Only the landing module and warp nacelles were designed and built from scratch, while the fusion reactor was adapted from maritime naval use. Following Cochrane's success, a mission to those star systems known to contain planets become an immediate priority, even among the war-ravaged population who viewed the mission as a symbol of Earth's recovery and future among the other races of the galaxy. UESPA was not the space agency of a unified world government, which would not fully exist for another hundred years, but rather the major space powers of the New United Nations.

Tried so many ways of doing the magentic storm, still wasn't happy with it... Alot of aspects of the story are based on the novel "The Valiant" with my own bits of extrapolation.
