"To be a member of the LTS is a privilege, not an obligation!" - David Leroy

Overview

Description

Liberty Trade Shipping was founded in 819 A.S. by former employees of Interspace Commerce. They are affiliated to Interspace Commerce one of the biggest corporations in Liberty. However, in contrast with Interspace Commerce, Liberty Trade Shipping does not provide banking services. Their operations center around becoming a main provider of shipping services from Liberty to the houses of Bretonia and Kusari.

With this driving goal at the forefront, the headquarters of LTS was constructed in Kusari space. This has proven to be a successful venture for their growth. It is believed that LTS have the intention to build a new trade center in Bretonia in the not so distant future.

With their origins in the Republic of Liberty, Liberty Trade Shipping flies a fine line in the constant battle to avoid involvement in military conflicts between Bretonia and Kusari and to keep their reputation high with local authorities in these two houses.

David Leroy, the president of LTS, has a personal vision to convince local authorities in the four houses of Sirius to give more freedoms to all lawful traders, even in times of war. He based his attempt off an example by the Deep Trading Consortium, a group of Junkers which are now disbanded. Their attempt failed, however he believes the idea will succeed with backing contracts from major trade corporations.
