analyst predicted that the project might financially destabilise them.”
“The first two phases proceeded on schedule. Before the end of this month, there will be a chain of 56 stationary megaships along systems between Alcor and Colonia.”
“But there are rumours of a change of plans for phase three, which may be early next year. It is believed that Brewer Corporation is revising its plans based on the unexpectedly high levels of participation from the galactic community.”
“In support of this, one company insider did reveal that more engineered frame shift drives are being manufactured, to be offered as incentives to contributing pilots in the third phase.”
There have been suggestions and discussions in threads here and there of a Caster being built, a superstructure from the old Galcop days that can propel ships and objects across the galaxy in relatively short amounts of time. The bridge project should be humanity's brute force method of trans-galactic travel. Each station should be equipped with a "fsd conduit repeater" type device with casters at both ends in alcor and colonia. The caster would send the ships through a witchspace conduit of galactic proportions with each station contributing power and acting as another link in the conduit. I have read that such Faraway Jump devices used to exist when Galcop was a dominant entity among the superpowers.
