About Us
Merchant Empires Universe was started in May of 2002. It is a fork of the original game as designed by Bryan Brunton and the continued efforts of the Open ME project. Merchant Empires has gone through several stages in the last 2 years. Here is a breakup of that history.
Screenshot The original development that started things off. This project started early in the year 2000 and since then has sparked a lot of imagination from developers world wide. This version no longer exists nor is it support by Bryan Brunton today. You will be able to find the original setup located at sourceforge.net.
Screenshot The Open ME development that picked up after Bryan Brunton's original development. This project started early in the year 2001 and has undergone several upgrades that distinguish it from the original efforts of it's predecessor. You can play this game still today by visiting www.advancedpowers.com.
Screenshot This a development that is similar to the Open ME dev. It uses different ideas which are not implemented in the Advanced Powers dev and is constantly changing from week to week. You can play the game by visiting the site at dontpanic.dyndns.org

Stellar Guard
Note: This was an alliance that originated during the final days of Space Merchant. In Merchant Empires, it became known as Stellar Pride while in TDZK it became known as KAOS.
They arose from the ashes of the great collapse. A collection of lost souls, merchants, military and brigands.
In the chaos this unlikey collection of pilots found each other and through each other found the strength to rise above the madness of societies collapse and become more than allies, They were bound together by blood and bound by honor.
Now generations later The Stellar Guard as they had become known were a nation of pilots within the seperate factions of TRI.
Flash Intro HTML Intro
Welcome to the Stellar Guard website
We will actively oppose piracy.
We will promote honor and honesty among our pilots.
We will strive to further and promote The Reconstruction Initiative.
May 21, 2001
*She steps up the dais, smiling nervously at the gathered crowd. Those who know her, can see behind that somewhat faked nervousness. However the gratitude in her eyes and smile as she scans the crowd for a few specific faces is genuine. She clears her throat*
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pride that I officially declare the Stellar Guard HQ open. This could not have been possible without the help of many.
My heartfelt thanks go to Babaloo for his undying support, IceFox for those inspired texts and WishBone for helping me kill Bugs.
A very special thank you goes to all of you who come and will come enjoy the Stellar Guard hospitality.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Stellar Guard HQ!
Refreshments will be served in The Bar"
*with a last smile, she leaves the dais

Our History
Brave New Frontier
Stellar Guard Ranks
Commander
Commander is the utmost highest rank a Stellar Guard can hope to attain. They lead, trade, fight and do all the paperwork. A commander’s signature is required to bind any minor or standard treaty, and a unanimous agreement is required to seal a major one.
Wing Commander
Tasked with leading wings into battle against hostile forces, Wing Commanders are effectively the combat leaders. Skilled in most or all trades of combat and barter, they are fit and authorized to officially negotiate to a limited extent as well.
Lt. Wing Cmdr
Tasked with assisting the wing commanders in their duties, the lieutenant wing commanders are fit and authorized to lead in the wing commanders’ absence as well. The LWC is competent, cool under fire and capable of quick thinking and decision-making.
Colonel
The colonel is a very busy person. Tasked with some administrative duty and trusted highly by all commanders, colonels are most responsible for not only a major’s duties, but for pilot-leadership relations. They are the pilots’ voice to the leadership.
Major
The major has not only proven competent in all fields of trade, profiteering and combat, but is also skilled and shows an amount of leadership ability. Majors are trusted to command in the absence of the wing commanders and are competent at negotiation.
Captain
A captain has proven him or herself not only competent in the battlefield, but also in trade. A skill or at least know-how in trade and profiteering is seen as a necessity for any officer of even mildly considerable rank in today’s navy.
1st Lt.
The 1st lieutenant has proven himself to be a competent soldier. Forming the backbone of the Stellar Guard, 1st Lieutenants are often the first in and the last out of a combat engagement.
2nd Lt.
Still somewhat green, 2nd lieutenants are numerous and somewhat skilled.
Ensign
What can be said of an ensign? Not much. These pilots are still quite wet behind the ears and are usually new to the squad or play very little Jumpgate. The duty of an ensign is the same as any other officer, however- combat, trade, honor.
Cadet
Cadets are new to the Stellar Guard, and are often yet to be completely trusted by their superiors. A cadet has but one role: To learn and absorb as much as possible so that they may one day better serve TRI and the Stellar Guard.
