Corporate pocket empire created by the corporate government on Alekhine in 602. Its power derived from trade monopolies with the Mal G'Nar, Die Weltbund subssectors and the Mapepire Cluster.
Competition was brutally suppressed by the Syndicate fleet. Their downfall came in a protracted conflict with Traders Beyond (forerunners of Webrunners), a cartel of free traders, who turning pirate harassed Syndicate shipping from rimward bases in the Beyond. In 903, the conflict accelerated as Traders Beyond and its allies strangled the shipping lanes, causing Die Weltbund to cancel Alekhine's contract and start their own shipping line. The Mal'Gnar joined the war soon after, causing the Syndicate's total defeat by 911. As a result of defeat, the Syndicate lost control of subject worlds and by 923 was restricted to Alekhine itself. The resulting economic depression saw the overthrow of the Alekhine plutocrats in 932.
