History

The Formation of Astracom

ASTRACOM was originally a few different companies that existed around 2867 that merged together to form what the company is today. Consisting of the bones of Astral Security Concern and Cameron, Oscar & Malcom Industrial Triumvirate, the new company took on a combination of both names— forming ASTRACOM.

Taking on both the responsibilities of security contracting on top of resource and trade, ASTRACOM began to make its way in the ‘Verse, taking on security for many different corporations and government entities within the UEE, eventually merging some of them into their structure to expand their trade and resource endeavors.

Soon, ASTRACOM became interested in the endeavors of hiring other alien races within the company, with many Tevarin making up the security division, and some Xi’an even making it to the ranks of their logistics division. Opening a branch office on Branaugh II, ASTRACOM keeps a steady employment of Tevarin, as well as having it’s headquarters stationed in space above the UEE’s project, Synthworld. Using contracts from the UEE, ASTRACOM has business with transporting goods to construction sites all over the Synthworld.

Corporate Animosity Leads to Unexpected Growth

ASTRACOM’s presence on Branaugh II led to animosity between the company and the former corporation of Halcyon Dynamics. During HALDYN’s tenure on the planet, hostilities grew between both corporations, and given the location of both the ASTRACOM branch office, and the entirety of HALDYN’s headquarters, it led to full-blown corporate warfare.

In the 30 years that HALDYN existed on Branaugh II, ASTRACOM had finally brought the corporation to it’s proverbial knees— in 2953, a hostile take over happened, leading ASTRACOM to forcibly merge HALDYN into it’s corporate structure. Converting whatever was left of HALDYN’s corporate holdings, ASTRACOM proceeded to take the new merger in stride, conducting business on old contracts that HALDYN had let fall to the wayside.

After the takeover of HALDYN’s old properties and assets, ASTRACOM began to formulate better training and structure for its ground and astronautical forces in the security sector, recruiting old UEE veterans into the corporate workforce to better train and equip ASTRASEC.

The Stanton Office

Despite ASTRACOM’s contracts with the UEE, the company wanted to expand its borders— and what better way to expand its borders than to open up a corporate office within Stanton. After working out a beneficial deal with Crusader Industries, the ASTRACOM opened up its doors to the Stanton system at CRU-L1 Ambitious Dream.

ASTRACOM offers its services in security to small trade caravans and mining operations that occur within the system with other fledgling corporations on top of working with small tramp freighters and independent traders. This office is starting to see considerable monetary gains and stands to benefit from the contract it has with Crusader Industries. Soon, ASTRACOM will have other contracts with Hurston Dynamcis and MicroTech to open up other offices on their subsequent stations.
