| | 16 | ==== RedGas Corporation ==== |
| | 17 | RGC is the second large company mining hydrogen on Jupiter and the biggest rival for GEP. Its name comes from the red surface of Jupiter. The headquaters is on Callisto another moon of Jupiter. This company mainly supplies the fleet of military and law enforcement firms with fuel. To satisfy these demanding clients, RGC has lots of smaller tanker ships orbiting around Jupiter and other planets nearby. Client space ships can dock on to the tankers to fill up their tanks. Empty tanker ships go back to Jupiter to refill their hydrogen tanks. |

| | 19 | ==== Flexible Mining Corporation ==== |
| | 20 | This smaller company is not in competition with the two above because it mines all kinds of precious metal on locations that are unattractive to other firms. They have specialized on exploiting asteroids with small unmanned mining drones. Since it is a smaller company, it is always dependent on a group of fighting ships. These defend the mining drones in case of an attack by pirates or other villains. The company has a large mother ship where the drones bring the ore. |
