Faction Description

The United Mole Enterprise is a faction that specializes in the engineering, manufacturing, and transportation of ship-based weapons and defense systems. UME is one of the first official factions in the Starbase universe as well as one of the original engineering & technology factions. They are also developers of moleNAV, a full autopilot system beyond simple waypoint-waypoint computers.

They sell primarily to larger, neutral factions and the Substrate Alliance but also sell to anyone that has enough credits and reputation. Factions will often buy already designed weapons, systems, and ships from UME, however, custom contracts for customizing previously developed systems or developing new systems are available with an added research and development cost. Systems are usually developed to be modular with standardized sizes to support most ships with the ability to add upgrades, updates, and extensions to the core device.

Their main mother-ship is The Mound which is a large carrier that acts as the UME HQ. Outsourcing primarily only includes mining and hauling as dedicated security, manufacturing, and development teams exist in UME. Trading is done usually with larger groups or factions that distribute goods directly to smaller groups. The United Mole Enterprise is a member of Substrate.

It will prevent unnecessary burning of fuel rods and will save you thousands of credits. Its like going from a truck to a Tesla. Also never worry about shutting your generators down again (it will for you)! MFE also only touches the generators so you still have full control over the fuel chamber limits so you can easily install manual overrides and off/on buttons.

The Council

The Council shall decide your fate.

The Great Mole Council is the group of leaders and decision-makers of the United Mole Enterprise. The members are chosen based on their abilities, dedication, and faithfulness to the Mole Party. The council currently consists of 5 moles which are directors of their chosen area. There are no elections, however, members are welcome to retire and the council shall choose the next member.
Voting and meetings occur in the council room located in The Mound or diplomat ship. A simple majority is used for most elections, however, the council has the ability to change the system if needed and agreed upon. The council votes on various topics such as foreign affairs, advertisement permission, punishments, and R&D decisions. They may summon persons to the room if needed.

If you have pressing matters or wish to bring up something important, one may call a council meeting by simply requesting one from a council member or director. This will have you and at least a few council members discuss the topic in the room. If needed, the council may delay the decision until all members are present at the next meeting.
While not a democracy, the mole council strives to bring justice, fairness, power, and wealth to the enterprise.
