The Javelin J-1050 Sojourner is a widebody airliner designed by Javelin Industries. It is large, subsonic, and designed to have a long service range to cover long international flights around Micras.

The J-1050 is available in two versions. One version is the base passenger version that can handle 407 passengers in a 3-class layout. The other version is a freighter version, the J-1050F which can transport up to 102 metric tons of cargo.

Beginning in 1704 AN the J-1050F began to be delivered to air forces of the Benacian Union and Hurmu as part of orders placed under the Osman-Spiik Accord of 1703 AN. In military service the cargo transport variant has received the Raspur Pact designation of C-12 Sojourner. Forty C-12 were delivered between 1704 AN and 1716 AN, with the New Alexandrian government placing an order for a further forty in 1716 AN in an effort to maintain the manufacturing capabilities and assembly line for future use.

Indeed, the hand of the Community of Goldfield came to be suspected in the sudden decision of a number of airlines and cargo haulage companies in the member states of that bloc to place orders with Javelin Industries for the Sojourner during the course of 1716 AN. Although certainly airframes such as the Floret were nearing the end of their service lives, the push for a standardised airframe, rumoured to be funded by disguised subsidies made available via loans from the Honourable Company, indicated a desire by certain parties to build up a potentially dual-use fleet of long-range air transports. In any event, the aviation industry of Nouvelle Alexandrie, along with its associated supply chains stretching out across Constancia, Western Natopia, and the Benacian Union, was the immediate beneficiary, with order books that would take the better part of a decade to fulfil. Critics of the expanded procurement however noted that even if Javelin Industries was to achieve its ambitious target of completing 42 airframes of the type in 1717 AN it would still take 31 one years at that rate to fulfil the orders received during the course of 1716 AN. Moreover Javelin Industries would have to absorb significant financial risk unto itself if it sought to expand its assembly lines in order to expedite delivery.
