'''[[Background summary| The bare minimum reading one may require before reading this page is the lore starter guide, found in the navbox above or by clicking this sentence!]]'''


If you’re on this page, you’re likely looking for help with character creation. This is simple due to the freedoms given to players - but, lore can be a lot to take in! This page details what exactly you should focus on before delving into specifics, so you aren’t overwhelmed with what may seem like an astronomical lore repository at first glance.
==Overview==


Before we begin, the most important thing to consider is the rules. Do not attempt to circumvent these, and, when in doubt, always feel free to ask admin/mod staff and lore developers if a character is reasonable and lore-compliant. '''[https://aurorastation.org/rules.html The rules can be found in this very long and obvious bold and blue highlighted sentence so you can’t miss it.]'''
NanoTrasen is the corporation the player works for. Formerly a biotech research company NanoTrasen Corporation’s size, influence, and wealth exploded to previously unthinkable heights after the discovery of Phoron and bluespace. It has a net worth of 730 trillion credits and 440 million employees and a vast fleet of ships and stations.


=Mechanics of Character Creation=
However, NanoTrasen remains an extremely controversial mega-corporation, accused of buying Tau Ceti outright, bribing politicians, and performing illegal experiments in the frontier of human space. NanoTrasen is rumored to have their hands in every level of Tau Ceti's government in addition to a reputation for mistreating their workforce in the name of the bottom line. The corporation is also suspected of instigating wars on Adhomai and Moghes for the purpose of manipulating the species' into lucrative deals for profit.
This section is dedicated to the barebones mechanics of character setup, to help along confused players who are unfamiliar with Space Station 13 or roleplaying games in general. If you are familiar with SS13, it is suggested to skip this section.


The mechanics of character setup are simple. By pressing the "Character Setup" button in the lobby you're able to access your character list and alter the traits of up to thirty characters at a time.
==General==
'''Current CEO:''' [[Notable Humans#Miranda Trasen|Miranda Trasen]]


You are the only person with access to your characters and it is tied to your BYOND ckey, or username/account details. When issues occur regarding missing characters, contact staff as soon as you can!
'''Official Title(s):''' NanoTrasen Corporation, NanoTrasen Biomedical


You are freely able to delete any character you so please, though if you find yourself involved in canonical incidents, staff - and especially other players - would prefer you notify them first before doing this.
'''Motto:''' ''The leader in all things Phoron!''


Character setup is split into various lists, buttons and fields that indicate details about that character. The "Writing your Character" section details what you need to know about the specifics of these fields.
'''Headquarters:''' [[Mendell City]], [[Biesel]], [[Tau Ceti]]


=Writing your Character=
'''Official Languages:''' Tau Ceti Basic, Sol Common, Tradeband
This section is dedicated to the roleplaying aspect of creating your character.
==Getting Started : What is Aurora lore?==


Aurora lore is a hinging point of the server in that it is the setting which ties everything together. It is very important to stay up-to-date with lore that relates to your character, and with the galaxy at large - this is because you are playing a character whose story is told through it. Putting yourself in the shoes of a character grows far easier the more you know about their background, so we will cover the background first.
==Influence==


==Origins - Citizenship, Language and Religion==
NanoTrasen maintains a heavy direct pressure over roughly 75% of human states and factions, with numerous NanoTrasen manufacturing sectors, research and development laboratories, and orbital facilities. NanoTrasen property can be found in most of human space if one looks hard enough.


Like any roleplaying game, an easy starting point is the origins of a character. The specifics of these origins are judged by a solemn factor mechanically : citizenship. Seeing as your character must be on the station legally (if they were made from character setup menus,) there is no way you can be here without it. While there are resources on acquiring citizenship already on this wiki, we will be focusing on characters who were born in a given area for simplicity’s sake in this guide.
==Executives and Branches==


The “home” location of your character can mean any number of things, from their financial status, to their beliefs and more. The easiest thing to do is to adopt the beliefs and mannerisms of any given area in the lore and attach them to your character. Modern culture has largely faded or been replaced or is not even mentioned in Aurora lore - in fact, Earth is no longer even a major plot point. This leads to the simpler backgrounds being unrelated to Sol as a system entirely - in fact, our setting is based from a Republic separate from the home Alliance!
===Executives===
[[File:Trasen_Dynasty.png|The NanoTrasen family.|thumb]]
NanoTrasen is managed by the Chiefs of Staff, who are advised and appointed by the Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer, currently Miranda Trasen, has the ultimate authority over the corporation. Trasen herself is also a majority shareholder, making her the wealthiest human in the galaxy. After the Chiefs of Staff and Board of Directors, power is delegated to Sector Command comprised of the Duty Officers and Central Command Internal Affairs (CCIA) personnel. Sector Command in turn delegates power to individual Station Command personnel.


When considering where you’ve started, keep in mind the following : The [[Republic of Biesel]] is completely surrounded by the [[Sol Alliance]], and then open frontier. Safe travel across longer distances is less safe and obviously longer. The specifics of how long your character has travelled can be deduced simply : use the [[Interstellar Travel]] Page, base your speed off of that, and count the squares on the starmap between you and your destination.
'''Chief Executive Officer:''' Miranda Trasen, 47, Human


With that out of the way, there are a myriad of different choices to be had here. This guide will focus on the Republic of Biesel as the point of interest for now.
'''Chief Research Director:''' Rook Keller, 67, Human


[[Image:Republicofbieselflag.png|65px]]
'''Chief Security Officer:''' Nathan Trasen, 44, Human
'''[[Republic of Biesel]]'''


The Republic of Biesel is a federal republic exercising official authority over the Tau Ceti system and not much else. However, it is built upon a fabulous concentration of phoron, occupied by the NanoTrasen corporation - something that has led to it becoming the wealthiest system in Human space and beyond.
'''Chief Naval Director:''' Marcus Mathers, 60, Human


This is ultimately the '''default''' of the setting. Players using character backgrounds from here will find seamless integration in the lore easy thanks to its simplicity. NanoTrasen rules all here, and simply living here implies you work for some form of megacorporation.  
[[File:NT!! - Copy.png|The hierarchy of the NanoTrasen Corporation.|thumb]]


===Different faction expectations===
'''Chief Personnel Director:''' Quix Repi’Weish, 209, Skrell
Different factions have different expectations. For example, Unathi are tied into Dominia at every level of its society, meaning it makes very little sense to play a Dominian who does not know what a Unathi is. In this regard, it can only be stressed that the more you know, the easier you can find your character's place.


[[Languages]] play a major part in Aurora's setting, splitting entire populations by merely hearing the words others speak. Details on each language can be found ingame, but the wiki resource can be found at the [[Languages]] page.
'''Chief Relations Director:''' Andrew Reynolds, 55, Human


===So where do I go?===
'''Chief Legal Director:''' Mori Takachika, 53, Human
Every species has a navbox dedicated to their own lore, with a main lore navbox being located at the bottom of this page and many others, sometimes at the top. It's hard to get lost on the Aurora wiki.


This is the navigational box, or navbox, for Human lore. It contains important information and by pressing the leftmost names of the factions, you can look into every detail pertaining to them.
'''Chief Medical Director:''' Yehtlas Mualt-Quaat, 218, Skrell
{{Navbox Human Lore}}
==Moving on==
The faction a character chooses is far from the defining trait of a character. Characters are, when in character, just people after all. The next sections proceed onto details elaborating on how you can use this information - or totally disregard it, should you wish.


==Character traits - Flavor text, Records==
'''Chief Engineering Director:''' Nigel Brent, 59, Human


This is partly where the freedom of Aurora character creation shines the most.
===Branches===


Flavor text is an editable text attached to your character that is presented to '''everyone''' who examines your character in-game. Theoretically, literally anything can go in this field, within the boundaries of the rules. These cover every body part - but we won't go into that much detail.
With their headquarters in Tau Ceti, NanoTrasen has spread throughout much of human space, digging into every hold the company can find. Here are the locations of their primary and largest branches.


This is often a point which players use to expand upon their origins. For example,
'''[[Mendell City]], Biesel, Tau Ceti:''' The Mendell City branch in Zhengfu District oversees much of NanoTrasen’s activity in Biesel. There is a small water garden on the ground floor for public use that is surprisingly serene, considering the owner and the nearby looming skyscraper. Security is extremely tight in the facility, though no simple visitor would be the wiser.


Before you stands an Eridanian, (goes on with flavortext)
'''NTCC [[Odin]], Biesel Orbit, Tau Ceti:''' The NTCC Odin serves as NanoTrasen’s primary administrative center. Broken up into a residential, industrial, and commercial blocks, the NTCC Odin houses employees and helps create more revenue for NanoTrasen. The company’s Emergency Response Teams are also based on the NTCC Odin.


is a very common way to start a flavor text. If your character is part of a niche or perhaps unknown demographic, this much can be expanded upon as well, such as -
'''New York City, United Americas, Sol:''' The New York City branch is responsible for NanoTrasen’s activity in Sol. NanoTrasen’s New York City Headquarters stands directly next to the World Trade Center, considered a very fitting placement by observers. It is rumored the Trasen family penthouse is in the NYC building, though none know for sure.


This individual carries an exotic, unfamiliar demeanor and appearance. (goes on with flavortext)
'''Oran, Epsilon Eridani, Eridani Corporate Federation:''' The Oran branch is in charge of NanoTrasen’s activity in the Eridani Federation. Though not as prominent as other megacorporations in Eridani, NanoTrasen manages to keep its place by recruiting Eridanians solely based on talent, ranging from suits to dregs to tunnel runners and everyone between.


Everyone writes flavor text differently. Some individuals go for very wordy and in-depth text to describe their character's precise details, while others may put only a sentence.
'''Kuenoi, Xanu Prime, Xanu:''' The Keunoi branch oversees NanoTrasen’s activity across the Coalition of Colonies. As apart of the corporate complex building with the other corporations in Cingnim District, NanoTrasen protects its assets by having a visiting time of one hour, between 3 AM and 4 AM, and imposing heavy fines on “trespassers” and by pushing for harder convictions on corporate espionage charges.


The only absolute is that flavor text is not a requirement. It is heavily encouraged to write one, however, because hammering out the appearance of your character is the first step toward better connecting with them.
==History==


For faction-specific appearances, refer to faction pages. There is ''always'' a section detailing what the populace may look like to help you along.
Formed in 2346, Nanotrasen started out as a small company, whose research was mostly based around gene-therapy in the heart of human space, Mars. NanoTrasen was effective at patenting methods that lead to more cost effective medical coverage plans for business use, primarily through aggressive business tactics than personal research brilliance. Many minor medical 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 specializing in genetic engineering and medical research.


Creativity is a key component of good writing, and this reflects in flavor text. Your imagination can run wild with how you want your character to appear, no matter how unique or bland they may seem.
In 2417, NanoTrasen discovered Phoron in the Tau Ceti system in the Romanovich Cloud. This new resource allowed the generation of immense amounts of electricity and could be used as fuel for FTL travel, out-dating everything that had come before it. NanoTrasen began exploiting this new resource aggressively, setting up numerous stations and outposts in Tau Ceti to exploit the resource while sending out many new probes and drones to discover more.


===Records===
Research facilities, stations, ships and other installations were being built faster than ever. NanoTrasen, capitalizing on its newfound wealth, managed to bankrupt and absorb many other companies on a larger scale than ever before and soon changed their name to its modern form. 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.


Records are a difficult part of character creation. Many individuals opt to not create character records until they think they enjoy a character enough to bother. However, they are very fulfilling and easy to write once you get a hang of it ; the more you know, the more you can simply pull from lore to justify where your character has been or how they got here.
== The Syndicate ==
The Syndicate is a shadowy intragalactic organization made up of highly-trained, highly funded, and highly dedicated operatives. Their ultimate objective is to destroy Nanotrasen and any government that supports it. Their activities are broad and their methods are varied. The Syndicate is responsible for hundreds of acts of terrorism as well as inciting civil unrest. The Syndicate has had its hand in nearly every major galactic event since the 2440's. It has agents in most other megacorporations and receives financing from them or directly siphon funds - along, reportedly, with supplies from [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]]. The Syndicate is also branching out to infiltrate and influence major governments, or to find allies in the various spy agencies.  


The concept of records is simple : all employees have them tied into their existence in the setting, telling other players all sorts of things from your character's flaws to your skills.
Their operations in recent years became lulled as the agency began to stagnate in the face of effective Nanotrasen counter-operations or major busts by law enforcement. The organization has had traces of itself scrubbed by Republic officials during this stagnation, binning any and all reference to the Syndicate in face of bribery and other, less polite means of influence from the Company.
The major influences on the Syndicate as a whole take little to ascertain - those being Hephaestus and Zavodskoi, as well as Einstein Engines itself. Each decisive strike against NanoTrasen would be for the benefit of seeing its power dwindle, and the slow collapse of the corporate giant could easily be filled in by the vultures circling over their head.  


There are no official records templates to utilize. You can make your own or look for some in the community yourself - however, none are included here (for now).
====The Criminal Scum and You====


Some players include OOC notes or external links in their records to create things that can't be created in plain text. This is permitted and in no way frowned upon.
Syndicate paraphernalia is not an uncommon sight in dark corners of some NanoTrasen installations, though it is important to consider the steps NanoTrasen has taken to ensure the destruction of this. Most, if not all non-command and security staff characters would have little to no idea of the Syndicate’s existence. Security would know very little beyond the name, and Command would likely recognize the Syndicate as a hidden, or perhaps already long-defeated enemy. Mindshielded individuals would certainly recognize and seek the destruction of Syndicate paraphernalia as it is seen.

''"Our stars are bigger than real stars!”''
 
Ingi Usang Entertainment Co., abbreviated InUs, is a major subsidiary of NanoTrasen, handling the production, editing, and distribution of holovid shows, music, and other art mediums.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Employment records tell a story very well! With these, you can narrate the locations your character has worked over their life, their skills, qualifications and more. These are most commonly what gets you access to extra permissions ICly, and thus tends to be an issue more often than not. Be reasonable with your character's skillset and history.
====Influence====
 
Though InUs is based in Sol, a number of their holovid shows are prominent through much of the Sol Alliance and somewhat popular in the Republic of Biesel. InUs’s major influence, however, are their musical groups. Members of InUs’s record label are often widely known through Sol Alliance space and their music, clothing lines, and makeup brands are at high demand.

==The Loadout and Cosmetics==
The loadout, as selected at the top of the character setup, permits you to dress your character in any way you want. Aurora's loadout selection is rather cluttered, and arguably ''bloated,'' but this is in the better interest of player freedom in character aesthetic. Going into the details of this is utterly hopeless because of the sheer amount of items you can access, much less the fact that it's constantly changing. Go and explore!


An excerpt : The only xenowear accessible to anybody who lacks a whitelist is "Xenowear-Human," which can only be worn by [[Offworlder Humans]].
Cuentas?: A holovid network focusing on news and celebrity gossip with shows like The Day with Njeru and Susanto, That Good Stuff, The Spotlight, and The Orion Network.


==Finishing : Your Job and Employer==
Nana’s Network: A holovid network focusing on hobbies with shows like Cooking with Kayal, The Free Folk, and Robust Life.
The NSS Aurora is a workplace where, not everyone is actually employed. There are options to play unemployed individuals, such as visitors and unaffiliated parties. To wrap up, we'll move on to your job selection.


===Your Job===
====History====
Jobs are the core of SS13 gameplay, and this carried over to Aurora's server gameplay as well. Everyone plays their own role and the character you make with this guide is forced to choose one, should you play as them. There are multiple paths that interest plenty of people : there's well over 30 occupations available that each have extremely fleshed out mechanics and places in their departments. To get a comprehensive selection of what you can play, press the big "Jobs" button below (or the adjacent guides, which contain good info too). If you intend to play an '''external megacorporate contractor,''' the final section of this page details just what you need.

==The Other Scary Megacorporations==
While not detailed much in the new play summary or here, there is the ability to play every megacorporation's contractors on the Aurora server. This has the exception of Einstein Engines.


'''The Megacorporations''' are major defining factors to you, if you happen to be one of these contractors. They are listed below, and your expectations can completely change depending on who you're from.  
Founded by Songmin Sang in 2214, Ingi Usang Entertainment Company remained a fairly minor corporation until being bought out by NanoTrasen in 2340 for “strategic marketing”. Though InUs faired bettered, it was not until 2397 when Binyaria, a Venusian aerostat, opened the Chiye-Gyo District to corporate investment. Between the untapped Venusian entertainment industry and cutthroat corporate war with BP Entertainment Inc., InUs flourished by debuting musical groups that quickly became insanely popular. In 2438, the company moved its headquarters to the Chiye-Gyo District.

</div></div>
[[File:Hephaestuslogo4.png|200px|link=Hephaestus Industries]]
==Stations, Merchant Fleet and the Fleet Security Force==
====[[Hephaestus Industries]]====
Hephaestus Industries is the foremost industrial power in the galaxy. Their ability to manufacture the greatest range of products is unparalleled among the megacorporations, solidifying its position - begrudgingly, beneath NanoTrasen.


Hephaestus contractors are known for their free and hardy nature, being mostly individuals sourced from opposition of the Sol Alliance. This has gone so far as to make their primary language ''Freespeak,'' one known for its connection to the rebellious Mars.
The NanoTrasen corporation maintains a large fleet of ships and stations for varying purposes, ranging from research to transport to medical to exploration. These ships form the backbone of NanoTrasen’s transportation of personnel, cargo, and research from system to system and planet to planet.


[[File:II-teal.png|200px|link=Idris Incorporated]]
The military arm of this fleet is known as the NanoTrasen Navy, which is overseen by the Chief Naval Director and his Sector Commanders. The fleet Utilizes ships from simple patrol frigates to impressive drone carriers, like the NMV Icarus that patrols the space around the Aurora and Exodus. Some ships even have attachments of ERT teams that can respond to emergencies across their respective system.
====[[Idris Incorporated]]====
Idris Incorporated is the greatest banking conglomerate in the galaxy. Their reach extends as far as NanoTrasen's, despite a rather centralized and shady family administration.  


Idris contractors are usually renowned everyday service personnel, the highest class even. They delve frequently into security contracting as well - their own claim to quality simply being the "Idris expectation."
Every mega-corporation has some sort of orbital fleet to protect their assets, but NanoTrasen is notable in that it is the only mega-corporation that fields a fleet completely independent of government contracts or subsidies. This has lead to accusations against NanoTrasen of fielding the equivalent of a mercenary army, one that can easily intimidate governments and is large enough to require a consolidated effort from the entire fading Sol Alliance to defeat.


[[File:ZH-lightpurple.png|200px|link=Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]]
'''Prefixes'''
====[[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]]====
Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals is the largest pharmaceutical employer and medical research corporation ever devised. Their coverage of the galaxy is spotty, but they have grown massively in recent years.


Zeng-Hu contractors are very often exactly what they're slated to be. The formalities involved with practicing medicine are extensive (even in the 2400's) and as such Zeng-Hu is known to employ only the best - especially for positions on other megacorporate installations.

[[File:Zavodskoi Interestellar.png|150px|link=Zavodskoi Interstellar]]
NSS - NanoTrasen Space Station
====[[Zavodskoi Interstellar]]====
Zavodskoi Interstellar is defined as the largest (and, at this point, the only) major arms manufacturer in the known galaxy. Their reach extends to whoever needs weapons at any time - from killing machines to angry looking boots, they sell it all.


Zavodskoi contractors are known to contrast their company's ''edgy'' and intimidating exterior. Politeness and cooperation with employers, and encouraging polite cooperation with others is the name of the game.

The primary logo of the NanoTrasen Corporation.

"NanoTrasen is the leader in all things Phoron... And more! Across the galaxy we provide the finest Phoron-combustion generators and Phoron byproducts, such as the Supermatter engines and singularity fields to bring power to your neighborhood! We continue to make significant advances in other major fields ranging from the hydroponics, to genetic research, to information technology and robotics! As a proud employee of our corporation, we encourage you to take active part in continuing to advance our our scientific knowledge for the good of the human race, and your pay check!"

Overview

NanoTrasen is the corporation the player works for. Formerly a biotech research company NanoTrasen Corporation’s size, influence, and wealth exploded to previously unthinkable heights after the discovery of Phoron and bluespace. It has a net worth of 730 trillion credits and 440 million employees and a vast fleet of ships and stations.

However, NanoTrasen remains an extremely controversial mega-corporation, accused of buying Tau Ceti outright, bribing politicians, and performing illegal experiments in the frontier of human space. NanoTrasen is rumored to have their hands in every level of Tau Ceti's government in addition to a reputation for mistreating their workforce in the name of the bottom line. The corporation is also suspected of instigating wars on Adhomai and Moghes for the purpose of manipulating the species' into lucrative deals for profit.

General

Current CEO: Miranda Trasen

Official Title(s): NanoTrasen Corporation, NanoTrasen Biomedical

Motto: The leader in all things Phoron!

Headquarters: Mendell City, Biesel, Tau Ceti

Official Languages: Tau Ceti Basic, Sol Common, Tradeband

Influence

NanoTrasen maintains a heavy direct pressure over roughly 75% of human states and factions, with numerous NanoTrasen manufacturing sectors, research and development laboratories, and orbital facilities. NanoTrasen property can be found in most of human space if one looks hard enough.

Executives and Branches

Executives

The NanoTrasen family.

NanoTrasen is managed by the Chiefs of Staff, who are advised and appointed by the Board of Directors. The Chief Executive Officer, currently Miranda Trasen, has the ultimate authority over the corporation. Trasen herself is also a majority shareholder, making her the wealthiest human in the galaxy. After the Chiefs of Staff and Board of Directors, power is delegated to Sector Command comprised of the Duty Officers and Central Command Internal Affairs (CCIA) personnel. Sector Command in turn delegates power to individual Station Command personnel.

Branches

With their headquarters in Tau Ceti, NanoTrasen has spread throughout much of human space, digging into every hold the company can find. Here are the locations of their primary and largest branches.

Mendell City, Biesel, Tau Ceti: The Mendell City branch in Zhengfu District oversees much of NanoTrasen’s activity in Biesel. There is a small water garden on the ground floor for public use that is surprisingly serene, considering the owner and the nearby looming skyscraper. Security is extremely tight in the facility, though no simple visitor would be the wiser.

NTCC Odin, Biesel Orbit, Tau Ceti: The NTCC Odin serves as NanoTrasen’s primary administrative center. Broken up into a residential, industrial, and commercial blocks, the NTCC Odin houses employees and helps create more revenue for NanoTrasen. The company’s Emergency Response Teams are also based on the NTCC Odin.

New York City, United Americas, Sol: The New York City branch is responsible for NanoTrasen’s activity in Sol. NanoTrasen’s New York City Headquarters stands directly next to the World Trade Center, considered a very fitting placement by observers. It is rumored the Trasen family penthouse is in the NYC building, though none know for sure.

Oran, Epsilon Eridani, Eridani Corporate Federation: The Oran branch is in charge of NanoTrasen’s activity in the Eridani Federation. Though not as prominent as other megacorporations in Eridani, NanoTrasen manages to keep its place by recruiting Eridanians solely based on talent, ranging from suits to dregs to tunnel runners and everyone between.

Kuenoi, Xanu Prime, Xanu: The Keunoi branch oversees NanoTrasen’s activity across the Coalition of Colonies. As apart of the corporate complex building with the other corporations in Cingnim District, NanoTrasen protects its assets by having a visiting time of one hour, between 3 AM and 4 AM, and imposing heavy fines on “trespassers” and by pushing for harder convictions on corporate espionage charges.

History

Formed in 2346, Nanotrasen started out as a small company, whose research was mostly based around gene-therapy in the heart of human space, Mars. NanoTrasen was effective at patenting methods that lead to more cost effective medical coverage plans for business use, primarily through aggressive business tactics than personal research brilliance. Many minor medical 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 specializing in genetic engineering and medical research.

In 2417, NanoTrasen discovered Phoron in the Tau Ceti system in the Romanovich Cloud. This new resource allowed the generation of immense amounts of electricity and could be used as fuel for FTL travel, out-dating everything that had come before it. NanoTrasen began exploiting this new resource aggressively, setting up numerous stations and outposts in Tau Ceti to exploit the resource while sending out many new probes and drones to discover more.

Research facilities, stations, ships and other installations were being built faster than ever. NanoTrasen, capitalizing on its newfound wealth, managed to bankrupt and absorb many other companies on a larger scale than ever before and soon changed their name to its modern form. 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 Syndicate

The Syndicate is a shadowy intragalactic organization made up of highly-trained, highly funded, and highly dedicated operatives. Their ultimate objective is to destroy Nanotrasen and any government that supports it. Their activities are broad and their methods are varied. The Syndicate is responsible for hundreds of acts of terrorism as well as inciting civil unrest. The Syndicate has had its hand in nearly every major galactic event since the 2440's. It has agents in most other megacorporations and receives financing from them or directly siphon funds - along, reportedly, with supplies from Zavodskoi Interstellar. The Syndicate is also branching out to infiltrate and influence major governments, or to find allies in the various spy agencies.

Their operations in recent years became lulled as the agency began to stagnate in the face of effective Nanotrasen counter-operations or major busts by law enforcement. The organization has had traces of itself scrubbed by Republic officials during this stagnation, binning any and all reference to the Syndicate in face of bribery and other, less polite means of influence from the Company. The major influences on the Syndicate as a whole take little to ascertain - those being Hephaestus and Zavodskoi, as well as Einstein Engines itself. Each decisive strike against NanoTrasen would be for the benefit of seeing its power dwindle, and the slow collapse of the corporate giant could easily be filled in by the vultures circling over their head.

The Criminal Scum and You

Syndicate paraphernalia is not an uncommon sight in dark corners of some NanoTrasen installations, though it is important to consider the steps NanoTrasen has taken to ensure the destruction of this. Most, if not all non-command and security staff characters would have little to no idea of the Syndicate’s existence. Security would know very little beyond the name, and Command would likely recognize the Syndicate as a hidden, or perhaps already long-defeated enemy. Mindshielded individuals would certainly recognize and seek the destruction of Syndicate paraphernalia as it is seen.

Subsidiaries

Getmore Corporation

"Get more of Getmore!”

Getmore Corporation is a major subsidiary of NanoTrasen, often supplying NanoTrasen’s vending machines with their products or helping ship bulk goods for the company.

The company was later acquired by NanoTrasen to supply its facilities, spreading from Mars to the rest of the NanoTrasen’s holdings. Getmore's products are among the most famous junk food brands in all of human space, feeding countless hungry children, college students, and employees.

Ingi Usang Entertainment Company

"Our stars are bigger than real stars!”

Ingi Usang Entertainment Co., abbreviated InUs, is a major subsidiary of NanoTrasen, handling the production, editing, and distribution of holovid shows, music, and other art mediums.

Influence

Though InUs is based in Sol, a number of their holovid shows are prominent through much of the Sol Alliance and somewhat popular in the Republic of Biesel. InUs’s major influence, however, are their musical groups. Members of InUs’s record label are often widely known through Sol Alliance space and their music, clothing lines, and makeup brands are at high demand.

Chief Communication Officer: Yuube Hollenweger, 47, Human

Chief Content Officer: Ishleen Moore-Tissen, 43, Human

Nana’s Network: A holovid network focusing on hobbies with shows like Cooking with Kayal, The Free Folk, and Robust Life.

History

Founded by Songmin Sang in 2214, Ingi Usang Entertainment Company remained a fairly minor corporation until being bought out by NanoTrasen in 2340 for “strategic marketing”. Though InUs faired bettered, it was not until 2397 when Binyaria, a Venusian aerostat, opened the Chiye-Gyo District to corporate investment. Between the untapped Venusian entertainment industry and cutthroat corporate war with BP Entertainment Inc., InUs flourished by debuting musical groups that quickly became insanely popular. In 2438, the company moved its headquarters to the Chiye-Gyo District.

Stations, Merchant Fleet and the Fleet Security Force

The NanoTrasen corporation maintains a large fleet of ships and stations for varying purposes, ranging from research to transport to medical to exploration. These ships form the backbone of NanoTrasen’s transportation of personnel, cargo, and research from system to system and planet to planet.

The military arm of this fleet is known as the NanoTrasen Navy, which is overseen by the Chief Naval Director and his Sector Commanders. The fleet Utilizes ships from simple patrol frigates to impressive drone carriers, like the NMV Icarus that patrols the space around the Aurora and Exodus. Some ships even have attachments of ERT teams that can respond to emergencies across their respective system.

Every mega-corporation has some sort of orbital fleet to protect their assets, but NanoTrasen is notable in that it is the only mega-corporation that fields a fleet completely independent of government contracts or subsidies. This has lead to accusations against NanoTrasen of fielding the equivalent of a mercenary army, one that can easily intimidate governments and is large enough to require a consolidated effort from the entire fading Sol Alliance to defeat.
