Founded in 2901 as a messenger company on Terra, ULMC has grown into a multibillion credit corporation by focusing clearly on the goal of enabling commerce around the ‘verse.

We have become the galaxy’s leading provider of secure, specialized transportation and logistics services. Every day, we manage the flow of goods, funds, and information in more than 100 systems and fringe space territories throughout the ‘verse.
Although strategic company decisions require in-house logistic functions to be operational, a tactical decision may use third party logistic companies in a sector or quadrant where internal transportation costs are high and cost benefits can be better managed by outsourcing. Palacios and Skunimatrix recognized the need of a unified solution for problems in supply chain management, manufacturing, shipping, and security early during the company formation. They knew that clients would not only need, but demand specialized solutions to remain competitive within their respective industries.
To ensure our uniqueness, we maintain an in-house staff of information runners, consultants, and logistical experts in addition to the usual array of explorers, pilots, security teams, and specialists. We train them to work with clients to determine comprehensive solutions.
With our ongoing strategic partnerships and aggressive market presence, our board of directors are committed to making ULMC the principle logistics-focused PMC for the galaxy by the year 2950.

The Goal of United Logistics & Military Corporation, “ULMC”, is to provide escort and strategic information services to the mercantile sector of the Star Citizen Persistent Universe. ULMC will be run as a for profit corporation in game with a defined structure of Investors, Authorized Agents, Agents, and Contractors with two business operating units as defined as:

In addition to these primary missions, pilots may elect to become reservists for ReddSquadron, the military arm of ReddFaction. As such they are required to meet all requirements for ReddSqaudron commitments.
Each member will be expected to meet a monthly “Minimum Economic Quota”. That is contribute through taxes or donations a defined sum of UEC to the organization. This monthly minimum can be met by playing in game or via purchase of UEC with real world money depending on the player’s preference.
We are defined as semi-casual. While in mission there will be a hierarchy/command structure. Pilots will be expected to know and understand advanced flight combat tactics. This means flying in formation, sticking with wingmen, understanding their role, using brevity, and executing their assigned role to the best of their ability. Mission Commanders will be expected to only commit to engagements forced upon them. Investors, Authorized Agents & Agents are all expected to meet the monthly economic quota. Additionally Investors agree to commit to regularly checking the Org page and to participate in a monthly board meeting to last no more than 30 minutes.
The Corporation shall have Four Tiers: Investors, Authorized Agents, Agents, and Contractors. All Investors, Authorized Agents, and Agents must keep hull insurance on all craft up to date. Company funds may not be used for this unless ships are owned by the corporation.

If an Investor should decide to leave the game or company, or the decision is made by majority vote of other board members to remove the investor, the investor shall be reimbursed the full investment amount of in game currency from the company treasury and thus the company buys their seat. As such, after 120 days, in the persistent universe, the company must hold enough funds in cash reserves to divest all members of ownership at anytime. Investors must give the company first rights to purchase their seat at their initial investment amount.
The company may then offer the seat for sale to existing Authorized Agents or Agents. Investors are subject to the same code of conduct as any other Agent.
While Investors are not entitled to any in game, or out of game, monetary compensation, they are entitled to issue a monthly dividend of in-game currency. The basis of this dividend will be based on the in game retained earnings. Please see Article II: Compensation & dispensatory information.

This will include brokering contracts, ensuring the company, employees, and contractors get paid as well as organizing tasking(missions). Management may have in-game monetary compensation as voted by the investors.
