The Investors is an ultra-covert group of billicreditaires whose goal is to be the behind-the-scenes controllers of the UPF. While the UPF is presently an organization that is comprised of all of the Frontier's planetary system governments, the Investors believes it could develop the UPF into a body that would override all local governments. While its aims and methods are similar to that of the Free Frontiersmen Foundation, the Investors is a much smarter and more hidden group. The Investors tries to gain control by financial wars, not by actual military ventures, as the FFF would.
