not. It was one of those things Forward Power had to sell for capital
to
rebuild after the Unfortunate Incident in 2094. After the AE/PAU war in
the
2130's, Forward Power had enough cash to acquire Dragonfly but the OU
was
sticky about selling the manufacturing rights back, and Forward wasn't
inclined to push on the issue as long as they got the revenue. On the
other
hand, they never sold the complete rights to heliostats, just a license.
