Fixed. I've also added an image, and a few more links and details (while removing the term 'skynet' which I think we should probably purge from the site as too derivative).

At the same time maintenance costs for them were significant; not just in infrastructure but in teams of scientists and technicians to correct any problems in the hardware and software.

(by itself, Orionis means "of the constellation Orion". It shouldn't be used as an abbreviation of Chi-1 Orionis, although perhaps Chi-1 could be so used.)

Fixed. Thanks! (some typos from 2003 there).

What does the bold acronym stand for?

210's - The Vesta-based corporation, Outsystems Launches, begins to make plans for interstellar exploration and colonisation ships, using pulsed fusion drive, RAIR ships, and eventually amat catalysed fusion, eventually becoming one of the Solar System's largest antimatter customers.

Many conversion-drive ships use a ramscoop to collect their fuel and propellant stocks.

RAIR = Ram Augmented Interstellar Rocket - LINK

and the relevant EG page for the time period in question.

Hope this helps,

What does ESY mean? Is it a typo?

If ESY means a.t., 146 a.t. sounds too early for sophants to have colonized a trans pluto object.

From its first shakedown cruise the Randolph had an active and illustrious career. While picking up crewmembers in Earth orbit the Randolph was directed to monitor the Indonesian invasion of New Zealand and shot down several ballistic missiles from the submarine Saliendra which came too close to American satellites. A month later the USS Randolph and a Brazilian frigate rescued the survivors from the supply transport "Barycenter" and got a warm reception from the public on Juno. But the Randolph's claim to fame was the Xibalba Incident in ESY 146, where the ship faced down a fleet attempting to intervene in that trans-Plutonian planetoid's attempt to break away from Eurasian Union control. The leader of the Xibalba Colony independence movement, Ivan Pieteras, heaped praise on Captain Moreno and crew of the USS Randolph for their daring action (although later it would be discovered that the United States Outer System Command on Chiron had ordered the Randolph to stand firm because of an interest in the Ares-Olympia Corporation's massive holdings on Xibalba and throughout the Kuiper belt, one of a series of scandals in the nearly-autonomous military bases of the outer solar system).
