Interstitial Deal Result
Can You Hear Me Now? -- Comstar Deal
[X] Grant Comstar Permission to build the HPG
With public pressure to accept mounting on Portland and no real reason to reject Comstar's offer in sight, the Helghan Republic eventually decides to grant the techno-religious order approval to construct their latest HPG --albeit somewhat reluctantly. Precentor James Harkness, upon hearing the news, sends his thanks to the Republic's government and promises that the people of Portland will soon enjoy a new level of importance in the region. Departing the planet as soon as the regular trade convoys permit so that he may inform his superiors, the man leaves behind an estimated timetable for the construction of the HPG site as well as one of his staff to field any questions the people of Portland may have.
According to his timetable, Comstar expects to begin work on the HPG site in mid-3028 with completion estimated for 3030 at the earliest.
Effect
- Construction on Portland HPG will begin in 3028
I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC -- Federated Suns deal
[X] Accept deal in exchange for IS Explosive tech
With the Federated Suns eager to get its hands on Helghan electronics and the Helghan Republic equally eager to improve its military might, negotiations between the two powers proceed quickly and smoothly despite their disparate sizes and societies. Less than a fortnight after negotiations begin in earnest, both parties eventually reach an agreement which sees technical knowledge regarding the composition and creation of Inner Sphere-grade explosives exchanged for several thousand tons worth of electronic goods from all areas of life. While some in Helghan's private industry decry the decision and claim it will lead to Helghan designs being copied and thus harm export opportunities, they are the minority.
Effect
- Improved relations with Federated Suns
- Gained Inner Sphere Explosives tech
Ha, Ha Autocannon Goes Brrrrr -- Capellan Confederation Deal
[X] Accept deal in exchange for Primitive Neurohelmet tech
With the Capellan Confederation asking for military and not civil goods in their respective trade deal, many in the Helghan Republic urged caution when it came to dealing with the authoritarian regime. However, mindful of the star-nation's prodigious strength compared to the Republic and the mercurial nature of its ruler --not to mention the value offered in exchange--, the Republic's leadership eventually decided to agree to the offered deal. In exchange for several thousand tons of specialist munitions for both autocannons and missile launchers, the Capellan Confederation gave the Republic the knowledge necessary to construct simple but effective neurohelmets.
Effect
- Improved relations with Capellan Confederation?
- Gained Primitive Neurohelmet tech
Decisions, decisions... -- Royal Mech Cache
[X] Disassemble the machines for research purposes: It'll be a significant effort, but disassembling and studying the machines promises significant benefits to the sciences. (Lose 100% of the machines, gain an unknown benefit to science)
Having acquired a large number of advanced mechs and vehicles whose parts were beyond the ability of Helghan industry to replicate let alone maintain, the Republic did the only sensible thing it could and elected to disassemble the machines for study by its scientific community. Though some in the business community and military were put out by the idea, hoping to sell the machines and use them in the military, respectively, most grudgingly accepted the decision to focus on reverse-engineering the advanced machines --the possibility that the Republic could crack technology considered LosTech by the Inner Sphere tempting both groups. Already, engineers and scientists from across Helghan are hard at work taking apart and studying every single component in the Star League-era machines; gigabytes of information being produced with every passing day and promising to advance Helghan science tenfold.
Effect
- Unlock The Corinth Project (Primitive Nuclear Sciences) tech
- National Idea Added: Unlocking Star League Engineering (gives 25% bonus to researching items in the engineering category so long as they're from the Star League era)
- National Idea Added: Unlocking Star League Physics (gives 25% bonus to researching items in the physics category so long as they're from the Star League era)

Military Requisition and Design
You have 3 out of 3 Requisition Points to spend on upgrading Helghan's ground forces. These upgrades are given to all active armies at once, though the more armies you have the longer it'll take to roll out changes.
Requisition
[] Irradiated Petrusite Grenades: Dangerous but lethally effective, these grenades have... unusual effects on meat and metal.
[] VC5 Arc Rifles: A short-ranged but powerful weapon, the VC5 can do catastrophic damage to metal and electronics thanks to its highly charged particle beam.
[] T7 Arc Cannon: Based off a recovered design first made by Stahl Arms, T7 Arc Cannons fire a short-ranged, highly-charged bolt of irradiated petrusite which can vaporise full-grown adults through steel plating.
[] H11 Accelerator Rifle: Redeveloped by Hephaestus Inc. after acquiring copies of the VC39, the H11 Accelerator Rifle energizes and fires a burst of Irradiated Petrusite at targets up to 300 meters away to devastating effect.
