Chief Production Manager Statement File

Well we've finally done it, a working Upholder AI class vessel. This took believe it or not even more work to finish than the Sentinel 200 series. Why? Do you know how hard it is to get bomber grade weapons to work with a Sentinel cooling systems? Its a complete and utter pain that has had an overall detrimental effect on the entire ship line. This is linked with the weapon systems quite heavily, but we have been able to introduce the new Mini Razor system into the Sentinel 300 line rather than go all out into the Supernova Antimatter Cannon. While this sacrifices power, it is actually essential we do not load one.

When we tested the Sentinel X300 which was a testbed model of the 300 series, we fired a shot with the SNAC, the results were disastrous. The cooling systems were critically overloaded and the fusion core shielding actually cracked. It takes a direct blast from a class IX cone charge to crack one of those. This greatly delayed the deployment and testing of the ship line.

We then began testing less powerful but still effective bomber weapons, most notably the Nova Torpedoes and the Mini Razor. These weapon systems worked effectively through the upgraded cooling systems. The Sentinel while is an AI, is still programmed to learn, so as it flies and fights, it learns just like any human. The Sentinel 301 that was recently launched is learning the complexities and the finesse required to utilize bomber grade weaponry at a steady pace. But thankfully, once it learns what it needs to, it can be spliced into more Sentinel 300 class ships.

As always, we will be keeping the Sentinel Omega project securely locked from the Sentinels wireless network systems, if they found the [forge], who knows how th--- [file ends unexpectedly].

This is a public service announcement from the LASP Offices within the LPI to the populace of Liberty from Professor Farnsworth, Directer of LASP

Good news everyone! We have finally gotten the Sentinel 300 series operational! What is this tin can I hear you cry? I will tell you my dear fellows!

The Sentinel 300 is a light bomber that is under the LPI juristiction, yes, the LPI are getting some light bombers to get those confounded scoundrels in their gunboats and so called pirates suffering from the 'lawl syndrome'. I still say their idiots in their pajamas.

The ship that is being used for the Sentinel 300 series is the Upholder! It is a fascinating ship, elegant yet striking. None of the qualities the Sentinels have I assure you, they are here for your protection and to keep our trade lanes safe and pirate free whenever possible.

I have also been hearing rumours of taxes being raised to help fund this project, I assure you this is pure baloney, we have enough money to keep our own ship line funded and run on our own. We do not require a further lump sum from the public.

If you ever have any questions, I will be glad to take them when I finish setting up a new communication channel in the Sirius Communication systems.

Please remember that the Sentinel series ships do not take orders from civilians, traders or bounty hunters. Only from the LPI and the Navy, along with other branches of them.

This is the Professor signing off, and don't forget our company's motto
"We can hot wire anything into anything!!"
