Last I heard Peter Henry was going to. Of coarse, as I pointed out to Mike P., by treaty between the SSL/GTT there was no way they could. (If the colony ever left the GTT, it automatically went back to the SSL. I know, I was Godfather during that deal...) Knowing MP though, he probably "gave" it to the FET...he didn't want to see the poor and undefended FET actually have to fight for something. (Although the SSL couldn't do anything about it anyway!)

Does two years now qualify as many? I know it was listed as GTT Colony Agnello's Triumph in 192, while formerly being known as FET Clove. I remember that it was taken over by the SSL and GTT. My original question that started this thread was what the the current name of the colony is, since I haven't gotten a scan of Utopia yet since I've been back in the game.

Anybody who wants to get his email address out can do that easily enough in a market report, or directly right here on line.... Pete ------------------------------ From: RFN2@aol.com Date: Tue, 15 Nov 1994 03:10:15 -0500 Subject: Re: BSE: Agnello's Triumph To All: A transmission from the starship FET Taipan, originating somewhere outside the Capellan Periphery. Transmission reads as follows..... "Regarding the situation of the colony "Agnello's Triumph"; or, as it is currently known as "FET Clove". Following the previous conflict with the SSL and previous to the current conflict, the colony was known as GTT Agnello's Triumph. It was the same colony as was previously known as FET Clove. However, in an attempt to push the SSL and FET into another war, the GTT PD {pre Chris Allen} returned the colony to the FET. The return was complete, and there were no strings attached. The action has never been contested by anyone other than the SSL; hence the current war at Utopia. However, a compromise has been reached with the SSL -which is why I have been posted to these spacial backwaters. <g> It was the belief of that GTT PD that he could play both sides in the ensuing conflict. However, his ploy was as transparent as a piece of plexisteel. Both the FET and SSL saw through it, and shortly thereafter all negociated deals by both affiliations with the GTT fell through. It was a surprise to no one that the GTT was then in a bit of a political upheval -here is where one Chris Allen (background unclear) comes into the picture. While I cannot speak for the SSL, it is my understanding that he did fulfill his spoken and written obligations to the FET. Many of us in the FET hold him in high regard, especially after he singlehandedly "Awakened the Sleeping Giant". I look forward to a time when we can work together without reservations. To clarify an earlier comment, yes, the FET and SSL PD's have been speaking of ending the current conflict (IF ONLY WE COULD GET STARCAPTAIN ROBERT NEAL RELEASED FROM IMP CUSTODY AS EASILY). An official end to the war is expected in our organization by the end of the year. The FET has not, does not, and will not; overlook the involovment of the FGZ and members of other affiliations in the orchestration of the current FET/SSL conflict. There time shall come. As for how a lonely low ranked starcaptain like me is so informed.....My uncle is Ace Morgan, the acting FET PD."

My assumption is that the previous PD transferred it before I came on board, which was a little over two years ago.

GTT purchased most everything that was available at Bome/Petroom (which is sitting on a sea of fossil fuel so has always had plenty of research points) and a few less at Viking/Barque. However, in the last hiatus we never manufactured any so I don't know if any of them work.
