Industrial Prosperity Union

== Overview of the Industrial Prosperity Union ==
The Industrial Prosperity Union is a galactic entity which focuses on the production of high quality materials at all costs. The sales of their high quality materials not only fund their war effort against the rest of the galaxy, but it fuels further production for technological development. All that matters is gaining the upper hand in the hyperspace wars. The IPU has even been known to install terrorist organizations in other systems to destabilize their galactic rivals.
This is the type of society where workers are literally worked to death. Inefficient workers are discarded and effective workers are milked for all they are worth. If a galactic race is seen as "perfect laborers" they will instantly be targeted for "employment." Employed races are essentially enslaved for the top executives at the Industrial Prosperity Union to use as they see fit.
