This organization was established in [[1126]] in response to the need for unified authority in the lawless [[Promise Subsector/Rebellion|Promise]] subsector of [[Diaspora Sector|Diaspora]]. The six member worlds hope to push back the surrounding tides of anarchy, and to this end they maintain a credible fleet and retain a large number of [[starmerc]] units for eventualities. As an island of [[Outlands|Outland]] surrounded by [[Wilds]] areas, the UP is quite a powerhouse by subsector standards; in fact, it is one of the more powerful of Diaspora's independent polities. However, being the closest of these to the [[Solomani Confederation|Solomani Frontier]] is quite a handicap. Given its cash-poor circumstances, the UP government pays its [[starmerc]] contractors in trade when possible, in the form of starship maintenance and repair at Promise's TL13 yards. Since there are no class-A starports among the UP worlds, new starships in Promise Subsector come mostly from [[Remington (Di 1820) (world)|Remington]].

The UP fleet consists of six [[Gazelle class]] close escorts, ''Assurance'' (F-11). ''Covenant'' (F-l2), ''Oath'' (F-l3), ''Pledge'' (F-l4), ''Warrant'' (F-15) and ''Bond'' (F-16); six Sentry-class SDBs (one at each UP member world); four armed [[Type A2]] far traders; three [[Type T]] patrol cruisers; one armed [[Type Y]] yacht; one [[Type C]] mercenary cruiser; and a captured [[Type P]] corsair. Small craft include a dozen each of [[Termagant class|''Termagant'']] and [[Kestrel class|''Kestrel'']] class fighters, and 30-some pinnaces, ship's boats and cutters used for customs and inspection duties. An additional force of seven starmerc vessels, including [[Vigilante|''Vigilante'']], are kept on reserve status and are frequently hired for missions outside UP territory.

While small, this is a considerable force by post-Rebellion standards.
