THE SOLAR FEDERATION (RACE 1)
	Origin:
		The Solar Federation is based on the Federation from Star Trek, the Original Series.
	About Race 1:
		The Solar Federation is very good at making friends with the Natives they encounter. Due to their efficiency
			and friendliness, the Federation Colonists are able to collect twice as many Megacredits per turn from
			both Colonists and Natives.
		The Solar Federation also has a set of strict laws that are enforced by the Universal Environmental Protection
			Agency (UEPA). In order to follow these laws, the Federation can only mine at 70% of the normal rate.
		The Federation fleet is made up of many medium sized Ships that are designed to serve a variety of Missions. They
			prefer Torpedo Ships and have only one Ship that acts as a Carrier.
		For some unknown reason, they like to paint their Ships bright white and put external lighting systems on
			them. This tends to make them easier targets in a fight, but it also has the effect of scaring enemies. After all,
			anyone who would light up their Ships so brightly has to be unafraid of all enemies and have a  powerful
			Ship, or just has to be compeletly stupid.
		The Solar Federation is the only Race that can upgrade the Tech Levels of old Ships. By setting a Ship's Mission to
			Super Refit, and by parking the Ship at a Starbase, the Engineer will remove the old parts and install any newer
			parts that are in storage on the Starbase.
