Godspeed Mining Corp

Starting out as a mining corporation, the company soon took control of their own trade and shipping.
Nowadays it is a thriving megacorporation with a huge presence in the outskirts of Terran space.
As one of the most expansive corporations in frontier space, their power and influence doesn't seem like it's slowing down anytime soon.

Public Agenda

The focus of Godspeed MC is mining ressources from foreign world to better the life of the Terran people.

History

Godspeed MC started as a family mining company on Terra, and was among the first companies to fully embrace interstellar mining.
They were the first company to gather enough capital to financiate a full scale move to Mars and actively mine the astroid belt in Sol.

Territories

The corporation deals only in the Outskirts, where they have been granted rights to govern over a larger section of systems.
A risingly common tradition to encourage the expanding of Terran controlled space.

Military

Working in the Outskirts have their possible hazards from dangerous wildlife to opportunistic space pirates.
To keep their convoys safe, they are escorted by some destroyer ships, and a cruiser is constantly in patrol of a larger area.

Technological Level

The company focuses heavily on lasers for use in both mining and defensive weaponry.
They have their own scientific division focusing on developing mining tech and their own manufactory.

Agriculture & Industry

Manufactoring of mining equipment is a large part of the company's work.
There are factories doing all the work from the unrefined minerals to applicable end products.

Trade & Transport

As most of their business lies in the outskirts of surveyed space, there is seldom more traffic than their own convoys, which follow a route linking the Spacestations along their path.

Education

The importance of making quotas and being ahead of the curve, drives the company to give their workers focused educations based on their "tier" in the company. The education quality of the tiers range greately.

Infrastructure

After the initial surveys of a solar system, if one or more planetary bodies are suitable for mining, the first thing created is a starbase in orbit of the biggest prospect.
After the Starbase is set up, if atmosphere is breathable, a couple of company towns are set out at hopeful areas on the surface.

I made this world because my mind keeps rambling, and instead of stopping it, I'm riding the wave.
It started with a picture in my mind of a tiger man in a small spacecraft following a giant tiger in space, in the tone of old saturday morning cartoons and the Heavy Metal animated movie.
Then came the idea of his occational ally, a woman in space flying a small asteroid. The more I wrote on her, the more I got intrigued by the past, I deviced.
Right now the flow is focused on her background - namely all related to The Genesis Project.
I do all of the writing and almost all of the drawing myself at this point.
My hope for Star Tiger is a published story or a graphical novel, but my big dream is an animated show.
