MarsCo

Mars the eternal. MarsCo has endured seven hundred years of social, political and economic evolution to stand alone as the single largest corporate entity in the solar system. They produce everything: Ships, homes, medicine, books, clothing, food, entertainment, weapons, their scope is unlimited. They are the other and the father of the Vector race, and it is forever and has been forever, their wish to guide them to prosperity and happiness as they push ever outward toward eternity. At least, that’s what the current office is pushing. Give it another fifty years and they’ll change their tune again.
MarsCo is a little less ‘eternal’ than its reputation suggests. Throughout its corporate history, it’s been bought out, bankrupted, traded, revived, merged, split, and shuffled through more owners than any other Corp in the system. By all rights, it’s not the same company it was when it started. But the name carries a lot of power with it; MarsCo WAS the creator of the Vector race, and most living Vectors will at least tip their hats to that. There was a time when one MarsCo CEO attempted to switch ‘respect’ to ‘worship,’ and made a fair degree of headway before his assassination. Since then, the company has shifted to a more ‘parental’ image and fostered the idea of the nurturing force that has always been there and always will.
MarsCo’s size and propagation are almost detrimental to its ability to influence the system. Every megacorp in Sol has an eye on Mars, making sure they don’t muscle in anywhere too hard. Overall fear of its ability to drastically shift the economy keeps fingers on triggers in Mars’ direction, and the company has kept a low profile on the aggression front for centuries lest its larger buildings and stations start spontaneously exploding. They are, however, Sol’s leading manufacturer of ships and stations, and possess the largest fleet in known existence. If Mars were to unite its combined naval assets, it would possess enough firepower to rival the fleets of every other megacorp combined. The chances are unlikely, however. Mars produces with the intent to sell, not staff, and they would have no crews to run the things. At least, none that could be trusted. When your employee roster measures in the billions, you have to expect a great number of rival spies amongst the loyal workers.
Climbing the business ladder in MarsCo is such a monumental task that volumes of books have been published on simply finding out where to start, and to this day no one is really CORPS sure who is sitting on the board. Or even how many boards there are. The Corp is publicly traded and every Vector owns at least a piece of it, as it’s the first purchase made by any Ledger program due to its age, comparatively constant growth and ubiquity.
In the modern-day, most Vectors’ personal experience with MarsCo revolves around simply living as members of its corporation. Mars boasts the highest population in the system and the majority of it is MarsCo-loyal. They also feature the largest and most readily accessible private education sub-corp: Genesis, which boasts the most complete history available in the solar system (because they’ve been there since day one). It’s expensive but universally recognized by other corps.
