Several of our ship-states are interested in moving from our home zone to other minor empires. "Why would we allow a ship-state in our empire when we would never allow a colony of that size to be established on one of our planets?" we hear you ask. Why? Because a ship-state, unlike a colony, is self sufficient and can easily be ordered to leave should relations with the Codoj empire become strained. "Well, alright, so we can get rid of them easily enough if we don't like them, but why would we want one in the first place?" we hear you ask. What does a ship-state offer? Just about anything! Ship-states can provide, among other things:
Every ship-state has its own specialties, so be sure to make your interests known to our diplomatic staff. In return for your hospitality, the ship-state(s) staying in your empire ask nothing but the opportunity to take a stray asteroid or two from your zone every year. Comets or other small bodies are also acceptable.
