Trenton Outpost is the headquarters of Universal Shipping, one of the "Big Three" family of Liberty companies that also includes Ageira Technologies and Deep Space Engineering. Universal Shipping made its fortune by gambling on shipping silver from Colorado to California for use in terraforming Los Angeles, long before Jump Gates and Trade Lanes reduced the risk of transporting goods over such long distances. Universal then cemented its reputation as the premiere Liberty shipping company in 181 A.S. by signing a contract to handle all shipping between Ageira Technologies facilities and Deep Space Engineering construction sites.
It is often rumoured that Universal Shipping has made several clandestine deals with the Xenos, as vessels that carry both the Universal Shipping transponder and ident codes are always ignored by the Xenos. This is strenuously denied by the Universal's Executive Board, but nevertheless the rumours continue to persist, and Universal Shipping has never yet lost a vessel to the Xeno Terrorists.
