I can't find hardly anything on them. Can anyone tell me abotu them?
Things I am trying to find are things like what makes them good, what
they should be doing, what will hurt them the most, and how to beat
them?

The only information I have seen is:

A poor strat guide
http://www.furfur.demon.co.uk/geop/v4ua.htm
http://www.sierranet.net/~cocomax/v4guide/ua.htm

The ship list (missing info)
http://www.vgaplanets.com/v4races/rc802f.htm


Anyone have more information? I want to know hot to play them, and how
they are beaten.

I'm playing UA in a game with host 193. I can confirm that keeping 10k
(and much more) contra around does NOT raise crime.

UA is even better with poor game settings because it's self suficient!

When the Contra changes happened the UA really took one on the chin. As
you recall fromur recent game, Ralph, the contra production dropped. The
crime problem was corrected in 193, but, the income really was hurt.
