A: You can find additional details by clicking on the icon. All icons are clickable, but not all icons have additional info.

In a crowded corner of your planet, your Director of the Strategic Homeworld Defense Department moves through the hustle and bustle of meetings through the Capital.
It was between these meetings that suddenly he had a black hood thrown over his head, and dragged into an awaiting vehicle.
Hours later, they are startled as its removed from their head. Sitting atop of a large crate, a strange woman looks on.
Smugglers!
"Don't be alarmed, Director." She says. "We can't make any money if you are dead. In fact, we are here with a....proposition."
We don't do business with people like you!
"Well thats a shame, I think its something you may very well want to consider. Besides, we are offering it to everyone in the galaxy, as our price is high.
But as you can see from the number of crates we have, few exist."
Seeing his curiosity is peaked, she continues.
"You won't want to get caught with these, as you'll immediately be branded as rebels, however we recently...acquired these and they are the
only three of their kind to exist in the galaxy! The GOAT's developed these for use on their Homeworld, as well as their two colonies. That was until we borrowed them, anyway.
These are upgraded models of your existing Homeworld Safety Net Arrays, currently allowing you to see approximately three sectors in all directions from what I can tell.
One of these will expand that view field to five sectors, one of these will expand that view field to six sectors, and this one (she taps the one she's sitting on) will expand that to seven sectors in all directions. But its a one of a kind. These are even better then satellites, because you would have to lose your homeworld for someone to steal these! Satellites can be lost by someone traveling through undefended...
If you get one of these, there won't be anyway a Starship can ever approach your Homeworld unseen with this bad boy.
Currently, of course, if someone had a warp drive of 4 or 5 they could be at your Homeworld door step completely undetected.
No warnings whatsoever. Did you know that the ship Billy flies in has 5 warp? You might not have met him yet, but...you wouldn't even see him coming...this bad boy solves that for you nicely.
But of course...someone like you, a by-the-book Director wouldn't be interested in something like this...would you?"
Of course he was, something like this doesn't fall into your lap everyday. Of course the dangers of pissing off the newly discovered GOATs would have to be weighed, but...how much?
She smiles, she knows she's got him hooked..."We know the GTE recently offered you a deal for some land with a healthy ore deposit. I think we can make a similar deal, don't you?
Say maybe...land with 20 ore for one of these five sector sensors, land holding 35 ore for the six sector sensor and land worth 50 ore for this one of a kind seven sector sensor? Your early warning system would be stronger then the GOATs themselves!"
We simply can't afford that! Maybe we can negotiate? Our ore deposits are smaller than ever, I'm sure you know...we are just trying to survive!
"There won't be any negotiation here, try as you will. We went through a lot of trouble to get these, and we plan to profit off it heavily. In fact, if more parties are interested then there are Homeworld Safety Net Array Units, we may even need to auction it off to the highest bidder!"
We have plenty of credits, perhaps we can make a deal?
"No no no, credits simply will not do. Ore will soon be worth its weight in gold, and frankly, that is exactly what we are after. Large deposits of ore...so what will it be?"
I'll have to speak with the Council first, of course...how can I reach you?
"You can contact the GTE...they will know how to reach us, but hurry...theres no telling how long these will last before someone snaps them up!"
I'll let you know...
The Director is then released, and runs off to inform you of the latest development...

Ice ... I warned you that no good would come of that stripper pole you installed in the living room!!!
Seriously ... is it a fracture or a break?
