	Despite the best efforts of [[UESF\|Starfleet]] and the commercial interests of the slowly uniting planet, the interstellar transports of [[Earth]] suffered from an almost debilitating lack of speed. There was little point in competing against extraterrestrial freight operators on the swift delivery of high credit to mass ratio goods; Earth freighters would have to rely on ore hauling, or then seek their fortunes in the languid-paced long range commerce. However, commerce rights within [[Sol]] system were fiercely defended by the native operators and they certainly possessed the full technological means for this.
