The Furnace is also an established trade route for the Free Trade Union which also operates the Furies Furnace Base on a moving asteroid within the corridor, recently discovered by the crew of the USS Independence, serving aboard the USS Hammond at the time of the discovery.

The incident in question led to the FTU signing with the Federation the Furies Furnace Treaty, opening the doors for further interaction with the Union.
