I am transfering the Intergalactic Trade Hub from Jolt so it exists on these boards too. Please note, I run the ITH as a seperate entity from my nation but use the same account. No transfer of any funding occurs

The Balrogga Empire would like to officially announce the completion of a project that will establish the Empire as an Intergalactic Trade Hub.
We have undertaken a project that demanded a great deal of time and resources to develop the first programmable Worm Hole Device (WHD).
The Empire has taken a large number of unclaimed neutron stars and moved them to the Threshold System. We have arranged them so their gravitational influence acts as a lens to direct the other end of an artificial wormhole to just about any place in the known universe.
This means any Future Tech nation who wishes to use the WHD can get to any market to trade their goods. Using the WHD will cut time and expenditures to a minimum, ensuring a larger profit margin.
Any corporation who wishes to use the WHD will route their traffic to the Threshold System or any other system located within The Catalogue. The ships will be scanned and registered before the Nav Computer pilots the ships through the aperture of the wormhole.
The ITH will insist the following guidelines are followed:
1) There will be no commissions accepted to use the WHD against any star or planet. This is not a weapon.
2) All wormholes will appear outside the target system, never within it. This is to ensure the security of the target system is not breached. Again, this will not be used as a weapon.
3) All vessels must register and submit for a scan before they will be allowed to pass through the wormhole. The navigation will be done by a slave Nav Comp.
4) Records of the scan are kept for insurance purposes. They will be held for a period of 10 years before being deleted. They can only be viewed in person upon The Station, Threshold System.
5) There will be no fighting within 1 LY of the Threshold System. The ITH Police Force will be on site to ensure the peaceful passage of all craft. They will also protect ships from raiders within the Network and the boundries around the Gatestations.
6) Corporate and Government Accounts are welcome. The base cost per ship for usage of the WHD would be 100 Galactic Credits.
7) This service is open to any ships that are friendly to the ITH.
The ITH would like to compose a directory of nations who wish their worlds to be connected to this trade hub. All those interested, please contact the Empire and we will add your nation to the list.
Please note: If a nation is in the Directory, all worlds are open unless individual worlds are listed.

Thanks to The Sskiss, a Thread has been started showing Imports/Exports for some members. Please check out this link to list yours so other members can see what you want to buy and sell:
Imports/Exports
EDIT:
Please note:
The ITH may not be used to trasport military vessels for any reason. This is for intergalactic trade only. The ITH will not be used as a weapon of any sort. Guidelines One and Two clearly states this.
If you attempy to sneak them through, the scan will reveal the ship as a warship (the reason for the scan). The ships also will not be navigated through the Hub, resulting in them being sent to an unknown location where the police force would be waiting. It would also get your status reduced to Probationary.
Members on Probationary Status will have all ships searched by hand, instead of the typical scan. This would result in longer delays and increases usage fees. Any further violation will result in being removed from the directory, resulting in a loss of monitary gains to your economy the ITH provided.
Please do not try to use this for any military means.
If anyone see this being used for a military means please TG me immediately.

NOTE: The size of the Wormhole is variable so a fleet may pass through.
Edit:
We will both divert one of our ITH Police fleets to patrol the corridors of the Transfer Hub to safeguard the passage of the cargo vessels. We will also place transfer stations at the Local Gates to assist the passage of ships into the WHD and to collect the usage fee. The fees will be collected from the ships right before they enter the conduit via electronic transfer or physical coinage. All Gatestations are protected by at least a Police Firgate which will not leave the juristiction of the Gate Station except in emergency situation on a case by case basis.
The greatest advantage to this system is the ships no longer need expensive interstellar FTL engines to get from world to world. They only need to get to the edge of the system, enter the Aperture into the conduit and travel a few minutes before exiting outside the target system, and then travel in system to reach their ports.
In the event someone attacks the WHD, the Station will Uplift to T-Space and all the Neutron Stars will be spun from the safety of T-Space, turning them into pulsars. This would effectively eliminate any invasion force but it will shut down the whole system for a while until the device can be reset.[/quote]
