Alignment
From TradeWars Documentation Wiki
Alignment is the morals ranking of a trader. It influences many aspects of the game, including whether a player can purchase or operate an Imperial StarShip, safely enter the Police Station or the Underground, or attempt to steal products or credits from ports. The rank or title associated with a trader's experience changes depending on whether the trader's alignment is positive or negative. Because positive or "good" ranks are displayed in blue and negative or "evil" ranks are displayed in red, the terms "blue" and "red" have become synonymous with good or evil alignment and their associated features and tactics.
