The Port of Mobile remained one of America’s major space launch facilities throughout the decades after Contact that led up to The War. Their factories built numerous Alabama and American starships, as well as Class One, Two, and Three Colonization Ships for many colony projects. They launched, and landed, bulk cargo for trade and other projects in record-breaking tonnages decade after decade. It was a license to print money, and they did not miss a single trick they could imagine. They had very imaginative lawyers as it turned out, and an Alabama government that was happy to give them a great deal of leeway when it came to interpreting laws. The money flowed, the taxes came in, and the people of Alabama prospered like never before. It was a Golden Age that many thought would never end.
