[font=Times New Roman]In a press release this morning, Chris Aspen, former owner and CEO of the privately owned Detroit Munitions company, announced that Detroit Munitions had been sold to a new owner, Evelyn Anabelle Foster. Foster, a Liberty citizen, bought the company for just under eight hundred million credits. Foster, who personally invested three hundred million credits, was financially backed by the well-known Independent Neuralnet Division, who paid the remainder of the costs. We don't yet know the terms of the contract with I.N.D.
LEX Magazine once described Foster as the poster woman of Liberty's "New Money". A woman who's fortune didn't come from investment banking, or an inheritance, but forged by guns in the nation's new atmosphere of violence and death.
The daughter of a Junker-turned-Zoner, she has had to forge her own path to wealth as a private military contractee. Obviously she's set apart from the common mercenaries and freelancers we're familiar with who've performed jobs for our military and police. The fact that she survived long enough to amass so much money means she must be good, and more importantly, well-connected, as her deal with the I.N.D. for five hundred million credits attests to."
The Colony News Network has not yet been able to get in contact with Ms. Foster for a statement. The Colony News Network contacted Detroit Munitions' Chief Operations Officer, James Sarkin, regarding what effects this change of ownership could have on the company. Sarkin stated that no concrete statement could be given, but indicated that Detroit Munitions will be run much as it has for the last few decades. When questioned about the company's partnership with Ageira Technologies, Sarkin stated "that there will be no changes in the partnership with Ageira."
