Sharurshid.png

Sharurshid originated with the merchant class or Badenkii and its interstellar trade and was one of the three Vilani bureaux.

Following the Third Interstellar War, Sharurshid (Anglic: Sharurshid)’s central management was able to construct large numbers of the new design Agidda (Anglic: Agidda) class Attack Cruiser.

Governance & Organization

The Sharurshid Trust is the overall owning concern of the Sharurshid (Anglic: Sharurshid) megacorporation. The Trust maintains significant holdings, beyond the 46% ownership of the corporation itself, which it has delegated administrative responsibilities for to Sharurshid (Anglic: Sharurshid) corporate leadership.

History & Background (Dossier)

Sharurshid, Makhidkarun, 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 Third Imperium.

  • The company originated as one of the three Vilani bureaux. It grew with the merchant class and interstellar trade. Sharurshid descended from the Badenkii (wealthy Industrial magnates on pre-spaceflight Vland).

Ziru Sirka

Of the three bureaus, it was the one most likely to be encountered by Terrans. This was partly because it engaged in the business most likely to get adventurers into the First Imperium -– buying and selling -- but also because it was in control of the space closest to Terra. It was actually fortunate for the Terran Confederation that Sharurshid was its neighbour. As the shangarim most accustomed to commerce and transport, it was the likeliest to accept Terran overtures to trade. While relations could be frosty at times, the potential for profitable transactions always brought Sharurshid back to the table. If Terra had been next to Makhidkarun, with its more authoritarian style, things might have been very different.
