Start-up
Sections: Corporation Table, GM Notes, News, PDF map (124k)
Eight Corporations are poised to exploit the quadrant, though more may arrive. SIRIUS CYBER (SC) with their charismatic and famous Chairman are expected to have some influence. COSTA NOSTRA COFFEE, INC (CNCI) have a slight lead in this area to begin with. HAPPY FEATURES (HF) start with a production facility in Isotopes at Sigma Draconis, while MINING & MORE (M&M) have Alloys Factories at Gamma Leporis. AMALGAMATED INTERSTELLAR METALS, INC (AIM) have agent Ferret on their books and TRADIAETH A MASNACHWYR TEGWEN (TMT) have slightly better Navigators than anyone else. The last two Corporations both have a second ship. HARRIMAN ENTERPRISES (HE) have the two older, yet robust Corco Zeta Hulls, while PETROLEUM & OTHER COLONIAL GOODS (PCG) has a streamlined Piccolo hull in its line-up.
