The text from the Theta Borealis Sector book used as the basis of this article reads:

"Established in 1012, this small shipping line operates in the Phoenix Quadrant. Based on the planet Conacus, the corporate headquarters are on Hufkin. Polygraham Shipping is solely owned by Wilford Zachret. If Polygraham does not start breaking even or showing a profit, Zachret has publicly announced he will be forced to sell the operation."

The Jump 6 Fleet[edit]

The shipping routes shown on the map for Polygraham Shipping show that most of them are Jump 1 or Jump 2, there are two exceptions. Stylap - Farbel - Apratib requires a Jump 4 and then a Jump 5. Stylap - Kersian reqires Jump 6. Therefore Polygraham shipping must have some Jump 6 capable vessels, to maintain a one-each-way service the minimum number of ships required would be 4. The origin of these ships is unknown, but presumably the purchase also included a stock of spare parts and training for personnel more acustomed to reparing ships built up to TL-12 (or lower) standards. This must have been a considerable expense. Graham2001 (talk) 07:24, 24 October 2021 (EDT)
