Galactic Transport and Trade

Welcome to the home page of Galactic Transport and Trade, one of the oldest companies in the Capellan Periphery. The GTT is a part of the award-winning play-by-mail game Beyond the Stellar Empire, and is a player-run corporation.

We are ready and open for business. Please refer to the section to the left for additional information about the area that interests you.

The GTT, as the premier production corporation in the Periphery, has bonuses in the areas of factory production, repairbot usage, and stargate construction.

The current leadership of the GTT seeks to develop the company's infrastructure, both fixed and moveable, to regain Periphery market share. As such, the corporation does not expect to do much more than make substantial investments in the asset base for the foreseeable future.

Galactic Transport and Trade (GTT) announced today it has acquired virtually all of the assets of Empire Engineering and Manufacturing (EEM) in a cash deal. The EEM colonies Kriegerwerft, Dangup, New Essen Yards, Embassy Yards, Messalina, Starwirken, Eagle, and New Kiel Yards are now GTT colonies.

"No material change in operations is expected in the short term." stated GTT Chairman Andrew Carnegie. "Longer term, we are definately looking for expansion of trade and manufacturing in the Periphery. Our expectations are for more robust activity in the latter half of the year, and acquiring these assets will leverage our manufacturing capability to take advantage of this."

The Chairman added that interested TRN starcaptains should contact him about hauling runs as well as interest in exploring colony administration.

The Headquarters colony of the GTT, New Birmingham (3381), located on Petroom (sp sq 1738) in Newbian (2), is now offering the Improved Xfer ability for sale. This action requires 50 time units to complete, and the ship must have 3 transport modules, 1 main, 1 command, and 1 engine hull in the cargo section. Combine this ability with the also available 15 tu jump ability, and your starship spends more time goin' and less time showin'. Contact the Chairman for more information, including pricing.

(At present, FET vessels may not apply.)

The GTT is still interested in acquiring market reports, as well as exploration data from all areas of space. Scientific missions are available for sponsorship. Drop us a line. GTT vessels are still scouring the Periphery looking for trading opportunities at all known colonies. Please contact the Chairman to add your colony to the list. Alternatively, use the Broadcast Market (BM) order to add your colony's market report to the list of colonies that are available.
