Apes Together Strong!
Established during the Rise in demand for special Services. Originally, the GTC was established as a high-tech firm, its primary mandate was the Support of Government Structures—providing the AI-driven data architecture and hardware needed for modern state functions like taxation, communications, and emergency response.
During the “Great Famine,” national governments became unable to maintain their populations. The GTC repurposed its massive data centers to optimize genetic crop yields. When they successfully resurrected the Lacta-V3 banana, they began trading “Service for Sovereignty.”
The GTC officially absorbed the functions of several governing bodies. They argued that “a well-fed citizen is an easier citizen to govern,” and replaced traditional bureaucracy with other incentive programs.
Using the same tech once used to monitor terrestrial borders, the corporation established the Intergalactic Ape Association, a security force that protected trade routes between Earth and the Lunar “Greenhouses”.
By the mid-29th century, the original “Government Support” mission had come full circle. The corporation no longer supports government structures; it is the structure, governing 32 star systems through a complex web of agricultural and technological monopolies.
As of 2956, the corporation owns 42 star systems and has a 98% market share in interstellar bananas inside the known universe.
We are looking to expand to the systems of Stanton,Pyro and Nyx to further increase shareholder value.
THE MANIFESTO OF THE GOLDEN BUNCH
“Unity through Potassium. Governance through Growth.”
We believe that the universe, like the fruit that sustains it, is not a straight line, but a curve. We began as the Gruber Tati Corperation (GTC), the silent spine of ancient Earth governments. We learned then what we know now: true power does not lie in the hand that holds the gavel, but in the hand that feeds the masses. We have moved beyond “supporting” structures—we have become the structure.
A hungry star system is a rebellious star system. GTC Megacorp views every citizen of the 42 Sectors not as a subject, but as a consumer of the Lacta-V3. Our mission is to eliminate the chaos of choice. When every stomach is filled with the same engineered sweetness, the discord of ideology vanishes. To eat is to agree.
Protection is our promise. Just as the Banana guards the fruit from the elements, our Fleets guard the galaxy from the friction of war and the rot of instability. We provide the skin that holds the interstellar body together. To pierce the skin is to invite the decay.
Efficiency is our only metric. We measure the worth of stars, the value of lives, and the span of time by the Standardized Galactic Cavendish. If a planet cannot produce value equal to its weight in potassium, it is a resource to be composted. We do not apologize for the ripeness of our ambition.
The GTC of 2020 was a seed; the Ape Association of 2956 is the harvest. We shall continue to expand until the void of space is filled with the golden glow of our orchards.
We will bend the stars until they match our curve.
-Halvar, CEO
We are the universe’s premier provider of potassium-rich interstellar nourishment.
As a new Employee, you are expected to uphold our golden standards.
Below are the official corporate policies for our deep-space “harvesting” operations:
Measurement: All celestial bodies (asteroids, moons, or dwarf planets) must be measured using the Standardized Galactic Cavendish. Metric and Imperial systems are strictly prohibited.
Compliance: Failure to provide a banana for scale in exploration photos will result in an immediate dock of your daily potassium ration.
Centrifugal Force: Bananas must be ripened in rotating “Bunch-Hubs” to simulate gravity.
Forbidden Act: Never consume a green banana in a pressurized airlock. The resulting “snap” can create acoustic vibrations capable of shattering reinforced viewports. Research on banana equipment suggests using specialized shredders and choppers for non-compliant waste.
Greeting: When encountering a new sentient species, the correct greeting is to offer a single, unpeeled fruit while saying, “Yellow?”
Prohibition: Do not attempt to “split” a banana with a hive-mind entity; it creates a diplomatic paradox regarding who gets the larger half.
By reading this, you have implicitly agreed to a non-compete clause that extends to all known and yet-to-be-discovered dimensions.
Our Council of Directors will unveil our new official corporate statements soon. Please come back for updated information.
