. : ooc : . What this means for you: I am interested in either constructing or helping to construct orbital stargates within designated systems as part of a military-industrial network, overseen by Perseus-Southwestern. It would be the "strategic" counterpart to, say, the ITH, and it would work essentially like the European rail system; connections would be scheduled between gates at specified times, allowing for industrial as well as military and civilian transport. The corporation's primary interest in establishing this network is of course facilitating international connections, but obviously you can optimize the schedules as you please within your own national networks; Perseus-Southwestern would simply assist in building the gates, or even just selling you the blueprints and letting you go hog wild.

At the prompting of King Kemelzar, the Gate Infrastructure Production Division of Varanar Dockyards and the Special Transit Division of Subaru Worldsystems have been split from their parent corporations and merged to form Perseus-Southwest Stargate Corporation, which will be responsible for the construction, maintenance, and administration of Arizona Nova's growing orbital stargate network. It is hoped that the maneuver will help render operations of the orbital stargate network more efficient and centralized by cutting through the red tape and bureaucracy which formerly bogged down interactions between VDY and SWS.

The move is speculated to be part of an overall strategic shift, in recent years, to maximizing military-industrial mobility in Arizona Nova. Gates with three-kilometer clearance have already been constructed at the following locations: Ondataru I, VII, and VIII, Ikkaudl I.A., Noah, two at Varanar, Joyous Gard, Marratzanis, Miralis, Nengilis, two at Barinzis, and three at Bastion in the Rupil System. It has been the expressed hope of the king that, eventually, Perseus-Southwestern might grow to match its peers in the Big Three - Subaru Worldsystems, Varanar Dockyards, and Äußer-Kern Arms - in size and importance.

While the system currently remains isolated from other networks around the galaxy, it is believed that one of the first priorities the new Board of Directors has been tasked with will be to begin making contracts with older national and multinational networks for connections.

Some critics have alleged that the move is simply a thinly-veiled attempt to ape the much more ancient stargate system pioneered by Northrop-Grumman millenia ago, of which Arizona Nova was a part, but the King as well as executives of both the "parent" corporations have asserted this is not the case; the network is strictly regional in scope. Though the possibility of international connections and possibly expansion has of course been broached, it would be limited to the near-South, with Bastion marking the absolute farthest western and northern terminus of the system.
