Mergers and OW Spaceport Expansion

Like a sleek raptor from above, OWEX yesterday swooped down and devoured OffWorld Transport. The merger makes OWEX the largest overall corporation in Off World and the sole parcel shipping and delivery agency. OW Transport, one of Off World’s original businesses, operated out of a large terminal on Icon Highway using smaller shuttle craft to connect to it’s shipping network from orbit but had seen its business share slip as OWEX gained a firm foothold with direct routes and faster service.

Less than an hour after the deal was finalized, demolition bots came in and razed both the old terminal and the now-empty old New Empire building directly across the street.





Immediately upon clearing the land of the old buildings, construction crews began on the new Off World Spaceport public terminal that will initially house AirOne at the Northern concourse. The larger Southern concourse does not yet have an occupant but the state-of-art-facility should have no problem finding a tenant.



Spaceport authorities are considering a larger, all-encompassing makeover for the mid town facility but the sheer scale of any such endeavor would require a great deal of time and funding so for the moment, the plan is simply one of many under study.
