Security & Defense[edit]
The worlds of the Run are patrolled by naval forces from both the Trita Brotherhood and the Jurisdiction of Nadon. They defend their national territory, protect their state interests, suppress piracy, and ensure interstellar trade and commerce.
- Naval vessels may demand customs inspections.
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
High cargo capacity, low jump rating vessels move along the Run, carrying large amounts of goods and commodities between its member worlds.
Raw materials flow from the worlds of the Jurisdiction of Nadon and are transported to the manufacturing centers on Sadri and Trita, in the Trita Brotherhood. Technologically advanced Brotherhood-manufactured goods and commodities find eager markets on the worlds of the Jurisdiction.
Solomani Security keeps a close eye on activities along the Run to ensure the security of the Solomani State and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, while a few see it as an act of duty to help protect the Confederation and its interests.
