Description (Portfolio)

History & Background (Dossier)

Makhidkarun, Sharurshid, and Naasirka were originally regional government agencies providing a broad range of services to the worlds of the First Imperium. When that empire fell (collapsed), the three bureaux transformed themselves into quasi-private companies performing much the same services as before. Over the course of centuries, each has expanded into the others’ territories, and all three are strong competitors throughout the Imperium.

• Makhidkarun, one of the three original Vilani bureaux, originated with the aristocracy or Enshii, and emphasized interstellar government. Sometime in the shrouded mists of the Long Night, it transformed into a megacorporation. All that can be stated with certainty is that its corporate form pre-dates the Third Imperium.

  • Makhidkarun has attempted to gain access to the famed archaeological site, Crash Jura. It hopes to acquire a few recovered works of art (apparently plundered by the Saie from subject races like the Yn-tsai and the Lhshana), in order to reproduce them and put these reproductions on the market. Charges of unethical conduct have been leveled at Makhidkarun as a result of these efforts.
