Mining Corporations

Ganymede Energy Provision

GEP is one of the two big companies that mine hydrogen on Jupiter. The headquaters is located on Ganymede, the biggest moon of Jupiter. On Ganymede, there is also a large space port, where hydrogen is loaded on huge tanker ships, that supply the whole solar system. The Company has a fleet of special mining ships that shuttle between Jupiter and Ganymede, where the hydrogen is loaded on the tankers.

RedGas Corporation

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.

Flexible Mining Corporation

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.

Pirates

Failed Colonization Dreams

Governments encouraged people to go into space to work on mining platforms, science stations etc. They should build new communities and spread the influence of their governments. But not all these projects ended in a success (like the colonization of Venus and Mars). Space is a technically demanding environment. Many of the colonization platforms were staffed with bad educated and overstrained personal didn't reach their destination or break down because of insufficient and improper equipment and supplies. Governments suppressed such events to not discourage other settlers. Some people of these failed colonization projects survived. They are disappointed from their government and don't hesitate to harm it on their quest to survive in the hostile environment of space. They are very poor and not really harmful but there are many of them…

Privateers and Buccaneers

Some people in space make their living by ambushing supply treks. They steal equipment, food and sometimes also humans (if they are valuable). There are some smaller syndicates of pirates but no real structure. They fight for their profit and never do anything that is not worth the effort in hard currency. For some other people the pirates are some kind of heroes that fight against an unfair government.
