Description (Portfolio)[edit]
The Tuablin Corporation was founded in 956 on Phyllis's Surrender from the remaining corsair/scientist families of the Ghaskoret pirates.
- Tuablin specializes in kidnapping, mind control, and advanced biogengineering (the later based on some lucky Ancients finds on Phyllis' Surrender in 712).
The corporation holds a monthly bazaar selling slaves (usually for labor, bioengineered soldiers, or technical expertise), bioengineering products, and stolen goods. Their principal business partners include Die Weltbund (Tuablin is DW's primary source for much needed ship technical personnel), Parallel Lines' Shadow Division (the secret criminal group within PL), Zydarian Codominium, Northstar Republic, Trelyn Domain, Eslyat Magistracy, the Imperium, the Zhodani Consulate, and several independent corsair groups. Webrunners and Dark Goddesses are known enemies of Tuablin and are banned from the Phyllis' Surrender system. However the Guardians of Serenity are allowed to land and are often found bidding on slaves (usually children) in order to free them. The Comsentient Alliance officially disapproves of Tuablin but cannot act against it due the conflicts of interests among member planets who deal with Tuablin.
Tuablin is not well liked by many, but their services are invaluable even to superpowers like the Imperium. But the lords of Tuablin learned their lessons from the Ghaskoret debacle, and as long as they stay out of politics, they will be left alone by the forces that could easily smash them.
Though they are not without enemies. Besides Webrunners & Dark Goddesses, the League of Sophonts constantly acts against Tuablin interests. Manax Darkhstarr, the Imperium's diplomatic troubleshooter has been working with anti-Tuablin interests (this is one of the reasons for his re-assignment to Duchy of St. Foy). And many low tech worlds and free traders who form most of Tuablin's human resources are starting to fight back. Even the IDES with its anti-piracy tunnel vision has many agents seeing Tuablin worse than any pirate organization. Business can get difficult if many of these foes start working together.
Though Tuablin posseses its own fleet, it prefers to use other tonnage for its kidnapping business, either through willing (Parallel Lines, corsairs), or unwitting (legit shipping lines, free traders) partners. Quite often with latter, the crew can be blackmailed later into willingly serving as Tuablin flesh transports.
Tuablin mind control techniques are varied, as the corporation has spent centuries developing various psi techniques, drugs, virus & biological parasites/symbiotes for controlling a sentient. These techniques (and how to counter them) form a major part of their trade with the Imperials, the Zhodani, & Die Weltbund.
The biologenetic division is TL16+ for much of its work, creating enhanced sentients, usually for combat. Its crowning achievement were the Mhorodrin, derived from chirpers from Tanasi that Tuablin (when they were the Ghaskoret) 'helped' to overcome their reproductive bottleneck. The chirpers became the conditioned sepoys for the elite of the Ghaskoret pirate nobility. Since the downfall of the Ghaskoret Empire most of the Mhorodrin have broken free of Tuablin control and have become the corporation's deadliest enemies.
The corporation is very much interested in obtain specimens of the Toreis flower of Lilith and native Lilithian humans for genetic experiments. Tuablin has a price of the equivalent of 40 MCr.(Imperial) for anyone who can deliver both intact to Phyllis' Surrender. This has become more difficult as Lilith has stepped up planetary security & few Lilithian travel off planet anymore after several kidnapping attempts. Those who do travel have the protection of Eshenili bodyguards (provided by Lilithian plutocrat Deva des Plaines).
Tuablin is run much like any other corporation except that its board membership is closed to only surviving Ghaskoret families (Jikio, Tyhuer, Hyjwet, Wxcgut, Loiptr, Qwuiyt, Bhwertun, Maakiw, Sabaag, Alsadhin, Foorewtlang). The current head of Tuablin is Rejenc Loiptr.
Tuablin's commercial fleet consists of: fast couriers (63 100 tonne, treat as 'S' type scouts, 17 200 tonne ); 46 1000 tonne fast transports; anywhere from TL-11 to TL-15.
Their navy consists of: 48 TL-12 200 tonne SDB's (1 triple laser, 1 triple missile turrets); 12 1000 tonne destroyers (2 triple laser , 3 triple missile turrets); & 6 planetary monitors, mounting a TL:12-13 PAW spiral mount each plus secondary armament & 3 squadrons of fighters each.
