The Balrogga Empire would like to officially announce the completion of a project that will establish the Empire as an Intergalactic Trade Hub.

We have undertaken a project that demanded a great deal of time and resources to develop the first programmable Worm Hole Device (WHD).

The Empire has taken a large number of unclaimed neutron stars and moved them to the Threshold System. We have arranged them so their gravitational influence acts as a lens to direct the other end of an artificial wormhole to just about any place in the known universe.

This means any Future Tech nation who wishes to use the WHD can get to any market to trade their goods. Using the WHD will cut time and expenditures to a minimum, ensuring a larger profit margin.

Any corporation who wishes to use the WHD will route their traffic to the Threshold System. The ships will be scanned and registered before the Nav Computer pilots the ships through the aperture of the wormhole.


The Empire will insist the following guidelines are followed:

1) There will be no commissions accepted to use the WHD against any star or planet. This is not a weapon.

2) All wormholes will appear outside the target system, never within it. This is to ensure the security of the target system is not breached. Again, this will not be used as a weapon.

3) All vessels must register and submit for a scan before they will be allowed to pass through the wormhole. The navigation will be done by a slave Nav Comp. This is to ensure no ships will fall prey to the gravity well of the Neutron Stars.

4) Records of the scan are kept for insurance purposes. They will be held for a period of 10 years before being deleted. They can only be viewed in person upon The Station, Threshold System.

5) There will be no fighting within 1 LY of the Threshold System. The ITH Police Force will be on site to ensure the peaceful passage of all craft. They will also protect ships from raiders within the Network and the boundries around the Gatestations.

6) Corporate and Government Accounts are welcome. The base cost per ship for usage of the WHD would be 100 Galactic Credits.

7) This service is open to any ships that are friendly to the ITH.



The Empire would like to compose a directory of nations who wish their worlds to be connected to this trade hub. All those interested, please contact the Empire and we will add your nation to the list.

Please note: If a nation is in the Directory, all worlds are open unless individual worlds are listed.

EDIT:

Please note:

The ITH may not be used to trasport military vessels for any reason. This is for intergalactic trade only. The ITH will not be used as a weapon of any sort. Guidelines One and Two clearly states this.

If you attempy to sneak them through, the scan will reveal the ship as a warship (the reason for the scan). The ships also will not be navigated through the Hub, resulting in them being sent to an unknown location where the police force would be waiting. It would also get your status reduced to Probationary.

Members on Probationary Status will have all ships searched by hand, instead of the typical scan. This would result in longer delays and increases usage fees. Any further violation will result in being removed from the directory, resulting in a loss of monitary gains to your economy the ITH provided.

Please do not try to use this for any military means.

If anyone see this being used for a military means please TG me immediately.

NOTE: The size of the Wormhole is variable so a fleet may pass through.


Edit:

After being contacted by Outer Heaven, The Empire was offered the use of their technology to expand our transfer system to other parallel universes. The hybridization of our two systems would allow us to sustain a network of conduits to wherever we establish the openings. We have decided to take them up upon their offer and make Outer Heaven a partner in this venture. Details of this technology are being kept secret.

We will both divert one of our fleets to patrol the corridors of the Transfer Hub to safeguard the passage of the cargo vessels. We will also place transfer stations at the Local Gates to assist the passage of ships into the WHD and to collect the usage fee. The fees will be collected from the ships right before they enter the conduit.

The greatest advantage to this system is the ships no longer need expensive interstellar FTL engines to get from world to world. They only need to get to the edge of the system, enter the Aperture into the conduit and travel a few minutes before exiting outside the target system, and then travel in system to reach their ports.

In the event someone attacks the WHD, the Station will Uplift to T-Space and all the Neutron Stars will be spun from the safety of T-Space, turning them into pulsars. This would effectively eliminate any invasion force but it will shut down the whole system for a while until the device can be reset.

Outer Heaven MK II humbly requests to be added to the catalogue. The Universes are as follows: Armageddon, Oshur, Triton and Delta Serpentis.

The Imperium shall be connected to this...trade network.
Her current systems are Chronosian System, Tyr System, Hydran System and the entire Hralgkrak Quadrant

The Weishaupt Nano-Industries Space Corp wishes to be connected to this system.

Current WNISC locations are:
Haven artificial planetoid, Sol Oort Cloud
Ankh System
Akronos System
Starsailor battlestation, Slith System

I wish to add these destinations.
Deep Space Supply Station in the Hapsburg Nebula

We also ask that you include our small, humble 'Hiroshikan System' to be part of you catalogue of trading hubs. I hope that our trade relations will become more in touch. Chao!

can the sephrions have a link to thier aura fortifed system

Put me on that list... if you want to lol

The Imperium of Ageaol wishes to be connected to this network. Our destinations are the Vega System, the Ageaol System, and the Mofalca Quadrant of the Loralca Galaxy.

The Godulans wish for the Thorn System to be added to this directory. However, if it would be allowed, we would like to maintain the right to allow entry only to those whom we give express permission to, as we would absolutely hate it if some belligerent power decided to amass forces on your side of the wormhole and ask to be placed on our front lawn.

The Yaforites ask theat the Planarian System and Jedro System be added. Thank you.

Well this certainly seems to be going well, we haven't had to use a Bump! yet!

I am editing the catalog and making a couple additions thanks to Outer Heaven. Check out the post again

(OOC: Neutron stars and gravitational manipulation to make a wormhole that can reach anywhere? Damn, I wish I had thought of the neutron star bit. Would have made things a lot easier to explain for my little superweapon that I made last year. It's basically the same as your device your device, except, it's used to carry a large energy beam, (Which itself is many beams focused into one.) anywhere, any time.)

The Ascendancy Sphere would like to add to the catalogue with the following Systems as hubs where wormholes can be established in the Core Milky Way Galaxy:

~ The Sien System
~ The Red Hue System
~ The Proto Colony System
~ The Fox VI System

These Systems can also serve as major hubs of not only trade, but culture, and other aspects that can be considered. Do note that these wormholes will be guarded at out end by a Fleet Group and new Boson JumpChulip Stations that will become checkpoints for security purposes. All foreign nations must be inspected by deep (harmless) scans before proceeding inward the Republic Core Worlds.

The Romulan Serpantol Imperium has authorized the Request of two planets with trade stations to be added to the catalogue. It is felt that this network would greatly improve trade deliveries to and from the Godularin Empire as well as others.

Catalogue Entries are as follows:

- Sepantol II (Vetrious Station)
- Dracorious II (Galolayous Station)

The RSI would like to thank you for considering us for your Trade Network,

Draconic Order:

We would be willing to include you in the system, but we will have to set up our own station to:

(1) properly scan the ships entering our Local Gate
(2) collect the fee from the captain

We have to scan every ship to make sure the only ships going through the Hub are commercial vessels and not any military ships. This is the only way we can be sure the Hub cannot be used as a weapon.

I hope you understand.

The Gate Station will be crewed by our personal at no cost to you. We can place the Local Gate near your jump gate if it is outside your system (outside the Oort Cloud). We will not allow any Local Gates within any solar system due to it bypassing the defenses of that system.

This is another safeguard to be sure it is not being used as a weapon.

The TCSC2025 Jump Gate is at the edge of the system, there is only one other natural jump point out of the system besides the jump gate. Having the gate linked with your array will ensure our security.
As for the security issue, thats easy enough to address. Build your gatestation around the currently active gate, that way you have your scans and your building fees would be drastically reduced.
We have already read the purposal stating the use of your array for non-military cargo transport/shipping and understand the disasterous result if it was. We do not plan on using the array for those purposes.

~Message end.~

OOC:

I am not sure if our system would over ride your jump gate system. It will over ride other events like rifts, wormholes, and the such. That is why I am hesitant to allow the merging of the Local Gate with your Jump Gates. I will have to review the tech with my partner.

The Gatestation can restrict entrance or exit, such as requested by Godular.

Though the council is in doubt that Parlimian ships would ever use the gate system (mostly because Parlimian ships are equipped with wormhole drives themselves, and the fact that we are currently building a Subspace Catapult to launch ships to far off destinations), we formally request to be added to the destination catalogue, the target system being the Horizon System, ships that pass through will be given permission to dock at Port Hope, the capitol space station of the Republic.

Horizon added to the list. Your system is now open to traders to visit.

The Sskiss are most interested in your offering.....We occupy 22 "creche of worlds" [star-systems] including all colonies and other enclaves.

We offer these resources for exchange.

Sskiss Imports

Magnetic Monopoles: We currenty produce only about 78% of our capacity, more is required. Particals or solid rods are needed, the process for creating the latter is dangerous and rather time consuming. Mainly used in our reactionless drive systems and some warheads.

Anti-Matter Particals: We currently produce about 85% of our capacity, more is required. Mainly used in anti-matter power plants (ship board only) and a number of warheads as well as some direct fire weaponry. (Currently supplied by the Imperium of Central Facehuggria (complete trade dominance)

Neutronium: The Sskiss require this exotic element in certain military applications.

Protocol Droids: "Floaters" are prefered. Used only for diplomatic purposes - basically as "go betweens" between the Sskiss and other species and to assist in translations and similar proceeders. This can also be traded as a service.

Mechanical based portable weaponary: The Sskiss also require kinetic based firearms based on their own physiology/morphology. Munitions for these weapons are also needed.

Fresh Cadavers: The Sskiss are always interested in the biology and physiology of other sentient species for medical, research and other scientific purposes.

Sskiss Exports:

Various Animal Protein based foods: The Sskiss possess a huge variety in such foods as many of there worlds are lush possessing high bio-diversity resulting in rich faunas. Foods include both vertabrate and invertabrate sources in great abundance.

Various Vegatable based foods: Although the Sskiss are carnivorous, they realize the potential for trade for this commodity. Vegatables and fruits are in great variety and abundance.

Herbs and Spices: Like the former, there are a great variety of this potential trade item. Medicinal and culinary forms are available.

Timber: A huge variety of woods are available and are rotationally harvested from various worlds.

Various Biologicals: Used such diverce applications as terraforming, mutagenic biomatter, Organic brains (living computers), Bio-Neural links, medical applications as well as organ and limb regeneration.

Various Biota: The Sskiss possess at least 12 million known species of plants and animal in their data banks. Used in the last phases of any terraforming operation, the biota for a newly terraformed world is carefully selected and placed. A viable thriving ecosystem is the result.

Radioactive Elements: The Sskiss possess high grade Plutonium, Neptunium, Thorium, Radon, Radium as well as a host of other radioactives. Supply is vast (over 5500% of capacity), indeed they have more than they know what to do with. Mainly used in proton torpedoes and other warheads as a "primer", while others have more industrial applications. All elements are stored in "magnetic bottles" and are in turn stored in various resilient alloyed containers.

Entertainment Software: Ever wondered how it would be like to hunt the various deadly denizens Sskiss inhabited worlds? Or even the Sskiss themselves? How about even become a Sskiss? Well now you can and in the safely of you own home! The Sskiss have seem to have seen the potential for these types of entertainment products for trade. A direct bio-neural link to the brain is required.

Mercenary Services: This is offered as a military service for those who need additional troops in a hurry. Loyal (so long as they are well fed), methodical and utterly focused, these make excellent troops for any would-be dark warlord or rebellion!

Note: Note responsible for mass deaths of non-military populations or the "incidental" devouring of potential employers.

Note: Since the Sskiss possess no real currency, trade is based on a unit per unit basis or an exchange of services and will be agreed upon by both sides.

Any further violation will result in being removed from the directory, resulting in a loss of monitary gains to your economy the ITH provided.

Please do not try to use this for any military means.

Does this in anyway affect the biology of creatures using the gate system? If not then we will gladly allow the transport to a designated region outside of our main systems. The designated location is the "Zeres Checkpoint" since allowing more than one compromises our security, though of course we in no way doubt your scans we are a very... cautious people.

In addition Nili specialised in Genetics and Bio-Tech, though is also rather well off in the robotics department. We wouldn't want any of our "products" to become damaged due to harmful radiation...

There are no known side effects to using the ITH.

We thank you for understanding the need for the scans. Your destination will be added to the directory and after that you can use the ITH for your trade to any other nation listed in the directory.

No Endorse, worried about national security but anxious for the trade this would bring in, would like to request a station. Please place it at the edge of the Haven system. No Endorse will stregnthen the garrison at Haven to aid in protecting the station. If travelers through this gate wish to continue on to another planet, we will construct several hypergates in the system, allowing non-FTL drive equipt craft to jump to most major systems in No Endose. This will be a very important componet in the network of civilian hypergates we are assembling.

The Shadowy State of Snake Eaters would like to request that this be made avaliable to us, reaching the following locations: Snake Eater Prime, Tiravano, Terra, Coreth

No Endorse and Snake Eaters added to the Directory.

QUETZAL wishes that a single wormhole be placed in the Otagia system, in a heliocentric orbit opposite Otagia Prime.

Our policy is we will never comprimise the security of a system by placing a Local Gate within the system. For this reason we place them outside the system. We will place a Local Gate and a Gatestation to cotrol access immediately.

Thank you for your business.

No.

Draconic, this system is a very linear, very special system. What you're requesting me and my partner don't want to do.

You have a choice.

You either allow us to build a TaDERE on the edge of your system, connecting you to the ITH, or you don't get connected to this system at all. Simple.

No one has requested anything like this so far, and our system is sound, what you are requesting would compromise our system, and we'd likely take over your gate.

You have your choice Draconic, pick wisely.

If you are worried about security, place a base near the Gatestation. Don't point weapons at it or shoot the occasional ITH Police vessel that will arrive and dock with the station. The only other ships that will be comming out of it are trade vessels.

OOC: So THATS what you were doing with those stars... Anyway, i have a question about this. If you pass through the hub to a different solar system and do your buisness there, can you get back into the hub? Is it one way, or what.

The WNI board of directors wishes to know if this system could be a threat to the Ankhmeti dominance and monopoly on Q-Space?

Einhauser:

The ITH is a system of stable artificial wormholes we create and maintain. The trade ships who wish to use them will aproach the Local Gate(the one we place outside your system). The Gatestation will scan your ship to be sure you are not a military vessel. The captain pays the toll ($100) and the Nav Computer will take control of your ship and guide it through the wormhole out the other side. Once you are through, the control is released and you can go into the system and do whatever trading you wanted to do. When you are done, you head outsystem towardes the Gatestation and repeat the process. The travel time averages 5-10 minutes from one side of the worm hole to the other end.


Ankhmet:

I am not sure what your Q-Space is. The combination of Outer Heaven technology and my Dimensional Technology most likely would allow the access to this Q-Space. I would need more information before I can make a decision. The ITH only connects to the nations listed in the directory.

No.

Very well, you may build your station...

Draconic Order:

System TCSC2025 has been aded to the directory as your sole destination. A Local Gate had been established and a Gatestation emerged from the vortex, taking position. After tests are ran and finished, a message is sent to you announcing the Local Gate is open for business.

(Standard procedure)

Q-Space is a nightmarish hell Universe similar to the Immaterium, or 'warp', as used by WH40k nations. Though incredibly difficult to find even to our ships, which are completely geared towards the use of Q-space, we think you may be able to gain access.

Any ship entering Q-space has to pass over 900 IFF code tests. Failure of just one results in the automated cruisers firing upon the interloper. This is out of ocncern for others as much as my dominance.

If Possible The Dominion of Emperor Pudu would like to request the opening of a gate to the Traxel system, where the majority of Imperial trade occurs. There are three Core Pudite worlds, Pudite, Nessus, and Cania. These process most of the trade and the Gate would be positioned between the systems containing these worlds, and the Pudite fringe worlds.

OOC: so, military vessels arent allowed? What about escorts for merchantile convoys. Without them pirates just have to wait on the other side and they never have to do any work.

OOC: so, military vessels arent allowed? What about escorts for merchantile convoys. Without them pirates just have to wait on the other side and they never have to do any work.
OOC: I think the gatestation is guarded pretty well, though the fact that turning the stars into pulsars would basically annialate their own patrol ships in the area is a bit disturbing. ^_~ Once you get through the warp the gate station should take care of your protection I guess.

Outer Heaven and I am patroling the wormholes. The ships are clearly marked with the ITH logo. The Gatestations are sitting right outside the individual systems with several defence systems guarding the Gatestations. Each nation can also place whatever forces they wish to guard their end of the gate, as long as they stay at least 5000 meters from the Gatestation and the Local Gate.

You enter your Local Gate and you are automatically routed to your destination. As long as the Hub in the Threshold System (the one with the Neutron Stars) remains oporational, the system will remain active. The only way to shut down the system is to take control of the Hum, which is guarded by it's own fleet. The fleet would hold off the attackers while the system clears of travelers. Once clear, the fleet would Uplift to T-Space and they would shut everything down and spin the stars, turning them into Pulsars while we sit in T-Space.

If someone enters a Local Gate without clearance, they are rerouted to a nasty place where we will be waiting for them.

The reason for these extreme measures is nobody wants a fleet suddenly appearing on the edge of their system, I will not allow this to be used for military purposes so only civilian trading ships will be given clearance to enter the Local Gates. It is for everyone's safety.


Image if your enemy had one of these...

...that is why I will not allow military ship through other than the ones we are using to provide security.


Emperor Pudu will be added momentarily.

The Federation Trade Union made up of mutiplae nations requests that we be admitted to this wormhole.


The Endora Facility will be our destination it is the Center of the FTU and our main processing facility.

Well, ok, im sold. Placing one of these in my system would eliminate the need for expensive and bulky TMDs to be installed in merchant vessels.

Id like a gate installed outside the Sol system (I realize that other nations have claims to the Sol system, but hey, pretned its another universe or something). This will allow acces to Mars, Jupiter, Earth, Luna, and all the respective shipyards orbiting the planets, while still allowing me to set up LOTS of guards and wards to repel invaders. I realize that you say its totally safe, but im paranoid.

I will add you to the Directory. A Local Gate will be established outside your system and the first thing through it will be the Gatestation. You are now free to begin trade using the ITH to trade with any others listed in the Directory.

Sol was the second system I added to the Directory because so many nations are from there or origionated there (including my own nation).

((I just assume that there is a system resembling the Sol system for each person who uses the concept. The fact that they all call it the Sol system and that all the planets carry the same name is a tie to the old human life. As humans spread across the stars and evolved or de-evolved into other species.))

A trade hub? Well, the traders and merchants in HT have been long asking for some method of trading with multiple nations, so I wonder if you could enable travel to three of my systems?

Goria (Agricultural world)
Illus (Trade hub world, most goods go here)
Teion (Mining system with 12 worlds with valuable goods on them)

Thanks in advance.

Also, could we open a wormhole in our colony world of Tssy, which is so far from the rest of the Realm that it is failing, and people are starving. This way we can supply Tssy cheaply, and would be more than willing to compensate you for any costs.

Sol is the system containing Earth. It is named after the sun, Sol. It is where the NS Earth Prime is located.

Hyperspatial Travel, the requested systems will be set up with their own Local Gates and Gatestations within the hour. You can send any non-military vessel through the system whenever you wish. Good luck with your colony.

You have already been added to the Directory so you might have merchants arriving very soon.

The Government of FutureEngland has licensed me to request a gate installed outside the following systems

Nepoliany system
Terrnessy system
Arselen system
Nepolopis system

Due to recent terrorist acts on sveral of our systems we will have to have the Imperial Home Guard patrolling near the gates on all systems, they will be armed and will shoot known terrorists on site without any hesitation.

Welcome to the ITH. Within an hour you will have your Local Gate set up and oporational. A Gatestation will be assigned and control the access to the Local Gate. We will crew all personal.

I do have a question?

Do you also have your version of the Imperial Homeguard? We do too.

Kaymiril, although it is not space-tech yet, opens its borders to inter-planetary trade.

We can be reached through the Terra port that Snake Eaters had installed.

*Official Statement from Queen Kaymiril VII*

Flightopia would like to be added to the catalouge, we are in the Homeworld system A.K.A the Solar System.

Kaymiril: You have been added to the Directory. I directed traffic for your nation through the Terra Gate.

Flightopia. You are also added and are able to use the gate system



So far, this allows 36 nations, Sol System, and The Federal Trade Union ( another 18 nations) to have the ability to freely trade together.

That is aproximetely 53 nations making each other wealthy so far. This is not counting the many unlisted nations in the Sol System.

If you know anyone who might be interested please direct them to this link. The more nations participating, the larger your markets and chance for profits.

Ooh, profit!!

Quick question: Say one of my systems are in trouble as another nation, not a member of the trade hub, is attacking it. In that situation may we gain permission to use the gates for military purposes? An express emergency?

The use of the ITH for any military purposes by member nations is prohibited. The attempted use of the ITH by non-member nations will result in the intruding vessels being diverted and or destroyed.

This is for commercial use only. This is to safeguard your own nations from possible offensive use of the ITH by enemy nations. I must draw the line at no usage at all. No exceptions will be allowed. Even for my own nation.

The only military vessels allowed to use the ITH system is the two fleets of Outer Heaven and The Balrogga Empire that are dedicated to protect the safe passage of your ships from raiders and pirates. These ships are clearly marked with their own colors and designs so they cannot be confused with other ships from our navies. As a matter of fact, the Empire does not even count these dedicated vessels as part of our own Naval inventory.

Ok, got that.

Anoter scenario: I one of your systems is in a medical emergency and needs doctors that are in another system. Allowed then?

I think he made it pretty clear that no military vessels are allowed through. Stop asking.

As long as they are not military vessels.

The scans taken at the Gatestation will reveal the presence of a military vessel. The Nav Computer will then take the approved ship on it's path through the ITH to it's destination. If a military vessels is detected the ship will be rejected or it could be diverted to where several ITH police vessels are waiting...


This is my attempt to keep the ITH from being used for wars.

No member will be invaded this way.

Gadget Corporation would like to link the planet Scarilius Prime and the Gadget Corporation Headquarters, both located in the Aphotic Galaxy, to the trade hub.

The Republic uses Wormholes (Kraskinov Tubes) for normative transit already. But, for facilitation; we would be glad to be considered a destination point for the following member-systems of this Republic

Tekania Prime
Thompsonia
Tekarna
Tekadia
-and-
Celestus.

In addition we can provide return transits with or without the need of the hub. Most Tekanian Capital vessels, as well as some freighters are outfitted with Kraskinov Generators.... And for short trips, the SK-10 "Lancer" can be used to generate wormholes for smaller vessels:

in response to balrogga we do have our own version of the Imperial homeguard and also we thank your great nation as the gate is working and our people appreciate it as it has improved our trade by massive amounts

(bump)

The Empire calls it's planetary defence forces The Homeguard. They are completely seperate from the Imperial Navy.

From my point of view it was almost sounding like you were asking for The Homeguard to keep the area safe. I had to assume you also had a Homeguard yourselves.

The Eternal Dominion of Warhaven wishes to participate in the Intergalactic Trade Hub, and has installed a Gate near the Wild Planet of Riptide. A Space station orbiting the planet will serve for all trading purposes.

Um, you got it backwards.

A Local Gate will be established outside the requested system and a Gatestation will be operational within the hour.

Ok. Well, the space station is still to be used for all trade.

That is fine.

I place the gates outside the systems so they cannot be used to bypass a nations defenses. It is a redundant measure I take in case someone does happen to slip a military ship through. They would still have to get through the defences of the system first.

We would like to request that two more destinations be placed on our list of destinations. We would like to have access to the system in which Riptide is located, and also access to the Balroggan homeworld, as it has become increasingly difficult to conduct trade with said nations due to a significant increase in warp storm activity in the past few months

The Empire of Sonaj wishes to be allowed to use this magnificent system. The systems open for trade are:
Sonaj
Empiria Centauri
Nojash

We also have one system closed for trade of all sorts (as it has no industry and no real inhabitants, only droids at the moment):
Emperor´s Neshta (also called "emperor´s playground" by some now late sonaians), wich is used only for the Emperor and the High Command during bad times.

Snake Eaters:

The Balrogga Empire was the first nation to be included when we set up the ITH. All wolds are open to trade.

Warhaven reciently contacted the ITH asking to include Riptide in the Directory. They have been added. You should not have any diffaculty reaching any planetary system listed in the Directory.


Sonaj:

All three of your systems will be added to the Directory and you will be able to access the ITH within about an hour.


I would like to thank everyone who joins this endevor.

I thank you for every ounce of assistance you have given in spreading the word about the ITH.

One note, the Gatestations are placed at my own expense, not yours. he only thing you ever have to pay is the toll. You will make in profits several times the toll so we all win.

Your two additional systems has been added to the Directory. They will be operational within the hour.

Including the 18 members of the FTU, we currently have about 58 nations in the directory.

(bump for exposure)

What if I wish to transport weapons or weapons components for assembly elsewhere. Perhaps I need to fortify an outer planet quickly, will this system allow me to do that or will I continue to have to rely on my own FTL system?

I would not let Seph use this to fortify his troops earlier. Your question falls within the same grey area.

No military usage, only commercial.

I would say convoys carrying military equipment and supplies classify as "Military Usage", since they are normally controled by military command, as opposed to civilian transit.

If you like, you can make negotion with the Tekanian Republic on purchase of a couple of Kraskinov Wormhole Gates (http://thecomputerman.dyndns.biz/fleet/fleet/alpha_one.jpg) for such application.

Hey, quit thread-jacking. You want to advertise your system, make a thread for it.

A Local Portal will be established outside your home system within the hour. A Gatestation will be sent through and it will control access into and out of the Local Gate.

Barring any unseen circumstances, your first vessels could be sent through before the hour is finished.

Note to everyone:

If you ever notice anyone using this system to move military ships please TG me immediately.

The Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia would like to link the following systems to the Intergalactic Trade Hub:

We also have a question: we know that warships are not allowed to use the ITH, but currently the only two classes of spacecraft in our nascent Space Navy have some light armaments (see this thread for more details: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=428641). If we promised to refrain from using weapons while using the ITH, would they be allowed to use the network?

Your three systems have been added to the Directory. Within an hour each will be accessable to the rest of the ITH members.

Please place a link in your sig when you get a chance so other members can identify you.

About your question, as stated before, no military vessels are allowed to use the ITH system. This is for civilian trade.

The Calpian Empire would like to be part of this organisation. We want the following systems to be included: Calpian System, Vidia System.

You have been added to the Directory. Your Local Gates will be operational within the hour. Two Gatestations has been assigned and will be the first thing to emerge from the gateways. Once the Gates has been stabilized, they will be open to commercial traffic.

There have already been warnings issued to people who attempt to thread-jack here. I would suggest that you remove this post, before I go back to using good ole' co-axial warpdrives and remove you from time and space.

We boycott you, and place a trade embargo on you, effective immediatley. We would also like to ask that this nation never be permitted entry into the ITH

What are you talk about I was member here almost from the beginning and this is part of the trade hub!!

Don't use this place to advertise your own network. Use other areas for that. Only ITH buisness should be discussed here. And you never mentioned it was part of the actual hub

The Hagge nation have been part of the Trade hub almost from the beginning. Read the treads and you will see.
This is a place for more trade between the different region and it's independent from ALL REGION.
I'm just the owner even if I coming from a region.
But here we can go in to more in dept on that sale and buy.

OOC: First, can you spell at all? Second, can you type in black, like a normal person? Third, you never actually stated that you wanted it to be connected to the hub, and as such it cannot be part of the hub

First I don't think it is you to you!! second who care if the spelling is perfect and I always have written in Darkred and will continius to do so..

That first statement meant nothing to me. At all. Not a bit. Care to expand upon it?

So, you were a member before me? And your point is? Why bother with a station in the first place, if the ITH allows all members to travel to all other nations and gates within it's network?

it should read "It's not up to you", sorry...

I'm not going to argue with you. It looks like you just like to fight...

Prez RBS

All I'm saying is, all the trade can be conducted here. We don't need an offsite forum to do it. That's all I was trying to say.

Okay, after me and Balrogga discussed this issue a short while ago, I feel it's time to tell you guys a few things.

The ITH Thread is here for two purposes. The first is to make people aware of the system, and therefore, sign up to it. The second purpose, is for member Nations (if they wish), to advertise goods and technology they're willing to trade over the ITH. No non-member Nation may do this. Also, no Nation, member or non-member, may advertise any technology, or any other form of FTL travel, other than the ITH, in this thread. This is final. If any member Nation is caught doing this, they will be in trouble. Also, any member Nation caught advertising other forms of FTL travel, other than the ITH, outside this thread, are open to discipline.

Now that's cleared up, onto you Hagge. We've decided that we'll accept your offer. However, your trade station is only a part of the ITH. You do not get any special treatment, and you do not have any superiority over the ITH. We will place a TaDERE near your trade station, to allow your region's traders into our system. Any ship going through the ITH will pay a fixed toll of one hundred credits. Credits are the standard currency of the ITH.

I hope this has cleared things up. Oh, and just to let you know, we're doing a half price deal on Metal Gears. We've got millions of REX's, RAY's and ROBIN's to sell, along with the Metal Gear Battle Suit packs. All are loaded and ready to go into battle, none have been used, and they've all got perfect marks on Battle Tests. The standard price is two Billion per Metal Gear REX, four Billion per RAY, sixty four Billion per ROBIN and thirty two per Metal Gear Battle Suit Packs. Battle Suits are unique Battle Suits designed for special purposes on the Battle Field. If you want more info, merely TG me, or preferrably, talk to me over MSN.

Due to the no Military Ships rule we have here for the ITH, we're selling the Metal Gears dissasembled and packaged. We won't deliver them, but you can come and buy them, and take them back on your own trade ships. Ammunition for the various weapons on the Metal Gear is supplied, but we're willing to sell you packs for when you run out, dissassembled. Any Metal Gear or ammunition sent will have instructions on how to assemble. Ammunition costs a flat rate of eight Billion, and are likely to last two years for any Metal Gear, even if it sees front-line duty offer.

Buy now!

Outer Heavens is correct.

We will set up a Local Gate near the Deep Space Station if you wish. It would be much more efficient to also set them up for each of your 37 Regional members but that is their own individual choice.

As soon as you request it, the ITH will place the Local Gate and Gatestation.


Please note: the Gatestation and the TaDERE are two different terms for the same thing.

I would like to purchase two Metal Gear RAY's, and will send a cargo ship to pick them up. Given the failure of the Metal Gear Leviathan project, we wish to use these to prehaps revive the Leviathan model, and make it even better than before

Are there any issues with locating the exitpoint and guard station within a hollow planetoid if one of a suitable size and location is available ?

Thanks, Outer Heaven MK II!! I agree no special treatment to anyone... This station is part of the ITH trade hub. And anyone is welcome to go there or not. Just now we have special heat resistant metal for sale.

Thank Balrogga, and yes please place a local gate close to the station. Any special aragment needed?

Prez RealBigSwede

A recent influx of grain has resulted in a considerable surplus, which we are willing to sell throughout the ITH. Prices will be 5000 credits per ten tonnes (ten being the minimum we can ship in a economically viable way), and buying ten thousand tonnes results in a 10% discount. We have five hundred thousand tonnes to distribute

Also, any member Nation caught advertising other forms of FTL travel, other than the ITH, outside this thread, are open to discipline.
I disagree with this statement. My nation possesses a superior method of FTL travel, which I will not discuss here, as per standard. The main reason I joined the ITH is to open my nation to further trade, as my FTL system is not widely used, excepting PRA trading vessels, my military and some rogue traders. It is still important for my nation to foster wider use of our own FTL system.

He did say 'advertise'. So long as you don't advertise your method here, it's fine. You can use it for your military, and use the ITH for trading

As I understand it, his statement said that advertising OUTSIDE this thread would be punishable (see bolded section). THAT is my problem, as I'm quite willing to refrain from advertising for the Mobius Guild here.

Ah, I see the problem. Bal, he's right. I mean, theres no way I only use the ITH, as it cannot transport miltary ships. Couldn't you say that we can advertise our own forms if we choose, outside this thread, but not inside it? Because otherwise we're all severly handicapped

Yea, there is no way im giving up my TMD. A taskforce from the Temproal Alliance couldnt pry it away from me, so dont even try.

As I understand it, his statement said that advertising OUTSIDE this thread would be punishable (see bolded section). THAT is my problem, as I'm quite willing to refrain from advertising for the Mobius Guild here.

i think, but am not entirely sure, that statement is slightly out of context

i think it is meant to mean that you are not allowed to advertise here or else where FTL technology for trade using ITH i.e no trade of FTL technologies via ITH whatsoever.

if it does mean that you cant trade FTL technology at all then id be takeing my busness elsewhere aswell

Our region to have other way to travel. But we are still trying to perfect it. It have a tendancy to close it self down after an hour. and then it takes upto 3 hours to reastablish the wormhole. But our scientist in our research lab is working on the problem... even if it have taken many years.

Our fishing fleet have landed a record catch and we are willing to sell 1500 metric ton of fresh fish. the cost is 18.000 WW$eti/ton, Min is 100 ton. All sale of 250ton will be 15.000 WW$eti. 1 WW$ETI = 1 us$.

When OH comes online I will see what I can do about getting an edit or a clarification of his wording.



I just want everyone to use this for commercial trading. This system could have been severely abused as a weapon. I am trying to do the opposite than everyone else out there. That is why I restricted this from military use. To show there is another way to do super projects other than offensive.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programs...


Edit: I just added the Deep Space Trading Station to the Directory. All members of the DSTS will have to use their own FTL to get to the station unless they sign up for a Local Gate of their own. This would cut travel times significantly down. Once they make it to the station, the entire Directory would be available for them to use. It takes about five minutes to reach any destination in the Directory using the ITH.

Edit2: After adding the 37 members of the DSTS to the current total (61) we have access to about 98 nations.

EDIT3: OH has been ill and when he is feeling better he will change the wording. He admitted choosing the wrong words while being feverish. He did not want anyone advertising their competing systems.

The Empire of Balrogga would like to announce a cheap alternative to coal power plants, hydro-electric dams, and nuclear power plants.

We have established a network of solar collectors in a near orbit of Sol. The power is transmitted to the SOLAR station located at the Polar Lagrange point of Sol using microwave lasers. The energy collected is in turn transmitted to its sister station located at the Polar Lagrange point of Earth. From here power is transmitted through another network of relay satellites to ground based receiving station. The power is then sent through the power grid to where it is needed most.

There are three basic receiving stations that can be built.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/dishb.jpg
The first consists of a single receiving dish approximately 100 foot (30.5m) diameter that allows the reception of 1 Terawatt power. This is many times the output of a modern nuclear reactor. Price: about 5 million to build and 10% to maintain at peak efficiency.


http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/disha.jpg
This is the arranging of several single dishes into a wide array. The price and maintenance depends upon the number you construct.


http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/dishc.jpg
This is the grand daddy of dishes. It is 1000 ft (305m) across. This dish can only be constructed in a carefully excavated site. The dish is actually suspended about 20 ft (3m) from the ground underneath. Four towers support the platform about 300 feet above the face of the dish. This configuration is capable of receiving 1200Tw transmissions. It costs 100 million to build and roughly 5 million a year to maintain.


Each nation who is interested has the option of either building the receiving station themselves (via blueprints I will send) or we can construct it for you (for a 10% fee). After the site is finished I will place a satellite above the station to relay the power to the station.

I know many nations are leery of anything above their territories. I invite any who are interested to view the construction of their satellite to be sure there are no spy packages or weaponry attached. The appointed delegate will also have the option to remain with the equipment until it is sent into orbit.

What is the cost of the transmission? $1 Million per Terawatt per month. This is easily less than 1% what most high efficiency power plants cost. Each month would only cost you $1 million for 200 times what your power plants can produce.

When you order, please specify the amount of Terawatt service you need. I only accept yearly contracts.

I am not offering "solar panels” I have a shroud of solar collectors in orbit between Sol and the planet Mercury. This system can be set up in any system the buyer wishes. I will retain ownership of all property in space while the customer will own all ground equiptment.

This is how I set up the Sol System:

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/scollect.jpg http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/orbit.jpg

Over the years I have had a couple factories producing them and placing them into orbit, shrouding the sun with collectors. Please note, this does not effect the ammount of solar energy that would fall upon the planetary plane. I keep them from that area to prevent any problems. I harvest the sunlight that would be wasted into empty space above and below the planetary plane.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/mobile_factory.jpg http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/E020517.jpg

The satellites are using a Space Minus Tap to "beam" the power to the SOLAR Stations in a Polar Orbit above and below the sun.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/satelite1.jpg http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/SOLAR_relay_station.jpg

The power is being transmitted to a simular station in orbit above the Earth's pole and then relayed to my customers. The dishes are for receiving the transfer.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/Terra_10.jpg http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/satelite.png

If you already use "solar panels" and they are ground based or in the orbit of the planet, then by sheer proximity, one of my Solar Satellite Collectors would outperform yours because of the Magnetosphere of the planet will filter out a majority of the solar energy.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/sphere5x3.jpg http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v248/beldragos/magnetosphere.jpg

If you placed them outside the Magnetosphere, then accept my congratulations. Most people would not think of this.

The advantage of the Space Minus Tap is there is no loss in power and there are not any nasty beams of energy to stear clear of in space. There is just the transfer from the orbital facility to the ground facility that traffic would need to be kept clear.

This is the same system I use for my own colonies and on Sol with the exception of the dish. I use ground based Space Minus Taps. They are a military secret so I cannot use them commercially.

The system is completely automated and I will provide the crew needed to do the monthly maintainence. An AI controls all aspects of the system with redundant backups in place.

The Republican Senate has finally made a decision regarding the ITH. We will join and ask that you "dial in" these destinations:

Harvest in the Green System
Extent and Growth in the Maruchan System
Beta Welch Moons in the Welch System
Reach in the Bias System
Halo in the Threshold System

We ask that all ships entering these systems be inserted at least 20 AUs from the planet's orbit, because a significant naval fleet is on the outskirts of all of these systems for our own domestic testing of vessels. We've had contraband problems recently. Don't worry about the vessels moving in system, we have other means of FTL travel.

High Father
Office of High Father
The Glorious Republic of Leafanistan

Greetings from the ITH.

In your request we noticed you were asking for the Local Gates to be placrd at least 20 AUs from your worlds. We would like to point out Guideline #2 stating we will not place any wormholes within a solar system in order to preserve the security of said system. We feel this was just an oversight. We will add you to the Directory and the systems you indicated will be listed as your destinations. Within an hour, a Local Gate will be established on the edge of each solar system and we will send through a Gatestation to control access and to collect the tolls.

Subject: Joining the Intergalactic Trade Hub

The Serene Death is considering joining the hub to expand trading and commerce in our nation. However, we have a few questions and concerns to ask about before we join. Afterwords, if what we find is acceptable, we will join and have a local gate installed in one of our systems.

First and formost, you have mentioned that using the system as a weapon, sending warships through it, or sending troops through is prohibited and a violation of the terms of use. However you never mentioned if arms or weapons trafficing was prohibited. Our nation produces and exports large amounts of weaponry, including arms and armor for civilian use (home and personal defense). Is this something that would be stopped from entering?

Secondly, over a third of all merchant ships from our nation are owned by the government. These ships are armed merchantships. They have defensive weaponry that is considered to be of a military class by many nations. Some even carry capital class weaponry. This is to ensure total defense of our trade ships as well as being able to use these ships in war time as light military craft. Will these ships be allowed to enter through the gate?

We await your reply,

Faith Shiomi
Dominar of Commerce and Trade
The Armed Republic of the Serene Death

We would like to add the Yain, Accoraleb, Interflab, and Horadinas systems. Thank you for your cooperation.

Chie Minister of The Grand Democratic Duchy of Yafor 2.

From: Ascendancy Trade Council
To: Intergalactic Trade Hub Managment

Be advised that while we have not forgotten about the wormhole hubs, extrodinary circumstances have forced us to concentrate on other matters first. The movement of our empire over seven hundred million light-years, as well as the vast conflicts were are engaged in, have caused us to divert attention away from the trade network to ensure security.

However, do note that despite the lenghtier size of the tunnels we hold, we still intend to continue the network, as well as the bounty that it will reap for both sides of the equation.

Do note that trade partners that use this network, are at risk currently of entering a war zone, until such a time that the Dark Eternals are removed from our Supercluster.

Serene Death:

First Question is easy. If the weapons, armor, and other stuff is disassembled, no power, and packed in shipping crates it is just normal cargo. Fighters would be disassembled and crated up. Amunition would be packed in sealed crates (the usual method for anyone, right?). I suggest Bombs should be diffused for your crews safety and power cores unpowered. Common sense things.

The second question I would have to consult my Partner. I work insane hours on weekends so I do not know when I will see him online. Please be patient. We both have dedicated an entire fleet for the safety of our customers. The ships are clearly marked and are also available for escorts duty if you think you need them. I am not sure if that is a chargable extra or not. Outer Heaven and I have not discussed it yet.



Yafor 2:

I will add your destinations to the Directory. In the main post I stated if there are not any destinations listed for a nation, all civilian worlds are open for trade, otherwise trade is limited to the listed systems (or something to that degree). I will limit the access to those worlds for you after posting this.



Gaian Ascendancy:

Thank you for warning the other member of any possible diffaculties. The Gatesttions are sifficiently armed and they have the ability to seal the Local Gates. If this happens we can divert incomming traffic to ensure the customer's safety. We only need five minutes to be sure any incomming traffic is cleared. Any trade ships that are near the Local Gate can enter it before the closing of the Local Gate. We would send some of the ITH Patrol Vessels to ensure the safe evacuation of the members and the safe closing and the removal of the Local Gate. As soon as it was safe again, the facilities would reopen.

If we do join this hub all weaponry will be shipped disassembled (usually is assembled without ammo or power loaded). Yes we do keep bombs, rockets and missles deactivated for transport and ammunition is sealed to prevent any mishaps.

During peacetime these armed merchantships have most of their weapons removed from their turrets. The problem with the ships is that in war time they become warships. A certain ammount of weapons (usually around half) are kept on the ships to allow them to be quickly converted to a wartime setting. Several of the largest transports are the size of destroyers and have turbolaser defenses even when just delivering cargo.

I spoke to Balrogga about the issue of weapons on transports, and they are allowed for defence only. Military ships aren't allowed in the system, so arming your cargo and freight ships is a good idea. I have two distinct types of weaponry, with differing classes of each for civil and military use

I am giving everyone the same equal chance to prove they can handle the responsibility of self governing their usage. If I get word of abuse, I will investigate and announce my findings while they are put on probation. So far, I have not had to resort to these extreme measures.

The Balrogga Empire offers a new service to all members of the ITH. We have recently constructed a fleet of luxury cruise ships and will have them circulate among the member’s systems.

We will use the listing in the directory and rotate a fleet of 26 ultimate luxury liners through the directory listings. We will visit each system for a week, allowing the tourist time to explore the wonders of each system or to relax aboard the AAA+ accommodations.

Tickets can be purchased at any Gatestation and transport into the system will be using local services. There are rates from Economy to Emperor on each vessel so just about anyone can now afford to travel the Universe. The liner will not enter the system, only visit the edge.

OOC:

This is basically a plot device I am offering to allow you to have your citizens traveling around the member nations and to boost tourism for everyone. Just assume people are using the service.

At the request of the Kanuckistani Merchants' Association, we would like to make a number of inquiories.


Principally, how you differentiate a warship from an armed merchantman? Our merchant marine typicly runs quite heavily armed - usually utalising military surplus munitions, raider-like shuttles, drone fighter-banks, embarked manned-fighter escorts, etc. - in order to disuade world-be pirates or forgine military officers of... questionible morality and judgment.

While we acknowledge that all ITH systems are likly free of these, this does not address the safty of vessels making follow-on transits to systems not connected by the ITH network.


Secondly, when transporting arms, many products cannot be readily disassembled for shipment - most forms of ammunition, missiles, and other forms of ordinance, as well as many armoured combat vehicles and strikecraft, cannot be disassembled for transport while still remaining commercially viable products for ITH transit; indeed, in many cases, you could not do so without doing serious damage - a Mare Crisium missile, for example, is almost entirly solid-state. This is also an issue when it comes to crew arms and armed utility craft. What, exactly, are your regulations in these matters?


Further more, do you forbid the use of this network by vessels owned by those of non-member citizenship? If so, why? They would be paying the same fees as those owned by citizens of member-states, and would in most cases be conducting trade in the territories of members, to the benifit of said members. The matter bocomes complicated when you consider multi- and extra-national corperate interests.


Finally, we requior a final ruling regaurding the possible prohibition of member states advertising their own FTL technologies outside this 'thread', as we have not seen one issued thusfar; attempting to shut down one aspect of a nation's ecconomy, in areas beyond the scope of the ITH, is, we feel, an unreasonible demand, and directly contridictory to the ITH's nominal purpose - indeed, we can see no possible reason for such, save trying to foster economic dependency for future exploitation.

And I will anwser them.

We can differenciate mainly by whether the ship is carrying cargo or not. Either way, the ITH prohibits actively armed craft from going through the ITH. We appreciate that some ships prefer arnaments, but to use the ITH system, they are required to be powered down, and if possible, removed.

Secondly, for weaponry, ammunition etc., those that cannot be dissasembled are required to be securely packaged and deactivated at all times. Traders must also declare if they have non-dissasembled war materiél. We do of course also scan ships before they enter the ITH, to ensure that ships aren't carrying non-declared war materiél, and that the war materiél is either dissasembled or as I said before, securely packaged and deactivated at all times.


I can now see you haven't read the first page in this topic. We don't forbid other non-member nations using the ITH, member nations are merely nations that are connected to the ITH, because they want trade to come to them. We do already have a Gatestation near to Earth, meaning that many nations are already able to use the ITH. Nations that aren't near a Gatestation and don't wish to become a member aren't denied the usage of the ITH, they merely have a hard time travelling to the nearest gate.

This has been a matter of much confusion, and I will state the rule quite clearly, now. Member nation's aren't prohibited from advertising their own FTL tech outside the thread (as long as they also advertise this), however, inside the thread, advertising of FTL tech isn't really allowed. The ITH thread is supposed to focus on the ITH, and we don't want our users to be distracted by other FTL systems. This also goes for non-member nations. So, you can advertise your FTL tech outside the ITH thread, but not inside.

I hope this has cleared up some of your misconceptions.

Lord Yorrik,
Head of Transportation,
The Outer Heaven MK II Transport Board,

Salutations;

There are several issues remaining; first is, simply, a request for clarification; by 'if possible, removed', did you mean physicly possible, or rather, if one was at all willing to do so?


Regaurding arms, do you requior total deactivation? This is principally an issue regaurding maintaince-cycles, volitiles-containment, and the ilk; for example, the neutronium superfluid fuel system in a Hawking MEC warhead or a missile's powerplant usually utalises active containment.


With respect to non-member useage of the system, I had the specific documentation which aroused this point; it is included below.

The use of the ITH for any military purposes by member nations is prohibited. The attempted use of the ITH by non-member nations will result in the intruding vessels being diverted and or destroyed.


As you can see, there is rather decisivly conflicting coming out of the ITH admisistration.


Finally, as for the requiorment that one "also advertise [the ITH]," are you reffering to the existing requiorment for a 'sig link'?

Bob McBob
Minister Bob McBob,

Greetings;

First off, yes, when I said 'if possible, removed', I did mean physically. It's up to the nation whether it wants to have a stripped down class of transport, but we prefer weaponless ships going through the ITH.

Yes, we do require total deactivation, so that the weapons cannot be used immediately if one desires to try to. If War Materiél cannot be dismantled, or securely packaged and dismantled, then it's simple. We don't let it go through. The ITH is trying to promote regular trade. However, we understand some nation's economy relies on selling the War Materiél (Ours for instance), And so we allow trade of War Materiél, just as long as it abides by the options it is given.

I can see what's happened here, and it's my fault. Sorry. The ITH is a private system. It was never made to service the general public, for the simple reason that we don't want just anyone using it. For instance, if a member mis-behaves, say, by smuggling missiles into the ITH (By, lets say, loading them in with other things like food), then the ITH Police will intercept the vessel in question. Then two things will happen. Either the vessel will surrender itself, and the Police make a report, or the vessel gets destroyed for not co-operating with the law.

Afterward (Regardless of the outcome), the nation that is responsible for that particular vessel is punished, most probably by prohabition. Members on Probationary Status will have all ships searched by hand, instead of the typical scan. This would result in longer delays and increases usage fees. And we can tell which vessels belongs to the nation in question either by IFF transponder frequency, or the readings of their power source (which is also taken by the scan. Any further violation will result in being removed from the directory, resulting in a loss of monitary gains to your economy the ITH provided. You also have to become a member because you are required to follow the rules of the ITH. If we let non-members through, they haven't agreed to the terms and conditions, so they are then not binded to follow the rules.

The membership requirement is mainly for easy-cataloguing (Refer to the above paragraph), security, and to ensure that the people using the system agree to the terms and conditions we've presented them with.

Finally, yes, I do mean via the signiture. So basically, nations that are part of the ITH are allowed to advertise their own FTL tech outside the thread if they advertise the ITH as well. However, seeing as they already are by having the link to the ITH in their signiture, it requires no real effort on the part of the member nation.

I hope this again has been helpful to you.

Lord Yorrik,

Official Communiqué from the Ministry of Trade

Salutations;

Upon review, I belive that we will not be requesting addition to the catalog and a specific gate at this time; few enough amoung our private merchant marine have expressed a willingness to dispose of their armament that the net economic impact would likly be a negative one.

This does, however, seem to be a turn around from your organization's earlier stance regaurding armed merchantmen.


Your 'clairified' stace upon non-member use also apears to be a complete turn around; on the one hand, it's repeatedly stated that non-member Sol nations can use the system because of the Sol gate, but on the other, you say that non-member nations are prohibited, aparently because they haven't agreed to the terms and conditions. This utterly ignores the fact that private and corperate entities are not their governments.

Frankly just querying each vessel regaurding their agreement to comply with your regulations would seem a much more logical course of action, as you have to arrange for their payment of the toll anyway.

My interest in this stems from both a desire to resolve the aparent contridictory aspect of ITH policy, and from the fact that the Dominion posesses some holdings in Sol system.

*massages temples*

-Sigh-

I go away to work a few double shifts over the weekend and stuff flies apart.

First, my intentions for this Thread are:


Show there are other options to big projects than military or war.
Provide an alternative method of commercial travel.
A plot device for others to use to be in different places either aboard the many merchant ships or the cruise line I opened for passenger travel.




Second, the exclusion of military ships is to keep others from using this to attack each other. The scan is to discover any attempt to sneak them through. The diversion you mentioned is for those military vessels that try.

The ITH may not be used to transport military vessels for any reason. This is for intergalactic trade only. The ITH will not be used as a weapon of any sort. Guidelines One and Two clearly states this.

If you attempt to sneak them through, the scan will reveal the ship as a warship (the reason for the scan). The ships also will not be navigated through the Hub, resulting in them being sent to an unknown location where the police force would be waiting. It would also get your status reduced to Probationary.

Third, any and all weapons aboard the ships have to be defensive (flack, point defense lasers, ect…), other than cargo. Dangerous cargo must be secured so they are not a danger to other ships or the ITH system. I do not want any members to be defenseless but I will not permit any functional offensive or ridiculously defensive arrays. Nothing that can be classified as a military systems (both offensive or defensive) for any nation you encounter will be permitted. The only exception for this rule is the ITH Police Fleet safeguarding the system. You could always use the ITH as a way for others to come to you instead of you going to them, like a trading station your ships will meet at instead of entering the gate yourself. Create a Deep Space Nine and let everyone come to you.

Fourth, anyone who pays for access to the system can use it. If you don’t want a Local Gate near you for others to use then they will not go to your markets. I admit there are mostly nations who have applied to be listed in the directory and a local gate established (a free service) with a Gatestation crewed (again at my expense). In addition to the many nations there is at least one corporation (Gadget Corp) and two trade organizations (Deep Space Trading Station and The Federation Trade Union). Membership is not only limited to Nations. The benefit of membership is the nearness to the Local Gate. I considered charging different rates for members and non-members but instead decided upon a flat 100 Credit fee for fairness.

Fifth, the request of placing a link in the Sig is so other members can recognize you and trade with you without needing to go through the list. The secondary motive (honestly) is for advertisement of the ITH Thread. The more members, the greater the trade.

The Sol Gate was established because so many of the FT nations have residence there, including myself.

My ultimate hope for this is to allow as many chances as possible for interaction between the many FT nations on NS. So far I have attracted over 100 members. If you don’t want to join then I am not going to force you. I just cannot bend the rules for one without having to do the same for everyone else too, again in fairness to everyone else.

I don't want to argue, only provide a resource to other people so more Role-Playing can be done.

Tannenmille:

The planetary Systems (I assume they are seperate systems as I will not place a wormhole within any system for security of that system) of Sucello, Mone, Dororsym, Lusion, List, Eneurily, and Delucnusil.

Within an hour, each will have their own Local Gate and a Gatestation established. You are welcome to place trade stations or security methods of your choice. We only ask no structure be closer than 50 Kilometers so as not to impede travel.

I personally welcome you to the ITH. Don't forget to identify yourself as a member by placing a link in your sig. It will allow others to recognize your membership and know thay can get their trade good cheaper from you than other non-members.

-snip-

OOC: Actually, sorry for not making this clear, but the planets are in three separate systems:

Sucello - Sucellan System
Mone and Dulecnusil - Belenosian System
Dororsym, Eneurily, List, Lusion - Antraeolian System [Trade Centre system]

NOTE: The wormholes cannot be placed inside systems, if you read the terms and conditions of joining the ITH. They are placed outside the system boundry, and then ships can proceed into the system with their cargo. With that, they can then vist any of the planets.

Relax; I was proceeding entirly ICly. You wanted to create an RP resource? I used it, and RP'd a bit of correspondence as my nation's government decided what stance to take on the issue. :p

Although, I'd classify 'not being able to shoot back' as pretty much the same as 'defencless'; an important consideration when one is using the system to get -near- a destination, rather than for direct transit. Afterall, if you can't hope to hurt even a light warship, you aren't going to disuade most pirates.

Your nation has been added to the Directory as a general listing for your nation


IC:


At the edge of the newly listed systems, a single wormhole appeared. A structure emerged and took its place right outside it.

A message was relayed to the local goverment:

Greeting from the ITH. We would like to welcome you to the Intergalactic Trade Hub. Your Local Gate has been established and the Gatestation is currently under construction. In about one Standard Hour the Stationgate will become opporational. You will then be able to contact other members to establish trade. I hope your nations profits from this endevor. Remember the prohibition of military vessels.

A structure was quickly assembled to enclose the Local Gate, providing a way to shutter the opening in case someone tried to use it to access the system with dubious intentions. After about an hour, the Local Gate opened for business.


OOC:

Don't forget to place a link in your sig so other members will notice your membership and can trade with you. Also send others who might be interested in joining along to this Thread.

Thanks.

OOC: i use a trans warp conduit to transport my fleet over most of the galaxy the rest is covered by warp/ or hyper drive

I only want access to a moon of the 9th planet of the prates system (I will leave a hole open in my defences to accommodate this but I will also place automated fighters at various points to act as warning to bring the fleet out.

2) All wormholes will appear outside the target system, never within it. This is to ensure the security of the target system is not breached. Again, this will not be used as a weapon.

As stated above, there will be no worm holes within any system. You will have to provide your local security as the ITH will only allow the commercial traffic as far as the edge of your system. Some nations constructed trade stations near the Gatestation to be sure of their own security. You might want to look into that option.

I will change your listing to reflect your only allowed system of Prates.

I hope this clears everything up.

*transmission from warp(translated)*

So i see you have found a primitave way of bending matter? creating holes in the outer black?primitive, but effective, though our people have yet to grasp space flight, we have found other methods of inter-galactic transport, through our extensive sub-space slipstreams we have been able to send probs outward, hence our contacting you, though due to the unstable nature of our system no "worm-holes" as you call them can be established near. however we are still willing to help you perfect this woundrous technology, and lend you our resources, request you begin consturction of an embassy at transmitted co-ordinates so that we may... better... our ambassadorial plans *transmission out, co-ordinates transmitted detal a small asteroid several hundred stanard miles away from the furthest reaches of the aformention system*

As stated above, there will be no worm holes within any system. You will have to provide your local security as the ITH will only allow the commercial traffic as far as the edge of your system. Some nations constructed trade stations near the Gate station to be sure of their own security. You might want to look into that option.

I will change your listing to reflect your only allowed system of Prates.

I hope this clears everything up.

i meant outside because i stated that i would leave a gap in my satellite system

OOC:

From a strategic point of vies, it would be better to establish in-system trade route between the Gatestation and your moon. Leaving gaps in your defence for trade is just asking for some nation to use them to invade. Run every trade ship through your sensors to determine their threat level. Don't take any chances.

The only military ships that will come through the ITH are the ones Outer Heaven and Balroggs have dedicated to defending the ITH. They are all clearly marked so they cannot be mistaken.

Any military vessel attempting to use the ITH will be diverted to an out of the way system, riddled with singularities (black holes), or even both. That does not mean the other nations would not try to use civilian trade vessels to infiltrate your system no matter what we try to do to stop them. That is why I will not place one of the Gatestations within a system. You would still be able to use your own defences if they tried something like this.

If anyone ever tries this, I have asked to be notified immediately. I cannot track all the trade posts done by 120 members so I have asked for the member's help in this matter.

Hopefully you will profit from this venture. At the very least you should get some preferential treatment from some of the other members because they know they can ship anything to you real cheap. That is the reason I ask members to identify themselves in their sigs with a link to the first posting of this Thread.

Vaerinor:

We would be interested in looking over your proposal. Please TG the details to Balrogga. I will forward them to my Partner and we will discuss them to see if your suggestions are viable with the current system. As soon as Outer Heaven and myself are finished reviewing them, we will TG you our decision and any details how things could/could not be implemented.

Currently the ITH serves all coordinates in this Universe, as well as other Parallel Universes. The system has become Multiverse-wide and will allow free trade between them.

We look forward to the arrival of your Telegram.

This is a warning sent out to all nations who have had contact with the Balrogga Empire.

Usually it is not wise to take stock in premonitions. They show what might occur in the future and are usually only to be used as a guideline to govern your actions. Lately many of our citizens skilled in Precognition have had visions. These visions all have the same events within them but are from the Seers point of view. So far we have had over 230,000 of these Visions, far outstripping the use of precaution associated with a single premonition.

The Vision shows great change within the Empire, and betrayal of us by some of our closest allies. Even our great Emperor has had one of these Visions.

It is because of the turmoil predicted by the Vision, backed up by actual events happening as we write this message; we felt it prudent to warn all those we know of this so none would get caught up in the upcoming changes. We would not want to cause harm in any of your nations.

Because of this, we ask all those who have Embassies to consider removing them until this time has passed. We will not be insulted in any manner. You are allowed to keep your Embassy if you wish but we cannot be held accountable to anything that might happen to it. We are concerned for the safety of your staff.

We sincerely hope you understand our precautions and wish you to remain outside any possible conflict so you would not get hurt. We do not know the outcome of the events that are to pass but when they are done, we will welcome you back with open arms.

Trade will be restricted to the following systems, as the Directory will reflect:

Earth
Prospero


An Imperial trade Station will be set up and a Gatestation will be tied to it's location. The Threshold System will also be open for access to the ITH. The ITH will continue to be run as a Neutral Entity seperate from the Empire.

Nhur-Galladu

Snake Eaters would like to announce that it is currently embroiled in civil war. As a result, all exterior trade routes have been cut for the time being. Do not attempt to access Snake systems, or you will be fired upon.

Lord President Damien Constantine.

The ITH understands and will place a Block upon your Directory Listing. We will retain the Block until a Represenitive from the surviving goverment of Snake Eaters contacts us.

The ITH wishes to remain Neutral in this matter and we also wish you all the luck you will need for the sake of your people.

Snake Eaters has stated that it took charge of Hoeth not as a territory, but to protect it should anything happen, and to give it a sponsor for trade.

Kaymiril is now willing to take on this responsibility.

Valsharess Kaymiril VII.

I made the changes to your Entries reflecting this change.

No Endorse, by far and away satisfied with the security and wealth provided by our Haven gate, would like to add another one near the Sanctuary system.

Due to the fact that this system is also the capital of the Inferno, there will be a small fleet detatchment sent to ensure the security of the gate in the event of an attack on the system. They are there to allow any onboard personell and any refugees the chance to get out before the hammer falls. We will also be allocating a detatchment for the gate in the Haven system. Unless of course you would wish us not take these measures.

Also, we have a question. What is your stance on evacuations during invasions? Could a nation in the ITH go in and rescue some of a nation's civilians if it is being invaded by using these gates and be under diplomatic protection from the ITH? Or would that be too much of an entrance into warfare/local politics for the Hub?

The Sanctuary System has been added to your Directory listing.

The ITH has no problem with whatever security precautions you feel are necessary. We provide safe transport from Gate to Gate. The members are welcome to provide their own security as long as it does not impede normal traffic into and out of the Local Gate.

The answer to your question as to evacuation of personal depends upon the ships being used to move said personal. If they are armed transports, then they would be classified as military ships. If they are not armed, they would not be classified as such. If you were to use your military vessels to escort some commandeered civilian cruise ships (please leave mine alone - hehehe) to the Local Gate then the evacuation would be acceptable.

If such a maneuver were to be attempted, a courtesy transmission would be appreciated so not only could we ensure we have ITH Police Vessels on location to ensure the safety of our customers but so we do not take anybody’s actions wrongly by mistake.

The safety zone we have been considering but not yet needed to enact is 10,000 meters. This allows plenty of space for entering, exiting, and ships on stand-by. This is by no means any attempt to usurp territory from any member nation, but a buffer zone we will allow the protection the ITH Police Fleet provides to overlap the territory of the member nation. Any ITH ships will be recalled at the member’s demands according to how the situation demands.



OOC:

I hope this has not only answered any questions but also given you several role playing ideas. If you wish to use this in a plot just TG me and I will role-play the ITH in any evacuation scenario.

Remember I have a cruise line set up traveling throughout the Directory. You could also arrange to book passage or lease an entire ship for a deligation if that interests you. There is a Thread somewhere about you can Search for.

If you see someone who might be interested, direct them to this Thread. You might benefit from getting some new trade partners.

Also, thanks for the *BUMP*.

Recently, the ITH has been brought to the notice of the Religious/Bureaucratic caste governing the Eternal Empire of Jordaxia. Given the potential benefits and economic reinvigouration such a system could bring, the Lao-tzu has decided to grant a request for Jordaxian access of the Sol Node of this hub, agreeing to all current conditions stipulated by the relevant authority. For your consideration in this matter, you are formally thanked by the caste.

Signed, the Lao-Tzu and Eternal Emperor of Jordaxia.

Re: Request for membership


Your request for membership into the Intergalactic Trade Hub is welcomed. We would be greatly pleased with the addition of your nation into our Directory. This would not only allow numerous other nations to have contact with you but also allow your civilian vessels contact with over a hundred other nations.

The use of the network of wormholes will allow you to visit other worlds without the need of expensive and bulky FTL drives. All you have to do is travel to the edge of the system, access the Local Gate, and you will be arriving at another system within ten Earth standard minutes. This will save you tremendously in the costs of design and construction of your ships.

Again we would like to remind you there are no military vessels allowed within the ITH. We have designed and dedicated an entire fleet of our own ships to act as the ITH Police. We will keep you safe while transporting through the network.

Again, we thank you for applying and would like the entire community to welcome our 120th member to the ITH.

To: Nhur-Galladu
From: Admiral Lance Bernard
Signal Origin: Outer Heaven Outpost 1, Tau Sigma System
Subject: ITH

With great respects from Outer Heaven,

I am Admiral Lance Bernard, Commander of the Third Royal Fleet Stationed at Outpost 1 in the Tau Sigma system. I have been asked personally by GA Anton Slavik personally to make you aware of our situation, which has been made broadcast, but so far, has fallen on deaf ears:

Outer Heaven's current Situation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=462376) - Alpha Alert Status (Critical)

This link will direct you to the broadcast beacon which is currently transmitting the mesage openly, and will explain the situation of our Nation. However, I ask of you to please respond to the situation through the beacon itself, rather than here. This saves me the task of retransmitting the message to my superiors.

You may have also notice this message was transmitted over the ITH Communications System, with only minimal encryption. This is because my superiors want any Nation that has a passable Intelligence Agency using the ITH to also see this message and the link, and respond to the situation via the beacon, and let others know.

I wish you well Nhur-Galladu, and my superiors wish to send their reassurances. My superiors ask that any convoys that wish to send their goods as usual to Outer Heaven head to Tau Sigma, and deliver the goods to the Outpost, where they will be delivered to Outer Heaven.

Yours Sincerely,

Admiral Lance Bernard,
Commander of the Royal Third Fleet and the Tau Sigma Outpost

Transmission ends.

From: Lord-President Barbarossa
To: The commandant of the ITH

Sir,

Sometime ago, you were informed that Snake Eaters had closed it's borders and was in a state of civil war. It has been many weeks since this conflict was ended, but we did not deem ourselves capable of maintaining a working relationship within the ITH until now. As such, I am making the request that our account be reactivated.

At the same time, we are also willing to resume duties in the Hoeth system. However, given that the Immortal Realm of Kaymiril is our closest ally, we wish to only take on part of our previous duties, as they have shown that they are more than capable of protecting the system.

Azaha would like to be on the catalogue

To: Lord-President Barbarossa
From: Admiral Lance Bernard

Greetings,

I am glad to hear that you are finally able to reopen your borders to trade. As soon as I can contact Nhur-Galladu, I'll let him know of your situation.

___________________________________________________________________

Azaha, you are more than welcome to join the ITH. But you need to state what systems you want open for trade, and that you have read and accepted the Terms and Conditions.

We would like to remove your current system listin and replace it with the following systems: Hunter, Nimbus, Tiber, Ares, Alldredge.

(Coordinates Enclosed)

Outer Heavens OOC:

I placed you on blocked by request status until you mention otherwise. I will type a response in the next couple days for your beacon thread. Sucks to not have internet connection at home...



Snake Eaters:

It is great to see your request. You have been in our thoughts much these past few years but we have done as you asked and not contacted you. Welcome back!



Flightopia:

Your catalog listing has been changed as you requested. We are pleased to see your usage of the ITH has increased from one system to several. I hope you benifit from this economically.



Azaha:

You have been added yo the Catalog as an open nation. If you wish to restrict access to any of your systems please supply a list of systems that are open to the other 120 members to trade with.

In the interests of economic expansion, the Entente formally requests a connection to this ITH. It will be limited, however, to the home system Valivarre, in order to ensure that Entente civil defence forces are able to regulate incoming and outgoing trade. This is by no means a condition established to allege a shortcoming or discrepancy in Balroggan security measures, it is for Entente Trade Administration record purposes only.

-Office of the Entente Foreign Affairs Directorate

Welcome to the ITH. Within an hour you will detect an anomaly outside the Valivarre system. This will be the ITH establishing the Local Gate so your security forces do not have to be worried. The Gatestation will then travel through the wormhole and it will set up shop.

Each nation may place whatever security they wish to guard against the possibility of invasion or piracy. We only ask you keep a 10 Kilometer sphere clear so normal traffic can have the proper access to enter or leave the Local Gate. There will also be the occasional ITH Police Vessel to enforce the safety of the customers. Please do not worry; they will not enter your space unless they are pursuing pirates. In such a case, you will be informed ASAP and most likely already be on location to stop them.

I certainly hope your membership will help your nation prosper.

The Chroli Empire would like to request a connection to the ITH in our home system of Chrolinii. It will be incredibly useful to us, as we will be able to trade without fitting expensive subspace drives to our cargo ships.

Palon Ioli, Minister of Galactic Affairs

Greetings Chroli and welcome to the Intergalactic Trade Hub. You are the 122nd member and your home system will be added to the directory.

We are pleased to see you understood the greatest advantage to using our system. The savings in the cost of expensive engines needed to get the merchandise to the markets.

Within an hour, a Local Gate will be established at the edge of your system and a Gatestation will be ready to begin business.

We ask you place a link in your signature so other members can easily identify you as afellow member. This would allow both you and them great savings in your dealings.

Again, thanks for your membership.


Within the perscribed hour a wormhole was opened at the edge of the Chrolinii system. Moments later the Gatestation emerged from the wormhole and set itself up. The apature of the wormhole was securely blocked by the forcefield to prevent unauthorized access to the system. The gatestation was open for business.

TAB"The Rowlan Star Republic would like to be added to the directory. Destination is New Dublin, at the stellar coordinates of XX,YY,ZZ."
TABThe preceeding was sent by courier boat to the Balroggans, signed by the Minister of Commerce, Minister of Foreign Relations, and signed and sealed by the President.

The ITH welcomes The Rowlan Star Republic. We will list you in the Directory as requested. The New Dublin System will be the sole destination. If you want other systems listed, please contact us. Your gate will be active within the hour.

The courier boat was the first to emerge from the newly establish gate, shortening it's return trip to ten minutes.

Remember to place a link in your sig. Thanks

Attention all ITH members:

The Balrogga Empire has declared a state of G’Than’Dehr against The Cassiopeia Galaxy, a nation that ruthlessly attacked one of our members, No Endorse.

We have moved ships from the ITH Patrol to safeguard the two Gatestations at Haven and at Sanctuary. They are very well protected so nothing should happen to them. Commercial traffic should be able to continue for those who still wish to attempt.

We have also moved in three fleets to drive the invaders away from the No Endorse territories. We are happy to report that due to several other nations stepping up to aid No Endorse, the invasion has been broken and The Cassiopeia Galaxy is in retreat.

The list of allies is impressive. They include Chronosia, Godular, Mini Miehm, New Dornalia, SeaQuest, Kyanges, and many other powers. Some of these allies are also members of the ITH.

We ask that all members steer clear of The Cassiopeia Galaxy for the time being. This is not a declaration of an embargo, but a request made so no civilian ships are to be caught in the battles that are sure to come when the invaders are chased home and dug out of their burrows.

G’Than’Dehr is a ritual that has been long with the Empire. It is a declaration of Genocidal War between two enemies. The challenger stated what they are going to do in the defender does not yield. If they decide to fight, it is to the death.

The Balrogga Empire issued the Challenge to the invaders and they laughed at it. Now only their deaths or ours will stop the war.

Again, we ask that our members remain out of harms way.

the sephrion empire would like to ad the aura fortfied system to thier list of destinations and sephrion prime is it posble for the gate to suraa be acessable vai asephrion prime

We can add the Aura system to your Directory listing as you asked but once a location is added to the Wormhole Network, all destinations can be accessed by any other destinations. I can certainly add your other destination to the Directory but you must understand any trade ship could access it from any other destination in the Directory.

Also, if you do not have individual systems listed then all civilian systems are to be considered accessable. Listing accessable systems limits all others from being accessed.

This means your Military Bases are not accessable seeing as there really would be no reason for a spice merchant to try selling pepper to the ultra-secret base. Supplies like that would be assumed to be shipped via military transports along with other supplies.

Waterhelper would like to be in this organization

You are most certainly welcome to the ITH. I will list you as a General Listing in the Directory. That will allow any trade merchants to visit any of your systems.

Within an hour a Local Gate will appear at the edge of each of your systems and a Gatestation will emerge. They will quickly set up and be open for business. You will be able to send any merchant traffic through the gate afterwards.

We only ask you to not attempt this for military usage. That would defeat the whole purpose of having a trade hub if we allowed military vessels to use it to get to our client's systems or others to get to yours.

We hope you have many prosperous negotiations because of your membership. You are the 124th member so far.


OOC:

Please place a link in your sig so others will know you are a member.

all civilian systems plus we would like some supply ships to the aura milltry bases via the ith

Leaving the directory entry as just your nation name should cover just that.

can the sephrions sytems be temproraly blocked the empire is at defcon 100 maxiumum wartime alert

As per your request, you have been placed on Restricted access. This means traffic to your directory listing is denied for all traffic except for the ITH Police Vessels (which allways has full access to the entire system) or the trade vessels you approve upon an individual basis.

This means any normal traffic to your system must get individual permission from you before they even get to enter the gate. Think of it as a road block where you can only allow certain ships in if you want.

Please contact us when you want your statis changed again.

Maldaathi would like to join this ITH WHD please. We would like to be connected via our Intergalactic Trade Station (ITS)

If you trade station is located outside a solar system, we cam plant out gatestation near it for easy access. If it is inside, we will have to observe the boundry line and place it at the edge of the system.

The Local Gate will be established and a Gatestation will be in place within the hour. If you desire, you can expand this to your other systems at your earliest convienance.

Please remember to observe the rule against military ships using the ITH. It is for civilian and unarmed traffic only.

Please welcome out 126th member to the ITH.
