This is the semi-official press release about fighters scandal:
-------------
All right, I finally stopped giggilg uncontrolably about my Engineless Fighters blinder.
In fact, It should provide some nice twist to the story. Basically, Pandorans' social structure resembles ours.
And what did we get here ? The private company Oleg-and-Brothers(all rights reserved) won the multitrillion contract to supply Pandoran Navy with fighters.
To maximise the stockholders options and CEO retirement benefits, Oleg&Brothers cut the overhead cost by shipping space fighters without some overexpansive parts. Like engines for example
. Naturally, all goverment inspectors have been secured. All admirals too.
It was only by the unfortunate accident of the unprovoked and cowardly (US goverment TM) attack by armed forces of rogue Jraenar regime, this small deficiency has been exposed.
The independent inquiry panel absolved the CEO of Oleg&Brothers of any criminal charges.
To ensure the best interst of public and the adequte protection of its citizens, the Goverment of Pandoran Alliance secured the contract with Oleg&Sisters consortium to supply modern fighters to Pandoran Navy.
As it is, at stardate 2407,7 the cargo space of all colonies has been inspected and cleared of combat deficient vehicles. Our Armed Forces start to receive the modernized equipment. The Prime Minister Of Pandoran Alliance is happy to announce that at no point the safety of Pandoran citizens have been compromised.
