Summary

In the future, where corporations hold a good chunk of the power. Many have taken the chance to setup stations far outside the jurisdiction of most governments.

Companies

Major Companies

Molkot and Son: One of the bigger corps around, leading the way in technological advancements. This corp has a negative rep among many rim worlds, due to their way of taking over small towns and running them into the ground for more employees. While many races are allowed into this company, its believed that those who are not human have it harder when working there. Of course no one can really prove this.

The Company: Started by a hand full of smaller corps. Its purpose is to disrupt operations by Molkot and son. Usually this is through stealing things from the many stations M&S have around the galaxy. Though sometimes this leads to a more extreme job of straight nuking the station.

Merlin Tech: An ancient order of Wizards who safe guard their ancient magical skills. They do not have any actual items for sell, they merely offer their services to those in need. This group has been known to attack companies that dare mess with them.

Minor Companies

Ponk Co.: Started as a company focused on quick and cheap meals, Has expanded into many different fields, from cheap toys to cheap furniture to even cheap space ships.

Miliban: Mostly works on Kitchen tech. But they also are one of the best generator makers this side of the galaxy.

Sirplus: Makers of Cheap knock-offs of most things around the galaxy. Molkot and Sons usually doesn't buy from them. Though sometimes you will find their stuff in the older sections of the station.
