Overview

MASSTrans GLC just recently transformed itself from a local player around the Iron Stars in Gal 1 into a multigalactical cooperation by satisfying a rising demand for in-system transportation of cheap mass products, something free traders alone couldn't (and wouldn't, for food, textiles and minerals aren't where the fast money is) attend to.

With it's investments into various ship builders and on low tech agricultural worlds, the cooperation started to dominate the trade at the low end of the cargo spectrum. The corner stone of it's success are the freight trains, huge massive ships build for slow, but steady, transit through a given system and giving the people the things they need for survival, even on far off stations. Loading and unloading is done by a special, cheap, robot brain controlled ship, called MASSTrans C-Bot, that MASSTrans has stationed in all mayor stations in a given system, sometimes even on Rock Hermits... these c-bots are known to be badly maintained and sometimes even collide with the trains they try to unload.
