Torrente Enterprises unveils new Exploration Division
21 Jul 2016Torrente
José Luis Torrente, Earl of Miller Gateway, Kamocan, has introduced yesterday in a massive display his new Faulcon-Delacey Anaconda that will inaugurate the exploration Division of his industries, Torrente Enterprises SL.
The Pedro Duque landed in Kamocan, cheered by the locals.
Called the Pedro Duque, after Terran XX Century astronaut of the same name, the ship hails from the Agarla shipyards, concretely in Wilson Port. The cost of the ship's outfitting has been calculated around 60 million credits by local experts, on top of the more than 146 a "stock" ship of that class costs. It will be staffed, Torrente has stated, with a "top notch crew of experts".
Mr. Torrente regularly employs a couple of mechanics and a ship mate on his common travels. Either servicing Imperial factions or trading, but he will require extra astronomers and probably a small detail of repair crew to keep the ship running for extended periods of time.
No date for the first expedition
Torrente has not decided yet on when will his ship take the endeavor of travelling "But we will likely visit Jacques Station", the nobleman said. For the time being, the Pedro Duque will remain docked on the Kamocan planetary port, for the citizen to visit and "bask in the achievements of Imperial industry", Torrente declared.
The diligent Tycoon began spacefaring a year and a half ago and has ever since dedicated to trade and fortune-making, escalating in the Imperial ranks as he did. He recently took on Zemina Torval's planetary colony management branch, although his piloting activities have kept him mostly spaceborn. Rumors in the Imperial Auxiliary Navy ranks would say that Miller Gateway's political ruler would soon receive a promotion to Marquis, thus enhancing the status of the port to sub-system citadel.
