United Earth Federation Mastered

Master files describe United Earth Federation as a living argument about civilization in deep space. Its public doctrine is lawful, but captains learn the private version through contracts, interdictions, and favors that never appear on station boards. The faction's technology, enemies, and preferred races form a social gravity well: get close enough and your ship routing, market choices, and combat assumptions begin to bend. Long-term reputation is therefore strategic memory. It records who answered your hails, who priced your repairs fairly, and who decided your silence was permission.
