Universal Shipping is, true, a Libertonian company and many outside of the movement question our motivations in bringing down a fiery hell upon them as we would any Kishiro or Gateway transport. The casual reply is that they're as Libertonian as the LPI, but that hasn't stopped them from being the bane of our people.

Consumer goods shipped from Huntsville prisons make their way just as readily into the bellies of Universal shipping vessels as any others, synthfood products harvested by 'bots rather than a man's hands just the same. Their vessels return from Bretonian smelteries to deposit ores worked on by another man in another land to shave a pair of credits over what a Libertonian would rate here at home.

No, Universal is the same as any other belly feeding commercial entity, the Libertonian star on the sides of their hulls and their outposts floating in Manhattan orbit simply serve as stronger reminders that they're willing to work in the face of the suffering of their very home. The Kusarian, Rheinlander or Bretonian is simply working in their own best interests with which our government capitulates, but they're doing so to serve their own.

Universal shipping works with the full knowledge that they're twisting the dagger in the very heart of their own people. This I cannot abide.
