\\Corporation Incorporated Official Record

\\Record Begins

In 2121, after losing a bet, Corporation Incorporated (CorpInc) was founded by Steve Castle to be a supply contractor for the terraforming project on Mars. Business was going very well, with Corp Inc. having a fleet of 42 starships using the dated, albeit cheap Quantum Drive Engine mk1 invented by RSI back 2075. The ships would have the occasional hiccup (see attachment I: Explosive Quantum Bits) but Corp Inc. accepted the losses as necessary for the sake of their country, and some whispered for the stockholders. On September 13, 2125 at approximately 08:00Z, the Corp Inc. ship Spruce Goose was on final approach to Mars’ sphere of influence. Due to an unfortunate error among the crew, she crashed into the surface of Mars, killing the entire crew and destroying her cargo. According to records, the cargo was a chemical compound that was to be used by the RSI terraforming device to finalize the process so the project could be considered a success. (See attachment II: 2125: A Dark Day). The government covered-up the crash of the Spruce Goose (since Corp Inc. was the cheapest supply contractor by 4000%) by telling their families they landed safely but died when the atmosphere collapsed. Corp Inc. continued to transport supplies for the terraforming project on Mars and it was finally completed in 2157.

Almost a century later, with no major mishaps (See attachment III: 2214: The Sun is Hot) Corp Inc. was contracted to aid in the development of the AI system, Janus, onboard the spaceship Artemis. A couple of engineers “volunteered” to go along with the Artemis to ensure the AI was functioning properly. The ship disappeared (see attachment IV: Neso Triangle Jump Point) and was never heard from again. An in-house engineering report found that Janus would not have been able to put the crew back into stasis once awakened (see attachment V: Missing Semicolons).

In 2250, Corp Inc. had record high stocks (see attachment VI: Congratulations on ¤107 UEC) and decided to start looking into developing their own technology. After almost a decade, Corp Inc. released their first line of products including the “Solar Powered Lunar Observatory” and their own “Quantum Unentangler”. These ideas caused the simple-minded stockholders to immediately sell off all of their assets, causing the company to seemingly disappear overnight.

It wasn’t until 2902, that Corp Inc. started operations again, and H.G.B. inherited the company, (see attachment VII: Found this in My Attic) along with the remaining assets. Having always wanted to build his own starship, he set out to build a ‘revolutionary’ class of exploration ship with the remaining assets. Things were looking really good for The Stool Pigeon until there was an unfortunate accident during its maiden voyage (see attachment VIII: Explosive Decompression). After learning that space is in fact, a vacuum, H.G.B. hired a team of crack engineers to come up with an even sleeker design and the fruits of their labor was the Stool Pigeon II. The Stool Pigeon II was a marvel of engineering (see attachment IX: At Least it looks Cool) and was equipped with a copy of the latest and greatest software suite. Since Stool Pigeon II didn’t explode on her maiden voyage, H.G.B. wanted to see the ship in action for himself and gathered a crew to traverse the galaxy and find buyers for his ship design. Records say two days into the voyage an engineer at the central computer fell asleep, allowing the screensaver to engage (see attachment X: Sponsors) causing a total power failure. The crew and H.G.B. were killed when the ship drifted into the hangar bay of a Vanduul Kingship.

After a lengthy court battle over whether H.G.B. was still alive and if the company assets were controllable by the board of directors a compromise was reached where H.G.B.’s distant 6th cousin Jebediah was appointed as company President. Along with his two associates Bill and Bob, they have since bought an Idris frigate along with a small fleet of ships. The current plan is to bring Corp Inc. back from the ashes, to rise among the corporate juggernauts!

Attachment VII: Found this in My Attic: H.G.B found the title to Corp Inc. in a box he found in his attic which contained possessions passed down through his family. He took the title to the bank that was miraculously still around to see how much is was worth. The company had ¤2.45 UEC left in its saving account in 2250 and with an average interest rate of 2% over the last 650 years, was worth ¤953,405.67 UEC.

Attachment X: Sponsors: As part of the deal to use ‘Operating’ System 2900, Incorporated Corporations Inc. required us to run an advertisement for them in the computers screensaver. We later found out, that because of the way the ship was wired, letting the screensaver kick on caused the ship to catastrophically lose all power. The engineering staff had been informed to just to give the computer a push from time to time.

Manifesto

Our Mission

Our mission is simple. If there is a way to capitalize from it, we do it. Spare no perso…we mean expense!

What we offer

Transportation

Do you need something shipped on time with the guarantee that the couriers would rather die than surrender your cargo?

We personally insure your cargo and guarantee that it will arrive on-time and in one piece or your money back!

Economics

Building a business is hard enough without the worry of the economy. Corporation Inc. provides various services for aspiring entrepreneurs to help you get on your feet. You ask us, we’ll do it!

Training

Space is rough, between the Vanduul, pirates, and the occasional space whale, your bound to get your rear end served to you on a silver platter several times. We offer heavy discounts to new adventurers to help them get started in the verse. Fly around with us in your clunker ship, borrow one of ours, or even serve as a temporary crew member on our flagship, The Sitting Duck. We promise to get you up to speed with the latest techniques and can provide you information on how to find a good deal or even make a quick buck.

Security

We all know that the Vanduul are dangerous. What you don’t know is that only several crews out there are actually ‘brave’ enough to go toe-to-toe with them.
