Thanks for such a complete and knowledgeable answer, -K! :-)

Now that we know the "how?", let's study the "why?"...

Why would Dunkie give exploitation rights to an Island to Federated-Boeing?

answers:

- Reinforce the fledgling Pacific Rim Co-prosperity group, soon to be joined
by Federated-Boeing? (note: i don't have the BitB book nearby, so i'm not
sure about the name, but I mean the group of second-rate corps that are
forming a group around Wuxing to better compete with the other Big 10
corps);

- To spite Mitsuhama?

- To help someone in Federated-Boeing, or Federated-Boeing (the simplest
answer)?

what do you think?
