Actually, wo' is a singular entity, so {luDIlpu' wo'} implies that multiple empires paid for it.  ratlhtaH QaghlIj. DaSamtaHpa' yItuH.

As for the second part, I thought the ship was okay when it came off the assembly line, but ... SIbI'Ha' lI'Ha'choH.  'a DaH bIjatlh, not Qap.  SIbI' lIHa'.  DaH jIyaj.

DaH QaghlIj yISam, yIlughmoH 'ej pe'vIl yIbIj'egh.  OVS bop.
