After first contact in 2438, the [[UNE|U.N.E.]] quickly learned how complex negotiations with the Banu could be. Striking a trade agreement with the [[Banu Protectorate|Protectorate]] was not enough - to get access to individual systems required diplomatic delegates to strike separate bargains with everyone from a variety of planetary governing bodies, all the way down to navigational [[souli]] for map data. In addition, there was the problem that controlling bodies would dissolve only to be replaced by a new souli who had acquired the rights to bargain, starting the whole process over again. Even then, many systems were not eager to welcome Humans, wanting to limit the competition and control the flow of goods through their system and demanding extremely high recompense for the privilege. Persevering through all those complications and over several decades, the U.N.E. eventually achieved visiting rights to several systems such as [[Bacchus system|Bacchus]], [[Geddon system|Geddon]] and [[Kins system|Kins]].

History
After first contact in 2438, the U.N.E. quickly learned how complex negotiations with the Banu could be. Striking a trade agreement with the Protectorate was not enough - to get access to individual systems required diplomatic delegates to strike separate bargains with everyone from a variety of planetary governing bodies, all the way down to navigational souli for map data. In addition, there was the problem that controlling bodies would dissolve only to be replaced by a new souli who had acquired the rights to bargain, starting the whole process over again. Even then, many systems were not eager to welcome Humans, wanting to limit the competition and control the flow of goods through their system and demanding extremely high recompense for the privilege. Persevering through all those complications and over several decades, the U.N.E. eventually achieved visiting rights to several systems such as Bacchus, Geddon and Kins. However, this was not to be a continuing trend.
With the unfortunate circumstances related to first contact with the Xi'an and the terrible violence that came with the First Tevarin War, Humanity's outlook towards other species shifted. While existing Banu trade was tolerated, and even relied upon during resource-taxing wartime, the Empire's willingness to increase our xeno- relations dwindled to nonexistence with the start of the Messer Regime. It wasn't until the severe economic recession of the early 28th century that this new status quo changed.

After trying numerous other tactics to spur market growth, Imperator Messer VIII decided to take a different, more drastic approach. His theory was that if the UEE could further expand their trade markets, it would bring a new influx of credits that would act as a reset button for several important sectors.
