Week: 9

Address to the CDSD

“...and furthermore, I must reiterate my own government’s stand on so-called ‘planetbusters’. These weapons never have been a part of Sansterre’s defence policy, we have no intention of building any, and deplore any attempt by any government to build and use such weapons as a means of diplomacy. And as far as the allegations from M. Paul Williams (Director of CDSD) that out own Python planetoid transporters could be used in such a role we refute entirely, and invite any observer to witness their peaceful use, as a transport vessel carrying aid to those in need in the Colchis system...”

[Nb. It was a Python class transport that delivered the consignment of 102 ‘Sidewinder’ class frigates to New Home.]
