Editing Luna Transit Authority (section)

=== Absorption of the Shackleton Cooperative (2091 CE) ===
Relations between the Authority and the Shackleton Ice Mining Cooperative had been broadly cooperative since the Accord's founding, as Shackleton propellant feedstock underpinned the entire cis-lunar economy. When the Cooperative's rotating board voted to dissolve the organisation in 2091 CE, [[Liaison Director Fen Qiao]] led the Authority's negotiating team through six months of talks to absorb Shackleton's transit rights, surface berths, and remaining worker-member contracts into the Authority framework. Qiao secured pension conversion terms that were widely cited as equitable, preserving worker-member propellant-mass credits at a favourable rate. The 2091 absorption also triggered the third expansion of the [[Luna Far-Side Radio Silence Reserve]], which required boundary renegotiations that Qiao likewise managed.
