History

Formed in 2346, Nanotrasen Biomedical, now the Nanotrasen Corporation, is a leading trans-stellar research corporation specialising in Genetic Engineering and Material research.

Nanotrasen started out as a small company, whose research was mostly based around gene-therapy in the heart of human space, Mars. This was shortly prior to the series of scandals over cloning being reserved to the rich rather than being provided to industrialist fodder in the most prosperous part of Sol - Nanotrasen was effective at patenting methods that lead to more cost effective coverage plans for business use, primarily through aggressive business tactics than personal research brilliance- Many minor bio/med research facilities ended up on the unpleasant end of Xavier Trasen's desire to make a name for himself and shark-like approach, and were bought out and taken apart for his company's capitalization. By the end of the decade, Nanotrasen became a trans-stellar entity.

At the turning point of the 26th Century, Plasma was discovered. Nanotrasen was, naturally, the foremost corporation in attempting to exploit this valuable new resource, and they set up numerous stations and factories around the Plasma Giants in order to exploit the resource. This jump-started the economy, and the so-called Orange Rush began, with all of the corporations attempting to replicate NT's (dubiously) patented and highly secretive plasma refining technique. Research facilities, stations, ships and other installations were being built faster than ever. Nanotrasen, capitalizing on it's newfound wealth managed to bankrupt and absorb many other companies on a larger scale that ever before. Many feel Nanotrasen's only defining ability is in capitalizing upon other's hard work- And not an entirely untrue assumption. Nonetheless, this only further increased Nanotrasen's power and scope, ratcheting it up to the status of a true super-corporation, the most powerful business-empire in the known galaxy.

The Nanotrasen corporation maintains a large fleet of ships and stations for varying purposes ranging from research to transport to medical to exploration. Known as the Merchant Fleet these ships form the backbone of Nanotrasens financing transporting personnel, cargo and research from system to system, planet to planet and back again.
In addition to its commercial fleet the Nanotrasen Corporation maintains a Fleet Security Force which provides 75 ships for the purpose of fleet escort and emergency response, these vessels are Bluespace capable and moderately armed and range from small frigates up to small drone carriers.

The FSF whilst good at its job of fleet protection and other defensive operations, is very poor at power projection in offensive operations, commonly relying on the support of Planetary Governments and other TSC's where possible. As it stands currently the FSF maintains an almost impeccable service record
