1> Streele, Incorporated

Streele, Incorporated (Streele, Inc. or SI for short) has been in business for just over 90 years, starting off as a small operation on Pale and expanding rapidly into other worlds. Currently they have offices on both Pale & New Pale as well as Gollywog, Gran Quivera, Hentz, Ken'zah-Kit, Laco, Lossend, Minotaur, Terledrom, Triad, and Yast (not to mention most orbital stations around the Frontier). Only Pan Galactic Conglomerates has them beaat, with an office on every world larger than an outpost. In that regard, only SI has interests on the two outpost worlds (Laco and Lossend), but rest assured PGC has eyes on both worlds.

Within Truane's Star, Streele Incorporated is it. There is no other business with a stronger foothold. Pan Galactic has established a Mining Guild to regulate the major trade within the system, but their fledgling offices on Pale & New Pale are, well...quite "pale" by comparison. Despite this, PGC has established themselves as a corporate antagonist to Streele in their home territory.

Three generations worth of Streeles have led the company this far, although John III finds himself in the precarious position of contemplating shrewd practices to stay ahead of the threat that PGC has positioned in their back yard.

Jonathan Streele III


Jonathan Streele III has recently assumed the mantle of corporate executive officer over Streele, Incorporated. His grandfather founded the business under morally strong business ethics just over 90 years ago following the initial colonizing of Pale. That business model seems to have worked rather well, seeing as Streele, Inc. eventually expanded with offices in New Pale and also owns the spaceship construction center orbitting Pale which is capable of producing ion driven starships (but for the most part is entrusted to build the system ships in use within Truane's Star).

Growing up under a large corporate business afforded a well rounded education for John. He adapted to the technological field quickly, but also studied under private security forces and developed a high degree of self defense, attaining near-master status in martial arts and hand to hand combat. Pity the street thug who tries to mug him!

Mining has become the most profitable business venture in Truane's Star, supporting Pale's industrial factories which enables efficient trade with New Pale's abundant agricultural resources. However, the establishment of a Mining Guild in recent years has become a slight deterrant to Pale's industrial complexes, as miners have begun to charge more for their ores due to membership fees. More expensive resources translates to more expensive industrial goods which translates to more expensive agricultural goods.

The Guild maintains a fleet of patrol craft to enforce member dues, and their influence has been known to affect local militias of both worlds. The Guild has offices aboard both orbital stations and answers to Pan Galactic Conglomerates, who foversees the project. John has recently issued a press statement by publicly defining the Mining Guild as a menace to peace and prosperity within Truane's Star.

John continues to run Streele, Inc. under the successful model that his forefathers have instilled, but the pressure applied by the Mining Guild could be enough to tip Streele's hand with creative yet shrewd attempts at dodging the Guild's efforts.

If you have a problem with the taxation from PGC, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire on with the SI team.
