'''Joshua Hoshiko''', was the [[Star League]]'s [[Minister of Communications (Star League)|Minister of Communications]] during the invention of the [[hyperpulse generator]].
 
 
 
==History==
 
Hoshiko was appointed Minister of Communications on 4th April [[2614]] by [[First Lord]] [[Nicholas Cameron]], charged with the express mission of developing a faster means of communications to aid in the rule and expansion of the already massive Star League. Setting up the [[Technological Communications and Specifications Project]] in [[2615]] to investigate possible means of FTL communications, in February of that year Hoshiko enlisted [[Cassie DeBurke]], a brilliant young professor from the [[University of Terra]] located near the [[Court of the Star League]].<ref name=TSL-54>''The Star League'', pp. 54-55 "History - Economic and Scientific Advances"</ref><ref name=CS-6>''ComStar'', p .6 "History of ComStar - The Rise of Blake - Linking the Stars"</ref><ref name=ER2750-24>''Era Report: 2750'', pp. 24-25 "History and Review - Friends - Technology Ascendant"</ref>
 
 
 
An authority on the faster-than-light physics theories of [[Thomas Kearny]] and [[Takayoshi Fuchida]], after fifteen long years of secret and feverish work DeBurke would develop a means of sending radio waves via artificially generated [[jump point]]s, culminating in the first HPG station, built in [[2629]] just outside the Court of the Star League. Hoshiko joined with DeBurke in transmitting the first HPG message, "Watson, come quick, I need you" in tribute to past pioneers in communications, from [[Terra]] to [[New Earth]] on New Year's Day [[2630]].<ref name=TSL-54/><ref name=CS-6/><ref name=ER2750-24/>
