United Nations Department of Transportation

The United Nations Department of Transportation or UNDOT for short, is the department under UN tasked with overseeing UN and civilian shipping.

History

The UNDOT was formed in 2024 to oversee, what was thought of, as the new golden age of spaceflight. Initially it was only to oversee the civilian deployment and legisation, However with the leak of TNE technology to the Federation, the UNDOT became a vital part of the UN colonial ambitions. Originally lead by Councilor Triskelli however by September 2026, he was replaced by Councilor DagPenge due to declining health.

Responsibilities

The UNDOT is responsible for moving men and materials between all UN controlled stellar bodies, as well as all contact with civilian shipping corporations. This is mainly coordinated from the UNDOT complex at Cape Canaveral, although with the size of McK a sizable part of the logisics are done at the McK facility near London.

Assets

The UNDOT have so far choosen not to build alot of ships directly under UN command, prefering instead to fund private enterprise and let civilian companies do the heavy lifting. The UN do have several civilian ships under their command, which was build either early in the space race or had a function which could not be kept on civilian hands.
