The Ambassador of the UTR stood with his two companions as they spoke idly about the galaxy and the younger states. He heard his companion from the SKS mention the Black Alliance.

"Honest. Yes, I will give them that, but there is no ther virtue I would assign to them. You know our history of both internal piracy and raiding, and our laws governing piracy."

The Youma nodded his head. After the War the UTR had suffered massive civil wars for thirty years, followed by over a hundred years of rampant piracy and raiding. Because of this the UTR had the stiffest antipiracy laws in the known galaxies. Anyway caught in the act of piracy was to be summarily shot. No trials, just shot, by a special act of the Assembly that made it legal.

"So I assume you will be joing the Kingdom in refusing to recognize the Alliance."

"Of course my friend, our antions have stood together for a long time, you have supported us and we have supported you, against foes as long gone as the Boyd." He glanced to his left and then turned to speak to the Kzin Ambassador. "Someone seems to have offended some of your aides, you might want to see if they're planning on killing anyone important."

We ould aslo liek to know to what extent it would be permissible for civil UTR ships to transit and utilize your gate system. An economic commitee believes that the world of New Baltimore would be the best location for the gate.

We would also like to know by what method you planning on building that gate since you appear to have no way of transit to our spce without the gate. Will you need to Charter a UTR vessel?
UTR ships can use the gate system for the same fee as any other ships. Restricted addresses (shipboard gates, military bases, other sensitive locations) will not be available without prior notice.

We do have means of reaching your space on our own, but if time is short one of your vessels will be necessary.

A half dozen dignitaries in clean, simple uniforms entered the chamber. One of them was extremely tall and thin, his willowy form held in a mesh of exoskeletal struts.

The Three Suns Commonwealth, a capitalist, meritocratic, militaristic nation is open to trade agreements.

Then TSC's primary exports are weapons, heavy industry consumer goods, second-rate bio/genetic products, and some of the finest mercenary soldiers.

-

One of the dignitaries approached the representative of the United Terran Republic.

"As a representative of the Three Suns Commonwealth, a colonial Human power, I propose a free trade alliance, and propose a limited military alliance to facilitate the protection of Human-crewed merchant vessels from pirate attacks."

The KSE is open to free trade agreements with all powers that have offered

The Deputy Director noticed the sizling drop of acid, and the sudden reactions of the other ambassadors. My, My, My, aren't we frightened...
With a flicker of thought, he activated one of his implants, sheating himself in a force field, which would prevent any liquid from touching his skin.

Slowly, he stood up and walked up to Krytonian ambassador. "As we were saying, we'd like to know what you'd be willing to pay for our services."

In the back of his head, he assessed the possible economic possibilities of such a powerful acid and sent a note through his implant homewards.

The Krytosian ambassador turned to the deputy directory

we would be willing to offer up to half a million credits per world, as well as no import tariffs for your cargo ships.

The Krytosian ambassador pulled out a small holoprojector and activated it.

"This reigon here indicates our territory"

A small reigon on the galactic map lit up

"And this is the frontier"

The map zoomed in to a smaller reigon of space consisting of about fourty planets

"Why don't you start with the Karsi alpha system?"

The map zoomed in even further, indicating a system with six planets, a single gas giant and one star

"How does that sound?

Looking at the chart, the DD nodded. The location would do for a trade outpost. Looking at the other planets, he frowned slightly.
"I'm not that well informed about normal planets, so we would need to know to what standards the biosphere domes need to be constructed before we can begin constructing and delivering them.9But as soon as it is discussed, we could begin with the delivery within one standard months to your construction crews."

"Your aides are too quick, I think, against that giant beaver. Better to let their aide make a fool out of himself before accepting, though perhaps the damage is already done. Who brings ones so quick tempered to a conference of the galaxy?" asked the youma.

"A warrior of the Kzin must promptly defend their honor, you know that, Ambassador," replied the Kzin. "We would no more than hesitate to defend our honor than you for a slight on your late Queen."

"Speaking of Queens and service and honor, Nguyen, why did you retire from the Navy? You were in it since nearly the founding of the Confederation and through the dark times of the early Kingdom, why leave? Your skills would be valuable for them, not wasting your time amongst such rabble as these," questioned the human from Earth.

"Indeed. A warrior to leave before old age or death? And save us your silly mimicries of feebleness, all of us know that you don't age," added in the Kzin.

"The Fleet doesn't need me. There are plenty of competent admirals who survived the War. And besides, how many ships did I personally command in the Great War? Or even before the great arms race? More than the galaxy's fleets combined now, I'll wager. A detached division of the Wall could have laid waste to a thousand of these worlds without problem.

"Now," he said, as he finished off his drink. Premium SPYDER brand Vodka; concentrated to levels lethal in most sentient beings. "Now, what? The Royal Navy doesn't even have two thousand modern ships. We could use ten times that many and still be understrength. They don't need another flag officer on the rolls. "

Across the galaxy, corporate representatives (read: diplomats) began to show up at various nations' seats of power to discuss trade agreements and possibly take orders.

One such representative, who happened to be a Gorn, entered the [conference?]. Several heads turned as the tall, lizardish alien, who was dressed in a snappy business suit yet wore no shoes, began to walk across the floor carrying his briefcase. Reaching a corner of the room where a pre-assigned table was, he opened his briefcase and set up a display stand highlighting what the Corporate Sector has to offer in the way of products and services.

A MegaFreighter has been sent under UTRN Escort to your homeworld. It should be capable of carrying all needed personel and equipment. We will add this to the construction bill. OF course everyone and everything loaded aboard the MegaFreighter will have to thorughly checked before being brought into UTR space.

Several construction firms have submitted bids for the Gate contract. Those bids and other info will be available to your reps once they board the ship.
