Open Market Interstellar Shipping - Contract Terminal

[Mithias]

ABOUT US​

Interstellar Shipping was a freight service that began nearly a millennia ago, usually operating out of the Tion Hegemony. In the last decade, the company came into some financial trouble and was on the cusp of bankruptcy. Conveniently (perhaps a bit too conveniently), Malicar and a group of private investors were there to make a buy offer on the company. With little choice, the executives of Interstellar Shipping sold the company.

In its five short years, Interstellar Shipping has become one of the galaxy’s leaders in supply chain and logistics services. The company takes pride in its ability to quickly and securely get cargo, small and large, across the galaxy. Every facet of the business is taken care of internally, even the security, transport shipbuilding, and storage. Interstellar Starship Technologies is the wholly-owned subsidiary that manufactures the ships and equipment to run the operations.

FAQ​

1. Why are the services of Interstellar Shipping sought throughout the galaxy?
Interstellar Shipping has been around for millennia and knows the business of logisitics. Once Owner Malicar Raith took over, Interstellar Shipping skyrocketed in its profits year after year. What is different about Interstellar Shipping is that they possess the fastest shipping fleet in the galaxy and they insure all their loads. Because of these two reasons, customers understand the value of their services. In addition, Interstellar Shipping is well-known for its "wartime deliveries", equipped to deliver their cargo loads in warzones across the galaxy.

2. Are there limits as to what Interstellar Shipping is able to ship?
Due to the wide range of shipping freighters of all sizes, there is no limit to what can be shipped all the way across the galaxy. Their state-of-the-art ships are designed to accommodate cargo loads of all shapes, sizes, and weights. The only limitation on their Intergalactic Freight Shipping services is that there is a minimum tonnage amount (100 tons).

Interstellar Shipping Terminology​

Load - one delivery utilizing a ship or a number of ships designated to transport goods from one destination to another
Standard - examples include manufactured parts, raw materials, furniture, beverages, non-refrigerated foods, building supplies, small consumer goods
Nonstandard: Bulky - examples include irregular-shaped containers, starfighter frames, prefabricated structures (small dome abodes)
Nonstandard: Handling - examples include live creatures, environment dependent items (refrigeration, heat lamps, etc), volatile ammunition (i.e. explosives), etc.
Nonstandard: Specialty - examples include precious gems, prototype technology, functioning weaponry, etc.
Tonnage - items are measured by tonnage. Here are a few examples of item weights:
1 ton - Blaster Rifles x 250
1 ton - Datapads x 1,300
2 tons - Speeder Bikes x 3
15 tons - X-Wing
30 tons - 40’ Standard Shipping Container (full of cargo)
60 tons - Gravtank
500 tons - Proton Torpedoes x 750

Tier Cost Per Ton (minimum load is 100 tons)​

Tier 1 – 25 credits/per hex
Tier 2 – 50 credits/per hex
Tier 3 – 75 credits/per hex
Tier 4 – 100 credits/per hex

EXAMPLE 1
500 tons of Durasteel from Coruscant to Ord Mantell (5 hexes)
Tier 1: 25 credits/ton x 500 tons = 12,500 credits
125,000 credits x 5 hexes = 62,500 credits
+10% No Hyperlane
TOTAL LOAD COST = 68,750 credits

EXAMPLE 2
10 X-Wings (150 tons) from Corellia to Delrakkin (21 hexes)
Tier 3 (Bulky and Specialty): 75 credits/ton x 150 tons = 11,250 credits
11,250 credits x 21 hexes = 236,250 credits
-20% Super-Hyperroute
TOTAL LOAD COST = 189,000 credits

EXAMPLE 3 (actual Interstellar Shipping example)
1000 tons of Proton Torpedoes (approximately 1500 units) from Taris to Mandalore, which was in a Hot Zone (2 Hexes)
*Interstellar Shipping provided ordinance to the Mandalorian Clans when defending against a Sith Empire invasion
Tier 3 (Handling and Specialty): 75 credits/ton x 1000 tons = 75,000
75,000 credits x 2 hexes = 150,000 credits
+5% No Hyperlane, +20% Hot Zone = +30%
TOTAL LOAD COST = 195,000 credits

REAL WORLD EXAMPLES: Cars weigh about 3 tons – transport cost is anywhere from $1000-$5000 for overseas transport and $5000-$40000 for air transport. Obviously, this cost would be significantly less if the cars are shipped in bulk. Another example is to have a shipping container shipped overseas from the USA to China—this would cost approximately $5,000, which can carry a maximum of 30 tons. So in US dollars, it could cost approximately $167/per ton to ship cargo from the US to China. This gives you an idea of the kind of money that is freight logistics!
