As a result of the [[Related Stories~Floating Factory Attack]], which took out a major producer of (:mtcf) Mass Transit Cargo Freighter in the [[Union]], rising prices became problematic for new economies. The Union adjusted by subsidising them for small member worlds, encompassed in the [[turn_17_subsidies_law]].

As it turned out, advantage was immediately taken by some member worlds, and [[Characters~Mathi-ey C'b'rton]] was forced to interfere. However, no evidence of foul play was found, and all parties involved were acquitted.

The subsidies are as of yet ongoing.
