 Project Osirion
 
-	 
+	During the war, many great houses conducted experiments in search for
+	advanced technologies to aid in defeating the enemy. One of these
+	experiments was called 'Project Osirion', an experiment involving
+	a new type of hyperjumpdrive, which could work independent of hyperspace
+	jumps holes and cross enormous distances in the blink of an eye.
+
+	The requirments on ship design for this experimental drive unit were
+	outrageous to say the least. But facing imminent defeat, no effort
+	was spared to gain even the slightest advantage. In less than 6 months
+	a new ship was constructed and equiped with the experimental drive unit.
+
+	This ship was called the Osirion.
