History & Background (Dossier)

The corporation was founded by a small consortium of business interests during the later years of the 9th century. It gradually expanded its area of operations, buying out smaller companies, undercutting competitors, and establishing itself as a household name. It made a fortune supplying vital components and subassemblies to heavy engineering firms involved in starship manufacture during the Rim War.

Solomani Security quietly keeps an eye on its activities, particularly with regard to AI and robots, to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but many see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.

Trade Partners

• Confederation Heavy Industries (CHI) LLC, a corporation with interests in heavy engineering and starship manufacture active throughout the trailing half of the Confederation.
• Guardian Military Systems, a major weapons manufacturer.
• Probable Technologies, a scientific research organization involved with academia and heavy industry. It works extensively with the Confederation military.

Trade Competitors

Multiple, chiefly small or medium-sized regional manufacturing concerns. If ZeeCorp can get in on the action it will, and has the resources and leverage to put competitors out of business.
