You can post questions in the actual topic for this so others will also know the answer if they had the same question.
To answer your question though, they aren't going to be a part of the Vast Empire. They are a separate club that we are allied with that will have access to use all the applications we have access to use. This will hopefully create more role playing opportunities between the groups.
They had access to use these before, but there was no easy way for the FES members to migrate their accounts over to our system and pay their members. Thus, they didn't use it much in the past. Now, with the ability to transfer their credits to our system through our remote access APIs, they'll hopefully be using it more often.
Just in the past few days, we've had quite a few FES members transfer credits to our system and purchase items at the store, buy health care insurance, and purchase stocks at Imperitrade.
