History
In January, INPA directives listed nuclear fusion as a very high priority (upgraded from high priority) for international security due to the potential for antimatter based weaponry applications, as such, it started the Advanced Energy Challenge Program, awarding $10 billion in grants and contracts for private corporations within the PAGP to develop energy-efficient nuclear fusion reactors.

The mining capabilities of the Amari Lunar Base were initiated in March 2035 and its first payload delivered to Earth via a dropped re-entry vehicle through the atmosphere in July 2035. The first round of payload dropping netted the company $5.1 billion in titanium and rare earth metals totaling over 2,000 tons. This marked the first recorded usage of Lunar Mining equipment in human history.
