Pan Galactic has established a stranglehold on their rival in their homeworlds va teh establishment of a Mining Guild. With the discovery, refining, and transport of minerals being the chief source of income in the system, regulating the activity seemed to be the best bet to down play the up and coming business. Unfortunately for Streele, Incorporated...it's working. While the civilians subject to such regulation don't mind the small fees and tariffs, it forces a higher resale value unto the factories on Pale that need these valuable minerals for industry and production.
