Genesis Star Interstellar
"Masters of Progress"
Genesis Star Interstellar is a relatively young but very ambitious company, remaining alert to any opportunity that may present itself. The corporation relies on a quick wit and raw strength to get what they want, a trait that can sometimes make them seem aggressive and somewhat reckless. For Genesis Star hesitation means loss and any failure is quickly covered up by a success elsewhere. They are considered to be very anti-imperial and like to blame Omegaton Industries for illicit federal support that would cause market unbalance had it not been for their presence on the planet.
Unverified rumors claim that the Federal Empire gave Genesis Star access to Calypso because they give quick results, thus encouraging the other corporations to increase their own rate of planetary development. Indeed Genesis Star finished their initial part of the imperial contract before all the other corporations. The Federal Empire saw this as proof of their strength and a clear signal to the other two dominant corporations that Genesis Star Interstellar is a very competitive force to reckon with.
Quotes made by Genesis Star about:
Chikara OmniWorld: "Silence doesn't mean wisdom, it's just a sign of hidden weakness."
Omegaton Industries: "We'll watch you squirm in the imperials claws till you choke, and when they are done with you we'll be there to pick your bones and help scatter your ashes."
Genesis Star: "We have risen from the ashes of the past to burn as bright as a guiding star into the future."
Chikara OmniWorld Corporation
"The power to shape worlds"
Chikara OmniWorld Corporation is a very stringent and powerful organization. It's renowned for its firm stance on solid ground and is proud of its long business tradition. They value the traits of wisdom, discipline and honor, which result in their strength and stability. Their standing and power allows them to be patient and observant, which can sometimes makes them seem rather slow in taking initiatives but when they act, they actwith great force in the right place and at the right time.
The seniority of the mighty corporation helps to insure a peaceful community on Calypso, even though its presence is strongly opposed by Genesis Star Interstellar. Some refer to it as yet another clever diversion by the Federal Empire to keep political activity within the Genesis Star administration at bay, a rumor Chikara OmniWorld officials have chosen not to comment on.
Quotes made by Chikara OmniWorld about:
Genesis Star: "A stubborn child needs to be observed by wiser eyes"
Omegatech Industries: "Loyalty is only a virtue if it's equally respected by both sides"
Chikara OmniWorld: "Power in itself is worth nothing unless you know how to harness and control it."
Omegaton Industries
"Enlightens your Mind"
Omegaton Industries is known as a survivor. During the centuries before Calypsos discovery, it struggled hard to gain access to new market resources, driving the corporation dangerously close to the brink of ruin on several occasions. Their risk taking and persistence however, did pay off in the end. Omegaton Industries put the first humans on Calypso, a historical event which has been somewhat overshadowed by the ensuing robot wars, which forced the corporation to sign parts of the company over to the Federal Empire in order to escape financial collapse. This new influence did nonetheless secure their position as a leading interstellar corporation. Even though Omegaton were reluctant to relinquish control to a federal administration, it had little choice, and the corporation is now pledged to follow many imperial directives. Many of the leading individuals in control of Omegaton are trying to cut the cords of association with the Empire.
The corporation values loyalty and hard work above all else, a trait that has helped them survive the worst of times and which has also made them a trustworthy ally for the Federal Empire. Backed up by a strong federal economy, the struggle for survival is now based on keeping the new partners satisfied, a fact regarded as a waste of power to some of the more prominent owners of the company.
Quotes by Omegaton Industries about:
Chikara OmniWorld: "They are strong enough to allow themselves to be observant, and they are wise enough to keep silent about what they see."
Genesis Star: "They are kept away by the same shadow that keeps us under its protective shade, like little children afraid of the dark and of what dwells therein."
Omegaton Industries: "It may look dark living under the shadow of another, but at least it's safe"
