The CT supp 'Trillion Credit Squadron' has a campaign option in which military budgetary yields are presented according to system mainworld characteristics.

Interestingly, there is no provision for 'hidden planets' so the stat seems to actually be a USP (universal SYSTEM profile) rather than a UPP.

(wasn't the acronym originally 'USP' in the original CT? ISTR that there were two 'USP's, one for ships & one for systems) 

In any case, there're lots & lots of ways to tailor the 3I's economics to produce just about any model desired.

I have looked in CT 1977 LBB1, 2, and 3 and as far as I can tell there is not mention of universal system/ship/personal/planet profile. CT 1977 LBB 2 p. 23 has an example of a data card used for combat.

Hmmmm.

Then I guess I don't recall what the string of numbers was called but it must have been called something?

In any case it's odd that 'Trillion Credit Sqd' only used the mainworld stats.

This might've been where I first got the idea that the stats applied to the whole system & not just the 'mainworld' (whatever the definition of that term really is).
