    Star Wars - GCW Corporate Sector - OOC

    IC


    Star Wars - Corporate Sector Roleplay - Galactic Civil War Era

    ---

    The Corporate Sector or "CorpSec" was an independant sector created in order to resolve differences between Galactic Republic lawmakers and the heads of many of the galaxy's largest corporations. It was located in the Outer Rim Territories, at the front end of the Tingel Arm region. The year is 3BBY.

    ---

    Why here? Well its to give players some reign of freedom, while keeping them in one area in a way. This allows a higher chance for players to interact.

    Due to the limited canon for this sector it also allows us more of a free reign in how we play out actions, without directly affecting the Rebellion or Imperials in any way that could make the Star Wars Galaxy explode. Though it does allow us to interact with them on one level.

    ---

    Info on the Sector(Summary and for this RP):


    • This sector is not directly loyal to any group, but with payment from the Empire creates technology and builds some products for them.
    • Companies are lead by a board of all the major companies leaders. Minor companies do not get to sit on this board.
    • The board is composed of 55 members. Only 37 of them are permanent and get to make the big decisions. The other members rotate, the basis for this rotation is not clear.
    • CorpSec has its own security force, the Corporate Sector Authority.(Corp Sec)
    • CorpSec usually enslaves indigenous populations on world, resulting in slave revolts and underground movements similar to the rebellion, though most of the time they do not associate themselves with the Rebel alliance.
    • It has almost 30,000 star systems.
    • One of the planets(Most likely Etti) built a temple for Emporer Palpetine.
    • Reltooine is a hub for smugglers who do not wish to venture further into the CorpSec.

    Character Name: Tyron Omistel
    Age: 35
    Race: Human
    Force Sensitive: No
    Weapons: None
    Ship: Dancing Lady (Sorosuub Personal Luxury Yacht 3000)
    Allegiances: Omistel Industries, Corporate Sector Alliance
    Personality: An ambitious, greedy, almost cutthroat young executive
    History: Tyron Omistel is the ambitious young heir to the Omistel Industries empire. His father, Tylew Omistel, stepped down as a result of a terminal illness, and so, at age 35, Tyron has just replaced his father as the Chief Executive of Omistel Industries. He grew up being groomed for taking control of the company, being sent to the finest universities and business schools the galaxy had to offer, from Alderaan to Corellia to Coruscant, and excelled at his studies there. He holds multiple Masters' degrees in business and management from around the galaxy, as well as a Doctorate in management which he earned on Coruscant. Once his school was completed, when he was 28, Tyron returned to the Corporate Sector and spent time working in managerial and lower executive positions within Omistel Industries. His final position was Chief Operating Officer, until his father stepped down this year, preparing him for leading the company. He has earned a reputation as incredibly ambitious, and his work as the Chief Operating Officer of Omistel Industries, already a signatory member of the Direx Board, gain even more prestige. There are whispers that Tyron infected his father with the terminal illness to become the CEO, and rumors that he is pushing for a run at becoming the Executive Officer of the Corporate Sector Authority.




    Name: Omistel Industries
    Abbreviation: OMI
    Primary Products/Services: Starship hyperdrives and sublight engines, parts for those engines
    Secondary Products/Services: Starship repair equipment and drydock construction
    Tertiary Products/Services: Mechanic contracting, starship consulting
    CEO: Tyron Omistel
    Other important officials:
    Signatory Member of CSA: Yes
    Home Planet: Nasilnour
    Other important planets: Kiltrain, Ioehtu

    Brief history: Omistel Industries established itself several hundred years ago as a primary manufacturer of drives and engines. They became famous after contracts with Kuat Drive Yards and SoroSuub brought them immense revenue and galaxy-wide name recognition. Today, Omistel drives and engines are known as reliable, powerful, and expensive, although the cost of the engines rarely keeps people from buying them. In the past one hundred years, Omistel has also begun contracting services, for both engine and drive mechanics, which are among the best in the galaxy, and consulting for building starships appropriate for Omistel’s engines.

    Character Name: Lynda Akri
    Age: 57
    Race: Human
    Force Sensitive: No
    Weapons: None
    Ship: None
    Companions: None
    Allegiances: various whistleblower networks
    Appearance: 5' 5'', long white hair, light wrinkled skin, broad facial features (flat nose, think native american)
    Personality: Fiery, tenacious, not willing to back down, loves a good fight and a tough challenge.
    History:

    Lynda grew up on Bonadan, a planet marred by the striip mining of its entire surface. She was lucky enough to get an education and become a lawyer. She moved to Etti IV, capital of the corporate sector, to practice environmental law, through which she fought to protect the biospheres of planets across the corporate sector from the various exploitative businesses, which are minimally (if at all) regulated.

    After a lifetime of that, she retired from the law profession to become a full time whistleblower. Part of a network of whistleblowers, she responds to requests by natives of beleugered planets to protect them from multi-system businesses intent on degrading their planets and societies. Thus she travels from system to system, documenting outrageous instances of pollution, neglectful business practices, abuse of employees, and countless other illegal or immoral actions and then does her best to raise the alarm throughout the holonet.

    After doing this for several years, she has become quite a high profile character. More than a few people in the corporate sphere would love to see her suffer an unfortunate accident...

    - - - Updated - - -

    The plot I'm looking for is:

    1. One of you characters (hotshot?) orders a hit on me.
    2. Another character (bounty hunter type) comes after me.
    3. My friend/sidekick/bodyguard protects me.
    4. Hijinks ensue.

    If you guys think this would be a fun plot/subplot, we need a bounty hunter and a body guard/muscle for hire.

    I could see Omistel getting involved in this. One question is, however, who in the Corporate Sector would care about a whistleblower? The Corporate Sector is literally run by the businesses, and so while they commit lots of human rights abuses and whatnot, it's also totally legal; usually whistleblowers raise legal issues, so I'm wondering who exactly she would go to with this information who could actually do anything about it.

    @Cambyses Hotshot is right, there is a level of it doesn't matter how you treat employees and alien species. It is regular for the Corporate sector to come to a planet, pretend to aid the indigenous species then kill/enslave them once they know what they want. Your character may be entirely possible with a small edit where she is actually fighting for said aliens. I wouldn't say no to a small rebellion and you could grow it IC.

    There have to be laws; capitalism only works with a strong legal structure to enforce disputes. It seems logical that there would be some laws on the books, but they are routinely ignored, and it takes someone like Lynda to force the government to do its job.

    IT isn't really a governmental structure, more like a coalition.

    It is led by the most powerful business leaders.

    For more information: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corpo...ctor_Authority

    Employee abuse MAY be a case, but against alien species. Not a chance without starting a rebellion.

    I read that.

    The Corporate Sector Authority (CSA) was the government of an interplanetary fiefdom, administered by a brutal and tyrannical corporatocracy, that operated in the Corporate Sector, which was located at the front end of the Tingel Arm region in the Outer Rim Territories.
    Sounds like some law student fed up with their internship brought their baggage into the Star Wars EU. But I digress.

    I just don't understand how a corporatocracy works in reality (as opposed to being an accusation hurled at sleazy governments). Corporations don't do anything that isn't profitable, meaning they wouldn't maintain infrastructure or courts of law, but businesses need those things to function. I'm just saying, for this to work you would expect some sort of government bueracracy operating at some level.
