The folks who are busy building up Pluto's mass in order to get it back to "planet" status should take a look at 2003 EL61 - it seems tailor-made for the job.
(Speaking of Pluto, the New Horizons probe is almost at Jupiter...)
Once the SOS Convention is finished, there's going to be a new addition to Stellvia. No complaints when it happens, please - it's 100% hardtech, so the Rules of the Wave don't apply... Noah will offer to transport one of these to The Island, if they decide to buy one as well. (For free - it'll be part of his contribution to the war effort.)

Quote:"Friendly"? And here I thought the Pirate vs. Ninja rivalry was to the death...
Space Pirates (Leijiites, Buccaneers): Free men of Space, the Pirates hold themselves to the moral code expressed by their symbolic founder, the great Captain Harlock. Known best for protecting the weak in the asteroid belt, flamboyant dress codes and melodramatic speeches.
Village Hidden in Asteroids (Ninjas): Founded by an international coalition of Naruto fans, the Hidden Asteroid is considered the finest martial-arts center in all of Fenspace. Also has the highest concentration of fenkinder anywhere save the Potterite districts. Has an odd friendly rivalry thing going on with the Space Pirates.
