Specializing in Administration. Below the Naval Command and the central Nanotrasen corporation sits twenty-five corporate bureaucracies that compete with the Solarian Federation for most pencils or papers pushed.

CentCom are the ones responsible for the portfolio at the end of the day, much to the chagrin of the company’s enemies. Those who last long enough in NT’s grind for progress to make it to serving CentCom directly are often as jaded as their green uniforms make them out to be – and this, in turn, makes them into one of the most feared armies of inspectors, auditors, bureaucrats and paper pushers in the entirety of the Federation.

Specializing in Frontier Management. Within the farthest reaches of space, and in undeveloped areas, where Central Command cannot efficiently carry out the will of the corporation, the NTCA is instead given power as the supreme commanding body. Their jurisdiction extends to all such colonial holdings where Nanotrasen, rather than a local government, is the principal owner. The main goal of the NTCA is to get undeveloped regions established. Essentially they run colonies through the early stages of terraforming, structural deployment and settlement of colonists, so they may then be handed off to the authority of Central Command as fully developed assets.
While contemporarily stagnated, Nanotrasen's marine corps were previously one of the largest militaries by sheer personnel galactically recognized. Of course, they are now exceeded by grander, warring hegemonies. Nanotrasen's marine corps still have meaningful stakes in the securement of new planetary expansions for the organization, and many inhabited planets under Nanotrasen's authority are thanks to the marine corps and their expert fauna handling. Occasionally, this division is deployed to deal with certain xenological threats, but this is a rare phenomenon.

Having tied itself in well with the Federal establishment, Nanotrasen enjoys a very strong presence within the Core.

From its corporate headquarters in the North American continent, Nanotrasen has very solid roots and foundation from which to exploit the Known Galaxy.

Kesa'aresz had a rocky road integrating into The Federation after the war. The general populace's disdain for both The Federation and Sol bloomed after war when integration attempts had only further destabilized the region, NT simply being lumped into the common Kesa'areszii Lizard's boogeyman that wants to strip them of their Tiziran heritage. Some of the more tame and moderate areas have started to open its arms to Nanotrasen, however most of the state was easily swooned by The Syndicate Conglomerate's appeal to their misfortune and has since been a stronghold of Syndicate support.

'''Theasperri'''
 
Nanotrasen has entrenched itself well within the interior of Theasperri, owing to the state’s history alongside the Federation’s other founders. Nanotrasen provides the Elven curiosities markets with a means to flow unimpeded throughout the rest of the Federation; agricultural and light industrial products are also considered. Nanotrasen is hoping to expand serious NTHI efforts into the state, but has long been stymied by local government environmental regulations and Elven self-determination on the matter.
 
'''Acrisiny'''
 
The colonial nature of the state of Acrisiny has made it fertile ground for corporate ventures, and Nanotrasen’s ventures are no exception to the trend. The Company readily lays claim to the ‘better half’ of the state, and much of the industrialization takes its cues from Nanotrasen rather than the Federal authorities. The profits which Nanotrasen makes are reinvested, at least partially, into the local tech industry, but the truth is that most of it is exported to the rest of the Company’s portfolio.
 
'''Deka’ekare'''
 
The Commonwealth State has always had a slant towards its own ideals and interests, but their integration into the greater Federation has done wonders for the corporate interest. Nanotrasen has taken its fair stake in the state’s resourcing and production capacity. The dual government of Federal interests and a Monarchy concerned mostly with its own people has so far kept the more ravenous urges of Nanotrasen out of Deka’ekare, but NT continues to push for its own growth.
 
'''Rumbuso'''
 
Largely seen as a money sink compared to the more prosperous states, the recovery of the Plumbusian economy has nonetheless been seen as a sign by Nanotrasen to invest heavily. The military-industrial complex that has cropped up in the region is of particular note to the Company, and serves as a useful training ground for Nanotrasen elite (and otherwise) security forces.

== The Blue-Space Navy ==
Being one of the largest spacefaring corporations in the Known Galaxy, NT has a naval arm of significant size, consisting of civilian and military craft fitted to perform a vast array of duties. The Blue-Space Navy is a bit of a play on words, combining the technologies of Bluespace with their voidcraft travel, but most signficantly, a Navy so vast they paint space their corporate color, blue.
 
Though there is a dispraportionate ratio of Civilian to Military spacecraft (partly due to Galactic Federal Law, partly due to logistics), the Nanotrasen Navy sits on a near-unlimited source of civilian spacecraft, producing them by the thousands continuously, only quickening in the growing Federation. Nanotrasen shipping vessels and Orbital Stations are constantly being manufactured to feed into the space-industrialization machine that is Nanotrasen.
 
When it comes to Military spacecraft, more particularily the larger vessels of Nanotrasen's Navy, there aren't a massive amount (not including very small patrol, scout, and strike crafts). This isn't to say that Nanotrasen's military-focused navy isn't big, because it is, it's not big when compared navies such as The Federation, however Nanotrasen is one of the few corporations to have a navy consisting of both small and large spacecraft, something most corporations aren't able to achieve (usually only having small spacecraft and a small handful of larger spacecraft at most).
 
'''Large Spacecraft'''
 
Here is a list of large spacecraft in the Nanotrasen Navy
 
<u>Lancaster-Class Frigate</u>: A capable ship of the line, designed as a backbone assault ship. Equipped with missiles, anti-ship turbolazers, and ballistic cannons. Equipped with a hangar bay for strike craft, as well as additional space for supernumaries such as Marines.

Mission Statement

Mandated by Terran lore, Nanotrasen is often mocked for its contemporarily misleading mission statement which is still plastered among their space station and marketing implements today.

"Innovation for tomorrow. Nanotechnology for today. With Nanotrasen, you're with the future."

Description

Headquarters Decentralized Organization
Company Type Limited Company (Incorporation)
Demographics No species majority
Governance Solarian Federation
Firm Size Not on public record
Leadership Board of Directors, Advisory Council
Year Established 19XX; Censored on public record
Majority Languages Galactic Common, Canilunzt

If you were to ask a random civilian, stretching from the spinward side of the known economic zone, to the anti-spinward side, "What's the largest corporation?", there's a big chance they'd say "Nanotrasen". Since early 2100, long after Nanotrasen began its spacefaring endeavors. Nanotrasen has its hands in about every market the average person could name, and if there's profit to be made, the monolithic organization that is Nanotrasen is probably interested.

Nanotrasen began its ventures in nanotechnology - primarily computer chips, but this quickly grew into microbiology, microengineering, and before long, quantum engineering. However, Nanotrasen would quickly saturate this market, and when there's no more market share to be had, the company's founder had to diversify. Nanotrasen's age of conglomeration, spanning some one-hundred and fifty years, saw its growth into over three hundred markets throughout the Terran economic zone; the organization's contributions to galactic research, and its hegemony status allowed the organization to found itself as an auspicious benefactor. Indeed, Nanotrasen wasn't always so dubious in its practices, and the company's founder was a notable philanthropist before his wounding in the Tiziran-aggressed race wars of 2455.

Regardless, Nanotrasen is now a vast megalith throughout the known economic zone; the self-sustainability of its space stations setting Nanotrasen's bottom line being notoriously hard to print on a graph measured in anything less than trillions. Nanotrasen's military presence has also given the organization a large stake in the paramilitary, mercenary, and protections sector, though its resource extraction ventures, stripping any and all asteroids and planets alike for anything of value. Unless, of course, they can hold life: lifetime labour is much more profitable than a few million tons of iron now, after all.

History

Nanotrasen’s existence as a corporate entity stems back to the time before the Terran Government was integrated into the Federation. In those auspicious times, Nanotrasen was but one of many competitors in the scene of scientific research and High Tech Industries. The Company was a forerunner in the study of plasma, the space race and many other general fields. These ventures made Nanotrasen prominent, but it had yet to eclipse its rivals.

While Nanotrasen was still in the stages of struggling for its piece of the action, the Federation was in the process of unification. Even without the effects of the War with Tizira in consideration, the fusion of Sol’s markets with that of the greater Federation precipitated a rough climate for business. Many companies would begin to fall off at this point, but not Nanotrasen. The Company adapted, spreading far and wide within the Federation’s markets, and spearheading development efforts wherever it could.

The truly big break for Nanotrasen, however, would be the discovery of the alternate dimension/phenomenon known as bluespace. The prospect of an unlimited space, unconstrained by the laws of Einsteinian and Newtonian reality, proved to be the scientific breakthrough that would bring in the funding and sales to elevate Nanotrasen above any and all competition – even its well-pedigreed East Asian rival, Cybersun Industries, was not quite able to keep up with Nanotrasen’s growth after the discovery of bluespace.

In the present time, Nanotrasen sits at the top of a mega corporate hegemony with seemingly no end to its reach. Yet, the giant has made many enemies through its means of expansion, and a shadow war abounds…

Corporate Culture

While Nanotrasen, as an organization, does not actively seek to impose any particular ethos upon its employees and residents, outside of nominal loyalty, a rich corporate culture has sprung up both from the top and the rankers. Perhaps more so than even other Human corporations, Nanotrasen has a distinct Terracentric vibe in the way that it operates, from holiday traditions on the surface, to the innate demand for progress and profit at the expense of other virtues. This is a notion, of course, made as a result of Nanotrasen’s continued headquartering on Earth.

Beyond this, however, the main cultural drive in Nanotrasen is making things better for everybody… and making significant money in the process, if at all possible. By encouraging its employees and residents to be voracious consumers to the core, Nanotrasen has created an environment in which the free market is not only supported, but venerated happily by the people. As long as it’s a good Nanotrasen day, nothing can trouble the average citizen. Or so they say.

Corporate Divisions

Central Command (CC)

Specializing in Administration. Below the Naval Command and the central Nanotrasen corporation sits twenty-five corporate bureaucracies that compete with the Solarian Federation for most pencils or papers pushed. The many adjuncts of Central Command are responsible for the day-to-day administration and management of countless souls working for, or alongside, Nanotrasen.

Those who last long enough in NT’s grind for progress to make it to serving CentCom directly are often as jaded as their green uniforms make them out to be – and this, in turn, makes them into one of the most feared armies of inspectors, auditors, bureaucrats and paper pushers in the entirety of the Federation.

Nanotrasen Naval High Command (NTNHC)

Nanotrasen's primary military arm, specializing in war fleets. While the NTNHC has arms dedicated to research, production, and manufacturing of arms, Nanotrasen isn't renowned for its war efforts. In fact, the last major conflict Nanotrasen participated in was over 50 years ago, following a limited armistice with the Syndicate High Command. Despite this, Nanotrasen has not let itself be de-armed, and continues to produce some of the most powerful weapons throughout the Terran economic zone. Nanotrasen's navy is primarily known for its cordialness in communications, as many of the NTNHC members were hired due to their former experience in the Solarian Federation's much more impressive navy. Co-operation and defense treaties with the Solarian Federation mean that Nanotrasen rarely have to step in with their own large arms, but nonetheless their warships peruse their economic expanse.

Nanotrasen Marine Corps (NTMC)

While contemporarily stagnated, Nanotrasen's marine corps were previously one of the largest militaries by sheer personnel galactically recognized. Of course, they are now exceeded by grander, warring hegemonies. Nanotrasen's marine corps still have meaningful stakes in the securement of new planetary expansions for the organization, and many inhabited planets under Nanotrasen's authority are thanks to the marine corps and their expert fauna handling. Occasionally, this division is deployed to deal with certain xenological threats, but this is a rare phenomenon.

Nanotrasen Research and Development (NTRND)

Nanotrasen's fastest growing business sector, the NTRND division was formally established as a corporate branch in 2252 following strong competition from nearby canine spacefarers and their proprietary engine technology. Before this, Nanotrasen had small research arms of multiple other divisions, but all of their research is now centralized into one large arm of the corporation as a whole.

Business Subsidiaries of Nanotrasen

Nanotrasen Scientific Computing: Specializing in High Technology Systems. The first of Nanotrasen’s business ventures was in the field of high-tech computing, particularly for academic use. NTSC has long since been overshadowed by other components of Nanotrasen’s portfolio, but the use of in-house development for Nanotrasen’s computers has allowed them to bolster their research capabilities and provide a reliable technical base for other elements of the company to utilize.

Nanotrasen Heavy Industry: Specializing in Mining and Refining Operations. Nanotrasen’s second major business venture was the acquisition and merger of a number of Earth’s faltering extraction concerns. The subsequent discovery of plasma and its related industrial uses became the foundation for the consolidated NTHI. By combining the value of plasma, the standard mineral wealth of space, and their technical experience from before, Nanotrasen has developed for itself a very robust and sustainable industrial base. This industrial base, in turn, produces virtually every kind of light and heavy machinery that the corporation could require, or export.

Nanotrasen Nutrients and Agriscience: Specializing in Agriculture and Foodstuffs. A later development formed from the necessity of Nanotrasen-backed colonies on the frontier, and one that has been finding more favor with the Executive Board as the deals between Nanotrasen and the Syndicate-aligned Donk Corporation grow ever more sour. NTNAS is the answer to both of these problems, pioneering advances in modern farming techniques and food synthesis, while keeping the food economy both cheap and tightly entwined with the Nanotrasen brand.

Nanotrasen Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals (NTPC)

Specializing in Chemistry. Another of Nanotrasen’s early acquisitions was a set of companies producing a wide range of beneficial (and harmful) substances for the betterment of Humanity, and later other citizens of the Federation. NTPC leverages the Company’s continuous flow of resources to produce the chemicals which life simply cannot live without in the era of technology.

Nanotrasen Futures and Securities

It has not been sufficient for Nanotrasen to simply dominate the market. It must become the market itself, through and through. Such a mantra is the reasoning and logic behind the operation of the Company’s in-house stock brokerage. Acting for the benefit of both employees and the Company as a whole, NTFS provides highly-valued financial services and oversight, and is licensed by the Federal authorities to handle securities transactions for clients throughout Nanotrasen’s corporate space.

Influence in The Solarian Federation

Federation Core

Having tied itself in well with the Federal establishment, Nanotrasen enjoys a very strong presence within the upper echelons of the Solarian Federation's centralized council. The rule of law has lent itself well to the stable, structured form of business that Nanotrasen purveys, and the spacer culture present in the wider Solarian Federation and its members has likewise been favorable for Nanotrasen’s spread of market influence.

Terra, or the Terran Government (TerraGov)

From its local corporate headquarters in the North American continent, Nanotrasen has very solid roots and foundation from which to exploit the known economic zones. Nanotrasen has since maintained a good working relationship with its home government and the two have been involved in a long laundry list of collaborations. It would seem that as long as the light of Sol shines, Nanotrasen will be conducting business guided by that light.
