===Overview===
The rules or content here is subject to change before game start as components change for balance or story reasons.

(To be moved when finalized nation checklist is written)

No (or at least few) inhabited systems are truly an island unto themselves, despite the decades of near-isolation most have experienced at one time or another. The benefits of collaboration and standardization are immense and thus most nations share many commonalities with their friends.

'''''Tentatively'' all nations will get 5,000 points to spend on Jane's ('Standard') equipment.''' These points can be spent on [[Second Line Equipment]] if desired, though the reverse is not allowed.

In essence there is a tier system; points can go down but not go up.

:A recent design from Tensor Industries, the Typhoon Strike Cruiser was surrounded by secrecy until its quiet unveiling in mid-2193. Equipped with a plethora of high-tech systems it is a showcase of Tensor's technological know-how, though rumors remain that Tensor traded significant resources to an undisclosed Expanse power to properly integrate the fold drive. Indeed, it is not even certain where the requisite Omega dust originated from.
:Enigmas aside, the Typhoon is a highly effective warship on paper and capable of fighting almost any heavy cruiser in the galaxy on equal terms. Its ability to carry up to two HLVs or mobile armors only helps. However, unlike the newer Bullhead prototype it lacks any organic hangar space, a continuing point of criticism. The exact number of Typhoons sold by Tensor has not been publically released and so far, Tensor has resisted all inquiries into the matter.
