Why are the Upwell workers all Bald ?
This Confuses Me.

The leaked Chemal Tech executive summary pamphlet for The Intaki Bank board mentions several physiological modifications.
Let me mention a few
- Radiation and toxins tolerance
- Stress resistance
- Immune system modifications
- Standardized physical size
- Metabolic flexibility with reduction of excesive energy intake requirements
All the above, would impact delicate cellular skin structures responsible for hair growth in my opinion. Add to this all the complexity and cost of hair-grooming services spared that would be required for workforce masses. The bald and hairless is just cheaper

We are in Resbroko[1] still. Burning through warclone after warclone - it is hard work but very satisfying. Vanguards in Ardar[2] are being contained by the Empires.
[Edit]2024-06-25T16:25:00Z
Vanguards have moved to Amo (Metropolis)[3]. Our prototype warclone blanks tests continue there now.
[Edit]2024-06-26T00:00:00Z
It appears I was wrong when stating “Auviken is safe”. Two days before “normal” Vanguard activities started in Gal-Cal warzone, this message was received via Auviken VI Skyhook, apparently mentioning some sort of specops planned in Auviken:
*/transmission acquired*Origin: Embedded message via Equinox transfer relay shoh01/p6/Auviken/NAG/Citadel
Timestamp: 126.06.18.21.15.33.0217
//decrypt follows
Orientation phase complete with all components on standby.
Launch group in position with no indication of detection on insertion.
Asset CISCs matching finalized defense grid whitelist schedule confirmed.
Strike group may proceed to primary action phase of Solstice at next window.
/ends
The log date above strangely coincides with the incident occurrence time mentioned in the recent Scope news piece discussed here briefly earlier on 18 June.
And Vanguards are operating (covertly) on the planet’s surface in recovering of what appears to be Upwell research into possible three cloning methods for their clone workforce programme. Leaked reports recovered by mercenaries can be looked up here aka “Proposals A/B/C”.

Meanwhile, we continue our work in Amo[3:1] hidden among Vanguard troops.
[Edit]2024-06-26T18:11:00Z
We moved our operations again. Now it’s in Hror (Metropolis)[4] a jump away from Amo[3:2]. “Weather conditions” are good.
[Edit]2024-06-29T10:27:00Z
Our activities have been relocated once again to take advantage of Vanguards cover. It’s 2 jumps from Hror[4:1] in Auner (Metropolis)[5] now.
[Edit]2024-06-30T15:53:00Z
Change of location to Ebolfer (Metropoils)[6], 5 jumps away from Auner[5:1].
[Edit]2024-06-30T19:43:00Z
While running our physical tests of the prototype warclone blanks, we’ve come by a group of Vanguards performing a strange ritual.
But it could also be just a group photo-op by the beach.
[Edit]2024-07-01T14:24:00Z
Tests are over, destination home now. Time to start thinking on that SCC application.

This project has most definitely peaked the interest of MR-TI I believe I will have to inform the board before I go ahead and reach out in a more formal way.

One of our associates at Fulcrum Station in Zarzakh System informed us of more planned operations involving mass scale deployment of Vanguard warclone mercenaries to planets in systems affected by Pirate Insurgencies.
This time they are about to bring down planetary artillery with them, capable of shooting at ships in orbits. Leaked short combat drill clip attached below
Apparently they are getting bolder…
And scarier…
The Zarzakh Legions are also supposed to conduct their operations in more organized way than before. They will begin to deploy teams of 9 warclones to planetary surfaces to conduct regular military operations aimed at planetary defenses. Starting tomorrow at noon.
This looks bad but paradoxically might help convince SCC to our application having merit.
And since we are past testing phase we won’t be deploying any test teams. Instead we plan to discretely dispatch observers equipped with our warclone blanks and provide the coverage to some degree. Bear with us, we are not The Scope ha ha.
We will continue working on our SCC application of course but not sooner than after things settle down. Hopefully around 9 December YC126, according to our source in Zarzakh.
So prepare for the rough ride. Stay tuned as more updates will follow soon.
[Edit] 2024-11-28T13:20:00Z
Vanguards are wrecking havoc in Isie System (Lonetrek)[1]. Vanguards in Raihbaka System (Black Rise)[2] are being contained by the Empires. Both Systems are affected by Guristas Insurgency.
[Edit] 2024-11-29T22:40:00Z
Hostile Vanguards have moved to Innia System (Black Rise)[3]. Those in Raihbaka System (Black Rise)[2:1] are still being contained by the Empires. Angels have won theirs without any help from the Vanguard warclones.
[Edit] 2024-11-30T10:11:00Z
Vanguards have moved with their violence to Onnamon System (Black Rise)[4]. Those in Raihbaka System (Black Rise)[2:2] are still being contained by the Empires. Angels have won theirs without any help from the Vanguard warclones. Meanwhile our source at Zz warns of Cartel is in preparation to another strike at 2024-12-01T04:27:00Z
[Edit] 2024-11-30T19:24:00Z
It seems there is some comms issue in regards to reporting ground troops progress. Might be caused by recently increased Drifters activity around the Trustbreaker Arrays deployed by the Deathless. Add to this the new Mercenary Dens that might be clogging FTL networks with those encrypted infomorphs being stolen from Upwell and transmitted to The Warden structure in Zarzakh.
The Communication Relay Committee will have their hands busy investigating it. They better put en effort in that.
[Edit] 2024-12-01T18:14:00Z
Warclones have swept briefly through Kehjari System (Black Rise)[5] and then moved to Eha System (Black Rise)[6]. Cartel’s Insurgency seems to struggle with picking up the pace …thankfully.
[Edit] 2024-12-01T21:10:00Z
Vanguards are pounding ground in Pavanakka System (Black Rise)[7] now. Watch your spice.
[Edit] 2024-12-02T17:54:00Z
Deathless warclones moved to Uuhulanen System (Black Rise)[8]. But they are having tough time there. Meanwhile information blockade has been fixed as the Trustbreaker Arrays are no longer being deployed by the Deathless and we have now reports coming back from Raihbaka System[2:3] again.
[Edit] 2024-12-04T09:24:00Z
Vanguard warclones are still present in Raihbaka[2:4] and Uuhulanen[8:1] Systems. It’s strange to see them fighting each other on both sides.
[Edit] 2024-12-04T12:24:00Z
Vanguard warclones present in Raihbaka[2:5] System are again having problems with their comms as progress reports have stopped coming in. Those in Uuhulanen[8:2] System have slowed down their pace apparently.
[Edit] 2024-12-05T13:07:00Z
Vanguards in Raihbaka[2:6] System are continuing to have communication problems. Our observers confirm they are still there but no progress reports are available for the time being. Those in Uuhulanen[8:3] System, moved to Elonaya System (Lonetrek)[9] now.
Our associate from Zarzakh has informed us of the Deathless Circle’s decision to extend their ground offensive and Vanguard Warclones deployments until 12th December - formerly rumored to end on 9th Dec.
[Edit] 2024-12-05T19:07:00Z
It appears our observers got confused and lost their vigilance. It’s unbelievable they missed whole deployment of Empire ground forces moving to Ohbochi System (Lonetrek)[10] in pursue of vile warclones! But the Empires ground troops are still behind in Elonaya[9:1] System.
[Edit] 2024-12-05T21:27:00Z
We’ve added reports history to the footnotes for each system mentioned where hostile Vanguards and forces suppressing them were operating. We conducted a quick investigation to establish the cause of the incorrect and incomplete reports. Conclusion is it was a human error. We’ve put new verification procedures in place to prevent similar mishaps in the future. Once again we apologise sincerely for the confusion that might has been caused.
As of now same two systems mentioned in previous update are stil being affected by Vanguards.
[Edit] 2024-12-06T13:51:00Z
Plot twist. Warclones have spilled into Cartel Insurgency systems. Now they are present in both warzone interfering with BIG 4 simultaneously. They are now present in Gulmorogod System[11] (Heimatar), Dammalin System[12] (Heimatar). The Guristas have ceased they activities at the moment.
[Edit] 2024-12-07T22:18:00Z
Deathless ground troops relocated to Vard System[13] (Heimatar). Some are still present in Gulmorogod System[11:1].
Meanwhile, Comando Guri forces are preparing to strike again 2024-12-08T03:26:00Z in Old Man Star System (Essence).
[Edit] 2024-12-08T15:41:00Z
Vanguards are now being actively suppressed in Egmar System[14] (Metropolis), others continue their progress in Vard System[13:1].
Guristas are yet to wait for warclones ground support.
[Edit] 2024-12-09T19:32:00Z
Arnher System[15] (Metropolis) is now being pestered by Vanguard warclones. Egmar System[14:1], next gate, is coping with them so far.
[Edit] 2024-12-10T21:10:00Z
Anti Vanguard troops are now deployed by Empires to Lulm System[16] (Heimatar). Arnher[15:1] is still beeing occupied by Vanguard gangs.
[Edit] 2024-12-12T10:45:00Z
Vanguards are rumored to cease their activity in about 1 hour. They still do what they can in Lulm [16:1] and Arnher[15:2] Systems.
There is supposed to be some kind of transmission related to the present Vanguard deployment progress in about 30 minutes. Our team of observers is trying to secure an access to it. Stay tuned.
[Edit] 2024-12-12T12:56:00Z
So the transmission just assured the current Vanguard deployment is over …and that it will repeat in the near future. Many times.
So again, we are in dire need of a mean to be able to directly confront Vanguards ourselves. And as you could see, the Empires, with Mordu’s Legion warclone hands couldn’t handle the plague very efficiently. They won’t be physically able to help us all when mass Vanguard raids begin to happen at planetary installations through the cluster.
Hence our R&D effort and commitment to bring the case before SCC and be able to defend ourselves. We are now going back to the SCC application draft.

Subject: Application for issuance of licenses for several technologies related to mass production of Warclone BlanksPreface
On behalf of my Corporation Los Mineros Locos [LOMLO] I hereby submit to the SCC an application for the issuance of the license for production of Warclone Blanks
Purpose and justification for the industry being subject of the application
In the face of growing danger from rogue warclone mercenaries as reported regularly by cluster’s news outlets, like Zarzakh Vanguards infiltrating High Security space around Auviken VI planet in June this year, the obvious need has arisen for protecting Capsuleer businesses against the incoming threat. In our opinion it will grow only larger.
Add to the above recent rumors of new SCARAB weapon being in development by The Deathless Circle. In an essence it is a boarding party delivered by a shield and hull breaching pods carrying “shriker clones”. Those clones might possibly be a modified version of Vanguard warclones and are meant to wreck havoc aboard the targeted vessel by ripping its internals apart over the period of time.
To help with assessing the actual threat level, below are attached leaked stats of the SCARAB weapon system for reference, mounted on the new Deathless ships code named “Tholos” - destroyer class and “Cenotaph” - battlecruiser class:
It has been determined the best approach would be an ability to respond with the similar force projection by utilizing warclone blanks produced and owned by Capsuleers, stored and ready at vulnerable locations like ships or structures and operated by hired infomorphs. Or AI.
The Industry is based on Genolution Corporation design for warclone blanks. The samples for the project were obtained during Crimson Harvest season from defeating Blood Raider pirates who stole the product from Genolution factories in Fabai constellation. It is a pity the Genolution’s warclone blanks are only supplied directly to Empires’ enforcement agencies and only available in small quantities through second hand market. Not enough to fully cover the projected demand.
Moreover the warclone blanks produced by Genolution are of Warlords Era generation not fully capable of handling the threat ahead in our humble opinion. Thus the drive for innovation, improvement and mass market supply. We are yet planning to contact SoCT, the current owner of the corporation and inquire for their interest in our upgrade.
We would like to underscore the superiority of biological military platform other the purely mechanical one in terms of much lower production costs and reliability of the prior. Purely mechanical, machine processed platforms are highly under-performing and unreliable in regards of high probability of malfunctions at any design level or communication breakdown severing the link to the remote operator and loss of the machine. Organic is simply better.
Moreover we do not seek an exclusive right on licensing the technology being the subject of the application. Firstly because it is a derivative secondly because we want it shared amongst the entrepreneuring Capsuleers and proliferate.
If esteemed members SCC council deem our technology, described in this application, worthy of being allowed onto the New Eden Markets we are willing to freely share the Blueprints and Schematics with all. In a way we already did by posting draft and all the updates of it that led to the submittal of the application herein.
We would like then to deposit the technology BPO and Schematics at Yulai III - Moon 1 - Secure Commerce Commission Depository Station for every Capsuleer to claim their free copy, from their hangar upon docking.
Technical details of the industry
In the course of the last year our corporation has been conducting research and development project for procuring viable methods of mass producing warclone blanks. As a result of our R&D project, Industry BPO and PI Schematic prototypes has been compiled. Results presented below.
Industry BPO
PI Schematics
Both methods produce complete platform of identical quality and properties for storing warclone blank bodies in cryo-stasis encased in compact form storage unit. The rugged enclosure features all the transport utilities prescribed by commercial standards like forklift groves, stacking guides, crane hooks, manifest storage memory, transponders for automated container terminals. The units also feature vitals monitoring with holodisplays for periodic control of content quality. The enclosure also fits into standard rescue pods and can be deployed in it onto planet surface from orbit by any capable vessel. The warclone body when stored in the enclosing can survive high energy impacts facilitated by built in inertia dampeners.
Furthermore each unit features FTL networking capabilities complete with access control and firewall security for maximizing owner confidence in the platform reliability and assuring only authorized and contracted infomorphs would be able to access designated blanks for executing assigned tasks.
Upon transfer into warclone blank is complete and the blank activates the infomorph must enter the unique enclosure security code to open it. The code is matched to enclosure SN and is electronically transmitted to the buyer separately from the units themselves and by a secure medium. The unit owner then provides the infomorph with the code upon it agrees to the contract terms. The codes can be distributed automatically to select infomorphs with high enough standing with the units owner.
After the unit accepts the code, rapid manufacturing of the warclone mercenary equipment begins. The units contain all the common materials required by military equipment and are laced with high concentration of nanites which drive the transformation process of the enclosure. The infomorph is ready for combat within seconds. Fully clad in its combat dropsuit, weapons, ammo and all necessary equipment selected beforehand and the necessary BPOs transmitted along the infomorph data. Additional equipment can be deployed in separate pods as rapid manufacture packs or ready assembled in case of special purpose or prototype equipment. Infomorphs may enter the enclosure code whenever they want, even while the pod is still airborne.
Once assembled in the factory, complete with the warclone blank inside, enclosures do not open from the outside. It is a monolithic design which recycles itself into necessary warclone mercenary personal equipment upon entering the enclosure activation code by the infomorph transferred into the warclone blank. Failing to provide the activation code within few minutes from consciousness transfer, prompts the warclone blank to disintegrate and the enclosure must be returned for recycling. In worst case scenario of highly improbable rogue infomorphs mass-hack the entire stock at a location may be rendered useless. There is no possibility of unauthorized enclosure activation and hostile overtake from the inside. Unless the activation codes has been illegally acquired if not safely stored, separately from the enclosures.
There is an additional safety setting that allows the owner to manually pre-activate enclosures when the infomorph transfer is expected. The code is still required. Otherwise enclosures stay dormant and are not possible to connect with from the infomorph Hubs. Even if the activation code has already been acquired by an infomorph. The default safety setting is exactly this.
Warclone blank bodies are a special purpose gender less clones designed with military use in mind. They are durable and yet purposefully short lived. They are meant as disposable work tools and not vanity clones. Every warclone body is complete with all the vital organs, highly enhanced compared to baseliners, like nervous and cardiovascular systems or sharp senses. The body lacks the digestive tract, kidneys, reproductive organs and lungs. Their place is taken by genetically engineered organ build from hybrid tissue based on the liver and kidney cells. The organ, named gastrospongia, contains a surplus of nutrients in a quantity enough for sustaining a warclone body for limited time. Depending on the energy expenditure of the activities undertaken it varies between a day and a week.
The period may be extended by the informorph ingesting a pure nutrient formula, mostly water, ATP, complete set of amino acids and electrolytes, via oral cavity connected by esophagus with the gastrospongia. The formula is a ready to ingest, at the cellular level, solution that is quickly absorbed by the gastrospongia. The pure ATP is aa energy carrier for muscle and neural bio processes and amino acids are mainly required for peptides synthesis by quick-healing and regeneration abilities of the warclone body performing in the overdrive.
Since the warclone body is fed with pure ATP delivered directly via bloodstream to every cell. The blood contains no hemoglobin and thus is basically colorless and has no blood type. Hence no oxygen or any gas exchange is necessary and obviously no lungs are present. Their place is taken up by a double heart setup allowing for higher volume blood flow and redundancy in the emergency situation. Each heart is also 50% larger than regular baseliner hearts.
Robust self healing, augmented by the presence of nanites coupled to NIS control systems assures high rate of battlefield survivability during the first moments of deployment into the middle of heavy fights.
Because of the high metabolism rate and higher than normal performance stats of the warclone body it deteriorates over time, naturally limiting the number of formula ingestion. The efficiency of the warclone body decays logarithmically, typically over a month.
The gastrospongia has also ability of recycling waste and pathogens filtered from the bloodstream back into stored nutrients, water and electrolytes.
NIS implants used in our warclone blanks are compatible with all known infomorph formats - including Fulcrum format. Flexible architecture allows for quick adjustment to new formats. The format accepted can be soft locked to any desired one by the owner to further limit the access. We plan to schedule a meeting with Paragon representatives later this year and inquire about their willingness to test our warclone blanks under the control of their IRIS AI.
Practical applications of the industry, select use case scenarios
The main application of the Industry is defense of Planetary Infrastructure from rogue warclone interference. There is none at the moment. The impression may be it is not needed but that impression is false based on the news reports mentioned earlier.
How would it work. Simple. PI owners store our warclone blanks at Command Centers, Factories or wherever they want it. Since the enclosure is self contained it can be put anywhere. Even under open sky. But we do not recommend it due being easy target for attackers. When put down it is waiting for an infomorph transfer. When the time comes the warclone comes to life from stasis and emerges in full combat gear out from the recycled enclosure.
In case there are no human infomorphs available at the moment a synthetic AI infomorph could be transferred into warclone blanks to control them. We are planning to contact Paragon and talk them into testing IRIS AI for the task. Another option would be to acquire human infomorphs performance data, with their agreement of course and for a fee to train custom AI model.
Our warclone blanks could be used anywhere where there is possible threat from infantry - be it utter destruction or just sabotage and infiltration - every interior imaginable - Ships, Stations, Custom Offices, Skyhooks, SovHubs etc. The applications are numerous and the enclosure format gives unlimited flexibility for storage and tactical placement. It is de facto launch and forget platform.
For extra planetary use we propose public pools of warclone blanks at strategic locations in every system through out the cluster managed directly by SCC or designated licensed operators.
The owners would only need to store warclone blanks digital certificates in digital vaults. Then present their certificate to nearest pool authority to have the enclosures with warclone blanks physically delivered into the regular ship or structure cargohold or special type of warclone blanks bay for ship or structure protection. No need for any logistics by the owners as the warclone blanks enclosures would be ready wherever they need them.
The industry BPO would need to be strictly regulated in SCC controlled space and every warclone blank enclosure produced would be immediately transferred to the public pool and its digital bearer certificate given in exchange to the producer for direct sale or personal use. Part of the SCC taxes collected from the production and sale of warclone blanks certificates could be directly used for covering the warclone blanks public pools maintenance costs that would be very low given the enclosure format.
In special cases Capsuleers could transfer the warclone blank certificates from the vault into the ship cargohold and transport them themselves if they wish so. In the same fashion the PLEX Vault and PLEX certificates works. They can be transferred into cargo from the PLEX Vault even when undocked. Same could be orchestrated with warclone blank certificates.
To refer to warclone blank certificates on the market, we propose the following acronym identifier:
BLADE - Bearer License for Autonomous Defense EquipmentTo quickly populate warclone blanks public pools infrastructure at the start, should the SCC decided to issue the warclone technology license, the existing private pools of warclone blanks in CONCORD controlled space could be bought back by SCC in exchange for BLADE certificates and ISK if necessary at 1 warclone blank to 1 BLADE exchange rate plus (optional) buy back ISK amount.
Hereby, in addition to the entire application, we would like to put a bold proposition under SCC consideration of extending Capsuleer license clone contracts onto capped, free of charge, draws from, postulated earlier, public warclone blanks pools. The cap would facilitate a safety buffer. The caps would run daily → monthly (30x daily cap or less) → yearly (12x monthly cap or less) and would accumulate if not used over the year. Certain amount of warclone blanks, or BLADE, certificates would be transferred daily to every Capsuleer’s BLADE Vault until monthly or yearly cap is reached. That reserve would be used in emergency situations and it would be locked out from Market transactions. However there should not be a cap on the maximum quantity of BLADE Certificates stored in the Vault and every Capsuleer would be free to purchase as many BLADE Certificates from the Market as they wish on top of those included with their clone contracts cap. Additional tiered BLADE Contracts quotas could be secured with standard insurance tiers.
Proposed scheme would ensure every ship that undocks or structure build or anchored would be prepared for eventual SCARAB or similar weapon system attack by securing on-site entry points and operation vehicles for CONCORD, Empire, mercenary or AI warclone infomorphs via warclone blanks immediate activation.
The warclone infomorphs successfully completed contract payments, for interventions included with capped warclone blanks quotas, would be settled with Capsuleer license account of course. In the same manner standard recloning is paid for. All interventions beyond the capped quota would need to be settled with Capsuleer’s checking account in the same manner as all daily Market transactions are.
Direct and indirect income and tax projection from the sale of the industry
We would like to start with the estimated material costs breakdown of the Industry per unit of the final product.
IP Schematic input:
- 80x Biomass - avg. cost 975 ISK/unit, 78000 ISK total Biomass cost
- 10x Nanites - avg. cost 9995 ISK/unit, 99950 ISK total Nanites cost
- 10x Transmitters - avg. cost 13200 ISK/unit, 132000 ISK total Transmitters cost
IP Schematic output:
- 3x Warclone Blanks - avg. total cost 309950 ISK, approx. unit cost 103317 ISK
Industry BPO input:
- 240x Biomass - avg. cost 975 ISK/unit, 234000 ISK total Biomass cost
- 36x Nanites - avg. cost 9995 ISK/unit, 359820 ISK total Nanites cost
- 10x Transmitters - avg. cost 13200 ISK/unit, 132000 ISK total Transmitters cost
Industry BPO output:
- 10x Warclone Blanks - avg. total cost 725820 ISK, approx. unit cost 72582 ISK
Scale and efficiency difference should be obvious when comparing planet side and station side production capabilities and quality control. Since Custom Code prohibits transfer of Warclone Blanks through the Customs Offices, Warclone Blanks for protection of PI installations must be produced in situ. Warclone Blanks for securing of space bound infrastructure and space vessels would be produced by standard industry modules and possibly traded on Capsuleer regional markets.
High volatility of the product ensure constant demand under assumptions the rogue warclone threat only increases. Appearance of new force projection vector by Capsuleers may create new venues of application in Capsuleer vs Capsuleer affairs described earlier surpassing even the need to protect from the original threat. Thus increasing the demand and turnover even more.
This in turn will drive up the demand for basic components used for production: Base Metals, Bacteria, Planktic Colonies, Suspended Plasma and Non-CS Crystals.
In case of Planetary Infrastructure protection the warclone blanks would be produced on site. Not every planet would have all the necessary components so planetary import taxes would apply. The missing components would need to exported from other planets - to be transferred by the same Capsuleer or bought from Regional Market. Same for Industry BPOs. According to last month Economic Report we are faced with the following figures:.
Cost type ISK Value Production type affected Planetary Industry [Market] 18.6 B PI Schematics Planetary Construction 802.2 B PI Schematics Planetary Export tax 173.6 B PI Schematics / BPO Planetary Import tax 45.8 B PI Schematics PI Total 1040.2 B This statistics are a baseline, so to speak, for projecting the costs further. The main cost driver will be the conflict. Conflict with rogue warclones attacking Capsuleers and conflicts between Capsuleers using warclones in general as an attack vector.
Below is a monthly breakdown* of the above values over the course of YC123/08 through YC126/11.
(*compiled from publicly available data)
[TBD: estimate demand, sales income and taxes generated from production of warclone blanks]
Conclusion
Allowing official mass production of warclone blanks emphasize Capsuleers freedom of expression and pragmatism. We are in constant need to adjust to new situations and devise new tools for achieving new goals. We need to be flexible, always ten steps ahead.
And SCC would be able to monitor transactions and use of the warclone blanks on behalf of all CONCORD agencies interested in such data.

I hope you have the opportunity to review my mail, no rush on the response these things can take serious consideration.
I am delighted to see that you are still hard at work.

Sometimes, with this insistency about customs codes and the like, I often wonder if you’ve been introduced to the concept of surface to orbit cargo ferry shuttles and dropships, and their quite legal usage to ferry personnel and some materials on and off colonial infrastructures.
As It happens, as well, it is rather bold to presume an attempted monopoly patent for your designs, when even the supposedly Genolution style blanks are not a wholly proprietary system as it were and even were not so at the height of the warlords era, what with hundreds of independent clone fabs producing combat grade blanks and selling them in bulk for packaging by Genolution, each with their own genericized and specific processes.
I’d also argue, that even if the abover were not the case, your proposed patent and use case is too broad for actual applicability. as a stable singular patent. Especially when a multitude of competing Standards exist for combat grade blanks across the cluster, both from the various Empire aligned entities, and Independents, not just Genolution, that largely remain minimally regulated.
You seem to further have the understanding that the Secure Commerce Commission controls and regulates every minutia and specific of strategic material reserves and BPO usage(when such things are more closely handled by the Empires and their Security Aparatuses than the SCC itself)…, and that they actively and openly share their transaction details in full with the rest of the CONCORD agencies, even though they are notoriously secretive about customer transactional data through SCC tracked markets even when questioned by the rest of CONCORD, as, being a relatively neutral trade regulatory entity, if they did actually share that data, they’d lose that status as a relatively neutral trade regulatory entity.
I continue to commend the efforts and work that goes into this project of yours, however some of the presumptions give me pause on it’s long term prognosis
- Revision Addendum: It’s notable that, the SCC while keeping track of various patents and specific print modifications, they’re often largely tracking patents filed and struck with the various patent offices of each of the four Empires themselves, and not usually filing and classifying the patents themself.
Additional, tradability on SCC tracked markets does not equate to legality. Matigu Sushi is often bought in significant bulk but is, on the whole not tradable in quantity on SCC markets, and similarly the Khanid Works upgraded Capsule Specification used by some pilots and heavily advertised by KW is also on the whole not tradable on SCC markets yet the licensures are bought quite legally

Thank you for your concern and willingness to provide helpful advice. I appreciate it very much. Please, let me address some of them below.
Yes we use the cargo launch facilities at our planetary installations - from time to time and all of the facilities are equipped with three launchpads, on average. It gives us three launch windows to launch cargo three times more often of course but it’s stiil not enough volume wise compared to POCO (or Skyhook in your case I suppose) transfers.
I suppose you operate out of CONCORD controlled space and maybe you are less constrained in regards of planetary imports bypassing Skyhooks but in our case it’s different. We operate in CONCORD space and planetary imports bypassing POCOs are illegal. We could lose our planetary operations permits if we tried to circumvent those rules. We know how …but it’s still on a very small scale. Hence we need to find a legal way out of this to go bulk. I hope you understand.
No, we are not striving for monopoly on warclone blanks production. We like InterStellar Kredits but we are not greedy.
In the following SCC application draft update, we explicitly relinquished our claim to any IP royalties after technology is accepted for industry use:
Moreover we do not seek an exclusive right on licensing the technology being the subject of the application. Firstly because it is a derivative secondly because we want it shared amongst the entrepreneuring Capsuleers and proliferate.
and here to propose SCC provides free BPO copy to any capsuleer who docks Yulai III - Moon 1 - Secure Commerce Commission Depository Station:
We would like then to deposit the technology BPO and Schematics at Yulai III - Moon 1 - Secure Commerce Commission Depository Station for every Capsuleer to claim their free copy, from their hangar upon docking.
Exactly, the point of the SCC application for our standard is to “blaze the trail”, so to speak, for all other standards so they could come out of the obscurity status and into the broad Market. There are already BPO variants for many existing technologies. I can’t see why it shouldn’t be the same for warclone blanks. Like Tetrimonic Warclone Blanks emerging recently. Or Shriker Warclone Blanks found in those infamous SCARAB Breacher Pods.
The purpose is the same while the principles of operation, field durability, specific task assignment affinity and production stats may differ. We will gladly include all other standards in our SCC application, and cover the time and material costs, should the interested parties provided us with the required details for paperwork. If others are not interested at the moment, it would still be easier for them to license their own warclone blanks variants later in the future should the SCC agreed to our application at hand.
Also, we are aware our prototypes could compare poorly against other builds in a given type of task while excel in some other. We do not claim ultimate superiority. We simply strive to claim our Capsuleer right to defend against an emerging rogue warclone threat in the only possible way - by using same force projection vector - warclones. In broad daylight. We claim it for all of us. One can only reject it at their own peril. There is no way of stopping Deathless Vanguard warclones anymore. We can only prepare for what is coming. In a matter of months.
To wrap thing up on the lighter note - we plan to run the signature gathering campaign at a later date, when all the SCC application details are ready for submission, to file “Capsuleers Endorsements” appendix to the SCC application form. We hope to see your signature there.

I’m going to touch on this in particular, ‘CONCORD Controlled Space’ is a very narrow band and constellation in the Genesis region, anywhere else CONCORD operates is in the jurisdictional control of the Empires themselves.
Therein, legality of what is and is not appropriate to bypass POCOs for imports is down to those jurisdictions, and in many cases, subjurisdictions such as system administrations or even planetary or planetary regional authorities.
I have extensive operational experience both within and without the letter of various legal frameworks for import and export and deployment in Empire space. Much of both well documented, in particular in regard to the Systems of Eugales, Archavoinet, Lirsautton, Skarkon before its invasion and control by the Triglavian, Osmallanais and more. Just in those particular cases if we want to go with your definition of CONCORD Space, I and others affiliated with myself have yet to lose our operational licensures for operations for bypassing POCOs. Mainly because methods and manners are jurisdictionally dictated and agreements with local planetary and system administrations go a long way in creating and specifying legality.
In Eugales in particular, being the enforcer of a System of Interest claim by a neighbouring system memberstate, and it’s interesting status as an Unorganized/Unincorporated System gave a great deal of operational latitude.
And on this, I’ll say that your presumption that these standards are in obscurity, because they’re not on Capsuleer accessible SCC Markets or parts of SCC markets, and the continuing seeming claim that it makes their use and deployments illegal, very shortsighted but very… Capsuleer all the same. This narrow lensing I think is likely the disconnect point in your rationale. There are myriad methods and options of legal and illicit engagement with various industries and non-capsuleer entities and operations beyond the SCC and CONCORD.
I’d comment more on the remainder, however I have superseding business to attend to.
