Conquest incorporated

Brief

Conquest Incorporated (also Conquest Inc., or CI) is a self-governing corporate entity that has only recently cast away the last shreds of government oversight. Stepping forth from Sol into a brave new world of unconfined horizons brimming with the possibility of staggering profit, Conquest Incorporated is seeking to restructure itself. Reforging four longstanding corporate giants - each a trillion credit business in its own right - into a new and greater whole, Conquest Inc. is reorienting to move into the interstellar market. Absolutely everything is for sale at suspiciously low prices as the megacorporation seeks new friends and customers in an ever-changing universe.

The Big Four

At the time Conquest Incorporated became solvent, the Big Four had been downsizing, innovating and warring over diverse sectors of the market for centuries, gradually wearing down the feeble, long-forgotten national government until it reached its nadir as the Economic Oversight Committee, which itself was violently sundered. While the demographic makeup of Conquest Incorporated employees is generally heterogeneous, the uppermost corporate echelons of the Big Four have managed to maintain distinct racial identities over the centuries. These racial enclaves range in size from Triumph's 8.7 million Japanese descendents to TerraTech's 17 million Han Chinese, and form the highest strata of the CI social and economic spectrum.

Rhinemetall Enterprises

"Developers and producers of top tier military material for well over two centuries, Rhinemetall favors rugged, durable and efficient designs over insubstantial flash and glitter. These level-headed priorities have proven to be exactly the right ones for many a satisfied costumer in a universe where history is, after all, written by the victors."

Widely considered the most ruthless and gouging of the Four, Rhinemetall Enterprises had grown quietly on the periphery, doing a brisk export trade in cheap but durable military equipment and munitions over many decades. Snapping up smaller corporations less directly linked to arms manufacturing, Rhinemetall gradually established itself as a proper monopoly, with stakes in the computer, vehicle and genetics markets. Rhinemetall Enterprises has been owned and operated by Northern Europeans since its inception, primarily German or otherwise Germanic, but by no means limited exclusively to those backgrounds.

TerraTech Industries

A one-stop shop for any consumer, be it the nation-state in search of raw steel or the discerning individual on the prowl for the very finest consumer products, TerraTech is proud and pleased to be the foremost business for industrial and consumer goods.

TerraTech Industries comprises the 'Other' category, manufacturing everything from high-end cosmetics to mining equipment to low-end cosmetics. The oldest and by far largest of the Four, TerraTech has maintained the preeminent position despite centuries of jockeying by the other Three. Only in recent decades has Rheinmetall begun to close the gap. TerraTech's longstanding oligarchs are primarily of Han Chinese origin.

Hammond Aerospace

The sky is the limit! Pioneering developers of both civilian and military air- and spacecraft, Hammond Aerospace is poised to take advantage of the coming upsurge in CI’s interstellar investment. Innovation and power go hand in hand, and nowhere is that wise notion more completely accepted than at Hammond Aerospace, visionaries of flight for nearly three hundred years.
