History & Background (Dossier)

Public Image

Uttakar Marine Biosystems is perceived as a rough, tough, hard-working organization, competing with nature and the perils of marine environments to bring home the catch. The company has a relatively high rate of losses among its surface watercraft due to adverse weather and other natural dangers.

• The Pelagic Division operates watercraft on the surfaces of oceans.
• The Deepwater Division utilizes submersibles.

Uttakar Marine is involved in harvesting very large marine organisms on a number of worlds. It has encountered active resistance from local environmental protection groups who seek to protect the huge creatures. The encounters are generally noisy, often violent, and almost always transmitted to a wide audience via personal media. These images and videos are generally damaging to Uttakar Marine's reputation and corporate image: it has been reported that some company watercraft have been fitted with jamming equipment and are actively boarding protesters vessels and seizing their media devices.
