Union Trade Lane Fort

Union Trade Lane Fort

Trade Lane Forts are usually operated by the United Stars Army and placed at along or nearby trade lanes and areas where a permanent Union military presence is desired.

Unlike the Union Fleet Space stations, Trade lane forts are not standardized and everything suitable is used and adapted (Due to the much smaller budget the Union Army gets)[1]

Utilized are asteroids, old Tiny Tim Freighters and space stations and surplus constructs of any kind suitable. Shown is the Union Lane Fort (ULF) ULF Nine Stars, a ULF made of an old Saran Space station[2]. This one floats near the 32 Colonies and provides security mostly against the occasional Shiss raiders, but also has a Fire Department Space Rescue detachment there.
