Daniel,

I have a task that I can only entrust to you, because of your skills and position. Although it is not exactly in your line of work, I think this task will be of great interest to you and useful to Vega and the future of shipbuilding on Livadia.

As you may know, we've been working on extracting iridium ore for several years now. Previously we transported it in the same form to various organizations, because even in that form it is quite valuable, now we have a module in Athens for smelting to obtain pure iridium. Naturally, it is successfully exported as before, but... Considering our position as a supplier of one of the strongest metals according to the periodic table and Vega with hull panel damage of about 40%, we have a reasonable task.

We need to create a new iridium-based alloy that will be qualitatively different from the existing ones. Vega will be our pilot project to test the new panels, and later we can apply it to a wider class of ships. Don't worry about the problems of casting metals or composite materials, the material will be not be manufactured by our industries - its time to delegate such matters to a group with wide construction capabilities, so we won't overload our departments with additional project. The flight of your construction ideas is practically unlimited.

Think about where you need to start. You have time, but keep in mind that rebuilding Vega will have a very positive effect on the security perimeter of Kadesh Orbital City and undoubtedly their siege wasn’t last. We need to develop a material that will be able to resist the monstrous amount of energy released by the Nomads ships. You can see for yourself the nature of the damage on Vega, at the slightest damage to the armor, everything inside burns to a crisp.
