Information
About
The United Interplanetary Trade Federation is a commercial organization that strives for peace through diplomacy and commerce. While our goal is peace, justice, and profit, we do have a highly skilled military who will protect both our organization and our assets. Becoming a member has no prerequisites. Becoming a member of the UITF Military requires a separate evaluation by Cap'n Taters. More detailed information can be found on our Steam group page or our Enjin site at http://uit-federation.enjin.com/home. We will post more information here every day.
Motto
Amicitia et Utilitas - "Friendship And Profit"
Current Political and Military Situations
5-8-2014 : The Imperium Empire has declared a universal hostility stance towards all publicly-listed factions, resulting in a rise in tension among all factions. The UITF is issuing a public appeal to form an alliance between factions in order to place regulations upon The Imperium to prevent open hostility, war, and disruption of commerce. For more information, contact DoctorDeathDefying on the Keen Software House forums.
Large Ship Classifications
Ships are classified by what purpose they serve. Within each class of ships are various hierarchies and models. These are explained within each class. Each subgroup can be followed by a number (Example: A1). This number represents the model of the craft. Each ship will also have a unique three-digit identification number after its name, written in braces {}. Identification numbers are only unique within a class - for example, an Ares ship can have the same identification number as a Mercury ship, but not the same as any other Ares ship.
Phaethon Class
These ships are used typically as transit and cargo ships. They are sleek and look aerodynamic, and some are even solar powered.
- Group A - These are the primary Phaethon class crafts, outfitted with four cargo containers and a large reactor. Models 1 and 2 of this group do not have solar power, but Models 3 and later do. Due to assessed needs, any further models developed by the UITF will also be outfitted with an assembler.
- Group B - These are secondary Phaethon class crafts, usually smaller than Group A craft. They have only two cargo containers and gain power from small reactors. Model 1 has one small reactor, while later models have two.
((due to lack of set specifications, the sections on Hephaestus and Ares crafts have been removed until a later date))
Station Classifications
Alpha Station
A station can only qualify as an Alpha Station if it is fairly large and can serve as a fortress or primary base of operation in the event of military operations in the sector. The UITF currently has two alpha stations: Hercules (Sector 1 and Federation Capital Station) and Odyssey (Sector 2, Under Construction).
Beta Station
Beta Stations are moderate-sized stations that serve as recharge stations, ship docks, or resupply bays. Beta Stations should have all the amenities of a normal station, including some form of gravity field. The UITF currently has four beta stations: Gemini (Sector 1, actually a complex containing two lesser stations, Castor and Pollux), Scorpio (Sector 2), Zakynthos (Sector 3), and Condor (Sector 3). At this time, all beta stations are currently under construction.
Outpost
Outposts are small stations that serve primarily as trading posts or resupply stops. They do not need to have a gravity field, but need to have a minimum of two locations where ships could dock. The UITF currently has four outposts: Altec (Sector 1), Hermes (Sector 2), Albatross (Sector 2), and Gulliver (Sector 3). At this time, all outposts are currently under construction.
Sectors
The owned space of the United Interplanetary Trade Federation is split up into three official sectors and one disputed sector. Each sector contains the stations listed below, as well as any ships that happen to be in the sector. All ships and stations of the UITF will be clearly marked with a beacon and the cobalt color of the Federation.
