Tinker and Transport Information

---

Tinker and Transport is a community which originated as a cooperation among Junker scrap miners and Freelance traders.
After the first Base built in System Hudson near Cold Bay Depot was destroyed due to military intervention the group formed a legalized cooperation called Tinker&Transport soon to develop into a fully operating trade network.

A few of the Events so far may be found here.

Licensing information may be found here.

---

2. Faction primary goal : Trade with PremScrap,
   legalizing the trade and freeing it from "Junkers are dirty and untrustworthy" stigmata
   
3. Faction secondary goal : A better life for all.
   Humanitarian aid to those unfortunates in need of this, regardless of affiliation or historic background.
   
4. Faction tertiary goal : To aid against tyrrany and oppression, currently seen as royalist Gallia.
   Not liberty from tax or rules... Freedom to do the right thing on a personal bias.

<<<History of Tinker & Transport and timeline chart>>>

---

There are three layers of this civilian organization:
- junior and senior members
( pilots or captains representing whole crew groups )
- cooperative officers
( Foreman of the base , security officer , secretary of the Board of Trustees )
- The Board of Trustees
( Investors and Supporters not involved in day-to day buisness )

---

Rights and Priviledges :

---

Junior members are entitled to full docking rights at the Haven and are part of the everyday live of the scrap rig.
Also they may request startup help (section 2.1 and 2. 2 )
After at least 1 month of junior membership they can call a vote on their recieving senior status.
Vote is decided by the senior members.

Senior members have full voting right on decisions concerning docking rights and day to day buisness.

---

Cooperation offices and structure :

---

The Shareholders and Investors form a Board of Trustees not involved in the day - to day buisness of the Faction.
There are several Offices set up by the Cooperative Bord of Trustees.

There is no monthly fee or membership payment involved, the funds for these salarys and the Base itself stem from the accounts of the Investors. The board of Trustees itself is not a closed Institution and full Membership here is possible .

Income for the Board of Trustees and the group of Investors stems from scrapping or Trading. There is no difference between a not affiliated Guest with docking clearance, a affiliated Member of T&T/ or a Member of the Board of Trustees as far as availability of the Havens resources is concerned, although the Foreman may reserve a minnimum availability of any commodity traded at the Base for the use of a Board Member.

Quote:The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around an often winged staff. It is often mistakenly used as a symbol of medicine instead of the Rod of Asclepius, especially in the United States. The two-snake caduceus design has ancient and consistent associations with trade, eloquence, trickery, and negotiation. Tangential association of the caduceus with medicine has occurred through the ages, where it was sometimes associated with alchemy and wisdom.

Quote:It has been observed that the caduceus is particularly inappropriate for use as a medical symbol due to its long associations with the Greek god Hermes, who was patron of commerce and traders as well as thieves, liars, and gamblers.
“ As god of the high-road and the market-place Hermes was perhaps above all else the patron of commerce and the fat purse: as a corollary, he was the special protector of the traveling salesman. As spokesman for the gods, he not only brought peace on earth (occasionally even the peace of death), but his silver-tongued eloquence could always make the worse appear the better cause. From this latter point of view, would not his symbol be suitable for certain Congressmen, all medical quacks, book agents and purveyors of vacuum cleaners, rather than for the straight-thinking, straight-speaking therapeutist? As conductor of the dead to their subterranean abode, his emblem would seem more appropriate on a hearse than on a physician's car. ”
—Stuart L. Tyson, "The Caduceus", in The Scientific Monthly
