Description
With the maturing of the trade-lane and jump-gate construction markets, Universal Shipping has diversified to become the premier shipping company for high-risk, high-value cargoes such as diamonds, MOX, gold, silver, light arms, and luxury goods- and covert government or corporate shipments. Because of this, Universal Shipping is always looking for Freelancers to supplement their security forces, but only those with the best reputations and ships that are up to the job. Its tendency to haul high-value shipments has made Universal a preferred target for pirates, particularly Lane Hackers and Outcasts.
Rumor has it that Universal secretly supports the Xenos, but that rumor has never been proven.
