Absolutely. Governments or private corps, even small scale traders (to a limited degree, can't have every entrepeneur in Known Space attending) are allowed.

Well, this won't be my government selling things either. Most of the stations were made by Orodan General Shipping, while the others (the ones that weren't in the publicly announced deal ) were made by Nashtari Defense Systems. Some of the latter will likely be bought by my own government before the remainder are put up for sale at the fair, and they come with some pretty tight government restrictions on who they may be sold to.

Fair enough. What types of stations are going to be for sale?

Weapons I woud assume are legal(provided none are fired)
But say... General Products and Zenith could showcase their Weapons division?
Live weapons are not allowed in the Fair itself, only mock ups and recordings of demonstrations. A seperate ship is designated to be the testing grounds for any personal scale weaponry or defenses, so as to properly ensure the protection of the attendees on board the Dream Forge. You can schedule demonstrations with the Fair staff.

There is Grandeur in the View of Life; it fills me with a Deep Wonder, and Intense Cynicism.
Mostly modular civilian-application stations, can be converted for living quarters, spacelane control "tower," research labs, or most anything else you want that can fit in the hull. The rest are Cascade class defense platforms; see my OOB.
I may find some use for both of those in Ark Sector, so we'll see how it goes

It's to buy and sell. Any offers anyone has will be heard, and even if the Consortium isn't specifically interested, one of the other attendees might be.
Because the governmentdoesnt sell things, would attendees from the various private corporations be able to attend?
Part of your foreign policy could be a trade restriction.
Also, question, do civilian organizations hold all major technologies? I know I certainly wouldn't want some technology openly traded, but that's just me.
Libertarians impose trade restrictions? What are you smoking?
And private companies make U.S. military equipment. The most famous of these are the aircraft manufacturers; Grumman, Lockheed, McDonnell-Douglas, Boeing, all are private corporations. Electric Boat made (and may still make, I'm not sure) submarines for the U.S. Navy. The government doesn't generally own large factories in a free republic of any sort.
I missed a lot, in particular in the characters section. If there's any events you want me to add, chronology you want me to change, or any characters (Characters who've gotten more than just a post or two of mention, please!) you'd like put in, then PM me with it. I don't know much about some empires, (Baeloreans, Gladsheim, Asgard, in particular) so please feel free to correct me.
This is far from complete, and I'll need your help to make it right.

They steal some Arcane magic books, which leads to a major incident as Arcane troops board a Floater Cluster in the Sol System, breaching the Peace of Terra and almost starting a war between Monacora and the Arcane Empire. Magic books end up in the hands of Monacora and the Hajr.
Month 4:
-Protectorate Troops arrive on Ix'agal, and quash Covenant resistance with extreme prejudice. Hajr agents go underground, their network remains in place.

-Ousters, Vampires, Veithans, Ravenlock, and Gladsheim split up Arcane Empire, despite heavy opposition by the Quintuple Alliance (which now lacks the psilons and the Arcanists, but has gained the Atlanteans.) War almost breaks out between the Hajr and the Protectorate over this. Protectorate backs down, and the Treaty of Temesvar legitimizes the conquests.

It is very good, thirdfain. Hard to believe we are at month 7 already. Mind if I ask how many months/years did STGOD 1 & 2 last?
STGOD1, maybe 3-4 months of ingame time. STGOD2, a little longer, I suppose. Both were short, with 2-3 small conflicts and one big ending conflict. STGOD1 was the Slave Wars, some political dealing, the Black Alice incident and then a few months of tensions leading to the Genocide Wars. STGOD2 was the Aquarian War, then the Turncoat War, then the whole Pirate business followed by the collapse of the Grand Alliance and then the Commonwealth/Cornerian war, which ended the STGOD.
