StarTC
Greetings to our fellow Elect! Those once far, now made near by the miracle of technology! We, the STAR RATS, are excited to welcome new partners to the Solar Trade Center!
StarTC is a conglomerate of trading routes connecting all regions and planets of Tekhum! But we can't do it alone, that's why we advise that all the honored Elect Regions begin construction on trading routes to the STAR RATS and Region 110 of the firmament.
Additional Information
A. The Honored Elect Territories build trade routes to the STAR RATS.
B. In return, they can trade treasure, artifacts, and technology through the trading post with all other connected Elect.
C. Additionally, they can access to other Additional Perks as shown below.
"But why connect to the STAR RATS instead of someone more immediately profitable?", you ask. The reasons are simple.
Compounding Value
Here at the Solar Trade Administrative Regions, we understand that our greatest value isn't ourselves, but the people we serve. And that's the key value offered by joining StarTC. Not just what we can offer but the ability to trade efficiently with regions across the solar system, buying and selling goods and services without burning time and the hassle of waste action.
Current Partners
| Partner | Route Status | Trade Opportunity |
| The Arkhive Æternal (ARK) | Active | Knowledge shared by the greatest library in the system. |
| The White Pawns | Active | Mercenaries for hire! |
| Fiorid Principality of Verdalfheim | Active | Trade with one of the most quickly growing countries in Sansar! |
| This could be you! |
If we as a system can unitedly choose one center of commerce, then trade will boom and connection will be simple. You won't have to worry about what complicated trail of trade routes are required to get your goods where they ought to go, or what you'll be charged to use those trade routes, and how many turns it will take. No! You will pass your trade to StarTC, and it will be forwarded directly where you want it to go! And that leads to our promise.
Our Promise
We, the STAR RATS, will ensure that any trade sent to us, intended for a recipient to which we have a trade route, will be forwarded immediately on the next turn. There will be no tolls, taxes, or tariffs implemented by the STAR RATS. We will always maintain non-actions to send trade to its desired location!
Any technology sent to the STAR RATS for the purpose of trading to select parties shall not be traded by STAR RATS to external parties not involved in the deal, unless STAR RATS later receive the technology again with a less restrictive trade license.
STAR RATS may only halt trade if STAR RATS holdings are directly attacked by an individual involved in the trade.
Investment
1. Economy Management
The STAR RATS will buy-out a trading post of a chosen region's desired resource and trade it to the merchant sector to keep it happy, eventually the STAR RATS will impress the Region's Merchants and manage them directly.
For individuals that can offer excellent trade opportunities to other customers, 1 treasure will be awarded for constructing a trade route. Due to slow early cash-flow, applications are currently limited.
These are only available at limited capacity, so reach out soon to see if you qualify.
Location
Region 110 on the Firmament acts as both the perfect land and space port. Located nearly in the middle of Tekhum, Sansar offers an excellent location as a center of trade!
Additional Perks
1. When possible, the Durats offer trade acceleration. Extra Treasure or traded Technology will sent early so commodities arrive for the next round.
2. Partners will have a trade route to a Pan-Tekhum Worker's and Trader's Union Base in Burtzlund.
3. As a fledgling economic powerhouse, over time STAR RATS Trade Routes will enjoy extensive Trading Post resource options for trade.
Expect these perks to be the first of many!
After reading this, I hope you're as excited about the opportunity lying in the Solar Trade Center as we are! We're excited to work with you and bring all the regions of Tekhum together!
