Geshrinari Shipyards, Nepleslia's largest manufacturer of both civilian and military spacecraft, said today they were considering plans to move to the Yamatai Star Empire or elsewhere if the weapons registry bill was passed.

Yamatai has already started making arrangements for the corporations to move, promising major corporation status if desired, and monetary support to pay for the move.
