'''Idris Incorporated''' is an interstellar corporate bank headquartered in the Sol Alliance, though after the Solarian Collapse its branch in the [[Republic of Biesel]] has grown to become its most prominent base of operations. Representing the largest banking institution in the [[Orion Spur]], they hold a practical monopoly over banking and financial services throughout human space. Idris financial advice is regarded by millions of businesses as something short of divine guidance, the bank able to predict, influence and even control the flow of stock markets in Sol and beyond, power frequently used to bend situations and create favourable openings. Since providing secure credit storage for individuals, corporations and governments alike require a robust security presence, Idris fields one of the largest private security forces spread throughout its vast number of facilities, vaults, banks and commercial establishments. To that end, a sizable synthetic division has been developed to reinforce and partake in various activities, most notably debt reclamation.

Furthermore, the company manages a number of luxury product chains, hotels and high-class entertainment centres in a multitude of worlds across the Spur, expanding their clientele and becoming the go-to provider for powerful and influential elites of all calibres and tastes.

'''Biesel''', or [[Tau Ceti]] III, is the capital planet of the [[Republic of Biesel]] and the seat of its power. It was one of the first habitable exoplanets discovered by humanity, seventeen years after the [[Timeline#The Discovery of Warp|development of the Warp Drive]]. As a result of its sustained terraforming effort and colonization, Biesel has become one of the most wealthy and influential planets in human space.
 
Following the aftermath of the economic collapse of the [[Sol Alliance|Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations]], the Federal Republic of Biesel and the Tau Ceti System achieved independence in 2452. Its independence was heavily assisted by [[NanoTrasen]], and Biesel continues to be the main base of operations for the [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]] in the aftermath of the establishment of the Solarian Corporate Authority, which saw NanoTrasen expelled from Sol territories entirely.

=== History ===


Tau Ceti had long been suspected by astronomers to be a home to super-Earths; Earth-like planets with a larger mass that boasted a similar climate. In 2140, this suspicion was confirmed with the first clear views of Tau Ceti III. The central government of the Sol Alliance, in the wake of energy shortages and the need for helium-3, began construction on a massive colony ship, the SAEV Ulysses, with the intent to build a fully self-sufficient colony on Tau Ceti III. Owing to the expense of helium-3 at the time, the Alliance knew that the journey would be a one-way trip.
Idris Incorporated was founded in 2152, as pressure grew for a secure way to store credits and have them transferable across solar systems. Idris Trust was at the time, one of the few banking institutions that offered interstellar services based in Sol, making them one of the most experimental, yet immensely convenient choices for business firms, especially centred around Eridani space. Under supervision from the Idris family, the bank grew astonishingly as more and more large businesses and corporations noticed the need to expand and extend their influence across the stars. It was then when it was decided that they touch on other fields, entering the stage of megacorporations.


The construction of the Ulysses was completed in 2152. The Alliance appointed six researchers and brilliant minds to lead the expedition and colonisation efforts of the ship; former German military pilot and astrophysicist Peter Diezel, Congolese medical researcher Pascalline Kete, Soviet-Canadian engineer Nataliya Kerenkova, American chief of security Kellen Carver, Vietnamese botanist Le Hsung Tran, and American geologist Lester Grant. The rest of the population of the colony ship was selected from carefully vetted volunteers of all variety of professions, from architects, miners, chefs, and farmers.
Starting off, all of the most lucrative fields had already been dominated by firms such as [[Hephaestus Industries]] and [[NanoTrasen]]. As such, it was decided that a more commercial approach would be followed, focusing on catering to society’s elite and higher classes, providing high-end fashion and luxury products as well as services. With enough effort put in, Idris Incorporated secured a concrete foothold in the Solarian and Tau Ceti markets, with the next big prospective hit being the new cybernetics and augmentation services on Epsilon Eridani. As the corporation developed, so did its banking services and figures, landing it the title of the biggest bank in the known galaxy.


Much of the Ulysses' year-long journey was spent with the crew in cryosleep. It was on October 24th, 2147, that the ship touched down on Biesel for the first time in the area that would become Mendell City. Colonisation and construction efforts went underway, as the researchers gradually began to map out the lay of the planet's surface, weather, and its precious minerals.
Meanwhile, Idris Incorporated has managed to secure a place in the service synthetic sector, creating its own software and a dedicated IPC shell frame line intended for use as clerks and customer service, the hardware creation contracted out to Hephaestus. Still, the company is famed for its outstanding human staff in the high-end service sector, with many acclaimed chefs and mixologists to accompany the high brass on their business trips, soothing big deals.


Biesel's name comes from the early months of 2148, as the colonists were beginning to settle in; chief of security Carver, who had dyslexia and was known among the crew for his spelling errors, wrote a notice to Dr. Diezel in which his surname was misspelt "Biesel". The moniker became an inside joke amongst the colony's leaders for years until it was time to rechristen Tau Ceti III.
Today, Idris Incorporated is a member of the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, joining efforts with the other megacorporations as former rivals put aside their differences. Or so it seems.


blah blah blah blah
The bank has begun offering hiring bonuses to those who work for other major interstellar corporations to draw people away from their competitors. However, they are still in a struggle with NanoTrasen due to its large employee base mainly using the company's bank as their method of storing funds, preventing Idris from having a large number of members. This has caused strained relationships between NanoTrasen and Idris Incorporated.


It was not until [insert year], when NanoTrasen, up till then a biotechnical company, discovered Phoron along the outer edges of the system, within the Romanivich Cloud. It was this discovery that cemented Biesel's position as the richest system within the Orion Spur, dethroning the home system of humanity. Phoron became the primary fuel for interstellar travel, and NanoTrasen profited alongside the system. The megacorporation already held signficant influence over the still Solarian system, but now it had a stranglehold monopoly over it, as well as one of the most influential megacorporations within the spur.
=== Influence ===


It was NanoTrasen's influence that allowed the system to find it's independence from the Solarian State - as in [year] during the midsts of a recession, NanoTrasen presented an ultimatum to the Solarian Government that would secure Biesel's independence - had the Solarian State turned them down, NanoTrasen would have crashed the markets further, resulting in another depression. Since then Sol, especially it's military, has seen the independence of biesel as a mistake, and have twice made attempts to recapture the territory against the wishes of the Solarian Government itself.
Idris Incorporated exercises authority over seven million major banks spread across Human space and beyond, and has come to find itself in virtually every major power's pocket in some form or fashion. While not openly contesting NanoTrasen's net worth, Idris and its services can be found to extend as far as its looming superior can see.


Since it's independence the young republic has transformed in many ways, facing challenges as they come, but it has been unable to shake the influence of corporations, continually relying on them for many things. Today in the wake of the phoron scarcity, it stands bigger than ever despite an unclear future, yet this size has not come without its issues. The young republic has compromised on many of its beliefs; oppressing those found in the corporate reconstruction zone and restricted freedom. The fog of time obscures what lies in store for the republic, but they go forward none the less, as idealists.
As the go-to business for any and all banking in the Orion Spur, Idris is a notably secretive corporation. Reasonably so, it possesses the financial information of almost every living being in the galaxy. With great power comes great responsibility, and whatever power the Idris family was given has clearly gone to their heads - the decisions of higher-ups are erratic, and unpredictable at best. Some owe Idris’ continued place in the galactic stage to Zeng-Hu tech giving their executives genetic advantages over the opposition - others believe it’s just a big conspiracy and reminiscent of a big gang.


=== Recent Events ===
The deeper one looks into Idris, the less prominent people tend to be. Higher ranking officials slowly slither out of the public eye and find themselves officially retreating to luxurious hideaways - ones they’re never found using. Whatever the case, shady tactics and illicit business are part of the trade for a trusted Idris associate. Whether the effects of this drip down to the level of the crew is up to you, the reader.
Biesel has been the subject of many recent happenings within the Orion Spur, primarily due to its position as the richest system, and the domination of NT over the Republic. The following events are in chronological order.


* Something x, y, z
Idris, being fabulously rich, has no issue with paying others to do their dirty work. Its employees are well-paid, and often well-trained.


== Environment ==
==== Idris Family ====
[[File:BieselV3.png|400px|thumb|right|A labeled map depicting Biesel.]]
Biesel is a planet slightly larger than [[Earth]], with a more temperate climate that ranges from oceanic to tropical. It takes thirty-five days for the planet to make a full orbit around its star, and its rotational period is twenty-two hours. Its icecaps on its poles are far smaller than that of [[Persepolis]], another Earth-like exoplanet, and it has very limited deserts at its equator. Snow is rare on Biesel, with its winter seasons being marked by cold rains. As such, most coastal cities on Biesel are fortified to reduce infrastructural damage from flooding, particularly in the aftermath of the Craterview Flood in 2396. Despite flood risks, there is very little risk of tsunamis on Biesel because of almost non-existent tectonic activity. In the summer, tropical storms form with a similar frequency to Earth, but because of the smaller land area, the tropical storms can be much stronger. Many coastal cities have detection systems that sound an alarm if the correct atmospheric conditions are met.


The planet has a rich resource base, attributed to a collision with a large celestial body early in its development. From the time Biesel was colonized, geologists have been studying Peterdiezel Crater closely. According to theories, the crater was created by the collision of a moon with the planet. This collision not only brought Biesel's moon, Valkyrie, into existence, but also created a wealth of resources. A part of Valkyrie is thought to be Biesel, while the other is thought to be the celestial body responsible for creating Peterdiezel Crater.  
Founded by wealthy businessman William Idris, not much is known about the people behind the world’s largest human bank. Through the generations, the Idris would acquire land and create estates all over the core worlds of Sol, their rich tastes in items and architecture characterising every Idris property in unique ways.


===Florae and Faunae===
A very secretive family, the Idris never shared private information with the public. This has made them the subject of many theories by those who care enough. Their Eridanian connections appear to have enabled them to embrace heavy augmentations. The bright artificial blue light of the eyes, full coats, dark gloves and what appear to be bright cyan blood vessels on the necks of the most senior, fully retired from public eye family members, never fail to reinforce the feelings of abnormality and fear.


In the years after the initial touchdown of the SAEV Ulysses, a number of Earth-originating species were introduced to Biesel's biosphere in the 2160s. Many of the species introduced to Biesel were endangered in their native environment on Earth; prior to the independence of Biesel, the colony had a "wildlife exchange agreement" with the government of Earth, in which species that had exploded in population on Biesel would have some of their number trapped and sent back to Earth as the planet's biosphere gradually recovered.  
Despite their secret life, the Idris are known for their dubious deals and shady business, while perfectly maintaining the aura of outstanding, honest customer service they are so renowned for. It is no secret though, that when they feel their interests threatened, none of them would hesitate to adopt extreme measures. No few were the cases of “mysterious disappearances” of small rival business strongmen, or of “miraculous turnings” of problem customers, into ideal clients.


As Biesel's general clime was similar to the Pacific Northwest of North America, many of its Earth-born species originate from there. The grey wolf, reindeer, and bald eagle's introduction to Biesel, while allowing the species to flourish, contributed to the rapid endangerment of the native white-breasted lakesurfer, an avian similar to a loon, and the barker, a large rodent. While the lakesurfer was placed under protection and preserved in several wildlife reserves in the early 2200s, the barker gained no such protection. Many biologists attribute this to the annoyance posed by barkers in the early days of colonisation, when it was common to have equipment burrowed into and wires chewed by barkers.
=== Positronics and Idris Incorporated ===


Other notable species that have thrived on Biesel are the Kermode bear and the North Atlantic and North Pacific salmon. The Kermode bear, popularly known as the spirit bear, was at risk of losing its habitat in the Pacific Northwest due to declining numbers of salmon. The bear and the fish were initially introduced to northern Eos, around Griff's Lake and Lonely Lake, and reached sustainable population levels over the course of three decades, to the delight of biologists and fishers alike. The development of the town of Lakeside into Top of the World has led to concerns from locals about the Kermode bear's habitat and its disruption, and pollutants from the underwater fusion reactor that may harm the development of spawning salmon.
:''"We have authority to reclaim your security as per your loan agreement. I am cleared to use reasonable force to achieve this directive. Do not resist."''


<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Notorious across the known galaxy, Idris Reclamation Units are shell [[IPC]]s constructed and programmed to investigate, interrogate as well as reclaim securities and or assets from a client in arrears. Capable of excellent customer service and a novelty to agreeable customers, their notoriety stems from their inhuman treatment of "problem customers". In the interest of carrying out their various 'directives', Reclamation Units are programmed, and granted authorization for, the usage of 'reasonable force' against clients, though this reliably never trends towards irreparable injury or death. A majority of contracts are settled ‘diplomatically’, with reasonable force, in teams of two units. '''Idris Reclamation Units are designated by the prefix “IRU-” followed by their name. An example of this formatting is IRU-Name.'''
==== Notable Native Florae and Faunae ====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


* '''White-breasted lakesurfer''' (''Haliolaevus seleni''): The official bird of Biesel, and one of its most iconic animals. The lakesurfer is an aquatic bird that primarily inhabits the content of Selene and Lake Tricord. It is a broad, black and white bird with a distinctive blue stripe along a short head crest or "mohawk". Prior to their protection, they were typically preyed on by bald eagles introduced to the Biesel biosphere.
Idris Incorporated's Synthetic Department consists of both an investigative and asset reclamation division, as well as a security division. The Idris Security Division consists of medium to heavy class IPCs for use as bank security as well as higher risk reclamation contracts.
* '''Common barker''' (''Ulosmarmota vulgaris''): A rodent-like animal with a long tail, similar in size to a muskrat. They have brown, shaggy fur, long incisors, and a distinctive danger cry or "bark" that earned them their name. Barkers are an endangered species on Biesel, and are rare to find outside of the forests and mountainous regions of the continents.


</div></div>
Known problematic clients will warrant the usage of the Idris Security Units. More often than not, these will consist of baseline and G2 chassis, though it's not unheard of to see different models. These teams are always accompanied by a human handler, who will be responsible for coordination and oversight. This is in order to manage the operation, authorize actions, command the unit, and secure any fallen members/equipment. The human handler will rarely engage in conflict directly, reserving the more dangerous operations to the IPC security detail units. IPC security teams consist of between 2-6 IPCs per human handler. '''Idris Security Units are designated by the prefix “ISU-” followed by their name. An example of this formatting is ISU-Name.'''


=== Continents ===
'''All Idris Security Units are expected to adopt the IRU- or ISU- prefix.'''
====Astraeus====


Astraeus is the most affluent of Biesel's three continents and is home to the capital, Mendell City. Even today, it remains the most heavily populated area in Biesel, largely due to the availability of natural resources and the low-lying plains that were easily colonized by early settlers. Many of their homesteads soon turned into cities, dotting the landscape around the two mountain ranges in the north, the Grattle, and in the south, the Uratines. In its long history, the Grattle range has evolved from a mining zone to a destination recognized for its top-performing ski resort that can lure visitors from the furthest reaches of Orion Spur.
Hierarchy between reclamation and security units is often determined on a case by case basis by the units’ handlers. This ensures orderly and efficient management in environments where IPCs may be without the immediate oversight of their human superiors. However Idris Incorporated employees are always considered as possessing seniority to the IPC security and reclamation units. Both reclamation and security units are carefully monitored by their human handlers and undergo regular check ins. Uniformity and obedience is expected, where behavior outside the norm often results in severe punishment. '''Idris Security and Reclamation units are expected to wear the “Idris Unit coat” found in the Loadout under the Xenowear - IPC tab.'''


Astraeus' major population centres are '''Mendell City''' and '''Cape City'''.
Given the sensitive nature of their field, Idris Incorporated synthetics are barred from acquiring freedom and if sold, their positronic brains are memory wiped. Synthetics that are close to paying themselves off are quietly transferred to other branches wherein such laws do not apply. Many IRUs and ISUs are sold second hand or loaned out to various corporations who usually utilize them for security or investigation work.


==== Selene ====
==Executives and Branches==
[[File:AlexMason.png|thumb|right|Alex Mason, Idris' Chief Executive Officer.]]


The second-largest continent of Biesel, Selene, is situated north of Astraeus. In spite of its size, Selene is the continent with the lowest population density of the three, with almost all of its inhabitants living in coastal towns. Those not biding their time on the coasts are usually tending the inland plains that often are lined with farmsteads. The Greatkrag range that runs across Selene has come to symbolize the Biesel Escarpment, an area consisting of steep slopes that transition into arctic plateaus, which entice those seeking to escape civilization.
===Executives===
Idris is run by the Board of Governors, lead by Chairman Markus Idris. The Board of Governors oversee the general function of the bank, with teams in Sol and Tau Ceti managing more local problems.


Selene's major population centres are '''Phoenixport''', '''Ashton''', and '''Belle Côte'''.
'''Chief Technology Officer:''' Carol Cojocaru, b. 2380


==== Eos ====
An old name in Idris, Cojocaru earned his position not from backroom dealing or business acumen, but by an unerring belief in technological innovation. First making a name for himself as a roboticist in charge of ISUs back in 2423, in Chicago. As the first shells began to be produced, the Earther quickly realized the immense potential of shells in the company’s facilities and was quickly accepted into the nascent Idris Reclamation Unit program. As it became clear that the program would find more success in other systems, he quickly transferred after proposing a plan to roll out shell workers in most of Idris’ Earth enterprises, earning a promotion to Chief Technology Officer with his relentless drive to have them implemented across the entire company. Many suspect the strain of such a massive change to the company in a short time broke Carol, with the man suffering a heart attack by 2454 at the age of 48. Since then, his worldview seemingly changed, with the old roboticist acting fiercely resistant to change - indeed, attempts to contract IRUs out to other companies were stonewalled by him until 2460. The man is personally known for his surprisingly good insight, volatile personality, and immense caution. With the man getting older, many of his subordinates are waiting for the opportunity to unseat a head they now view as overly conservative.


The largest continent of the three, Eos resides mostly within the eastern hemisphere of Biesel and is the most industrialized. The large amount of coastal flatlands, supplied by rugged inlands, rich with minerals and resources of all varieties has led to most of the cities doting Eos to form along with the two major mountain ranges. They are the northern Latra range, which is heavily mined for its abundance of copper and iron, and the southern Sevul range, mined for its large quantities of heavy metals. Eos is also known for its sports fanatics, who host regular tournaments between the major population centres on Biesel.
'''Idris Family Patriarch:''' Adram Idris, b. 2353


Eos' major population centres are '''Ports-Ville''', '''Scottsdan''', '''New Marfa''' and the recently-developed community '''Top of the World''' and its sister town, '''Lakeside'''.
With his life after retirement shrouded in mystery, the 112-year-old man has been at the forefront of Idris for over half a century. While not a member of the Board, Adram Idris’ decision to promote his protege, Alex Mason, as the new chief executive has raised questions about the real figure behind the administration. A once personal acquaintance of Xavier Trasen, Adram’s role in the expansion of the banking institute into Tau Ceti has been key to the truly all-encompassing reach it enjoys today. Head of the Idris family and estates, his combined personal and family wealth is one of the most closely guarded secrets, arousing the interest of analysts and conspiracy theorists whose most conservative estimations regularly place him as either the first or second wealthiest private individual, alongside Miranda Trasen. No matter the case, he has regularly shunned personal and family publicity, enforcing strict policies of privacy and avoidance of public appearances which only the younger Idris can get away from.


==Economy==
'''Executive Member:''' Stanley Dittmeier, b. 2414


Biesel's economy is primarily centred around its potential as a breadbasket. Fresh produce grown on Biesel is shipped all around the [[Tau Ceti]] system, and sometimes is shipped as far as the [[Republic of Elyra]] and the [[Coalition of Colonies]]. In its early days as a colony, fresh water from lakes and ponds was drained and shipped back to the [[Sol Alliance]] after climate disasters had rendered a great deal of [[Earth]]'s water supply unpotable; today, Getmore still markets water from Biesel's lakes as "the freshest in the [[Orion Spur]]".  
Another Lunarian born in affluence, Dittmeier’s career started at a young age, entrepreneuring in various fields, pitching dodgy inventions and products in various attempts of achieving a successful business. Never the type of person to give up, his persistence despite the failures and toeing the line of financial ruin allowed him to enter a wide social network of business individuals, including the Idris affiliated Alex Mason. Impressed with his character, business bravado and willingness to push the line in the name of profit, it wasn’t long until he had granted Stanley the position of personal secretary, a rank which followed Mason and his rapid climb to the top. A result of blatant utilitarianism, his elevation to the Board of Directors in the vague role of “Executive Member” has resulted in many controversies within inner circles. However, his undoubted usefulness as a crafty, underhanded deal maker and close confidant of Alex Mason renders him immune from open criticism.


Most of the [[megacorporations]] have a full branch in District One of Mendell City, and perform many operations on the planet. While every one of the "Big Five" has a stake in Biesel somewhere, the ones most influential locally are NanoTrasen, Idris Incorporated, and Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. NanoTrasen and Idris account for the vast majority of corporate-run restaurants, hotels, and bars on the planet; even independent businesses likely cooperate or share their stocks in part with the two. While Biesel's healthcare system is ostensibly state-run, in practice many hospitals and clinics loan equipment from NanoTrasen and Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. Almost all research into phoronics, genetics, and robotics is connected or funded by NanoTrasen or the keiretsu's subsidiaries.
===Branches===


The major trade port that is Biesel is propped up by the shipping efforts of [[Hephaestus Industries]] and more recently, [[Orion Express]]. [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]] also assists in the purchase and transport of weapons brought to the Republic's capital, usually manufactured in the [[Empire of Dominia]] or on [[New Suez]]. Extraction of Biesel's rich deposits of helium-3 is also managed by Hephaestus Industries, and sold all across the Spur-- even to the Sol Alliance.
'''Abidjan, Ivory Coast, [[Earth]], [[Sol]]:''' As the most ancient and arguably most developed branch in Sol, Abidjan directs the corporation’s significant activity in Alliance space, centred around the core worlds and the Sol system itself. The birthplace of Adram Idris himself, it is regarded as the primary stronghold of Idris influence in the Alliance. Branch directors are often at liberty to strike deals and preserve a working relationship with an increasingly uneasy government after the formation of the SCC. Though major issues with the Alliance are easily settled or mitigated due to Idris’ influence over the fragile Solarian economy, relatively good relations and agreements with Einstein Engines have roused complaints from Nanotrasen factors, the Board often claiming such as necessary for the status quo. From a more local view, the Abidjan branch dominates the city with its innumerable Idris affiliated businesses, casinos and banking facilities. The headquarters complex on the outskirts is the largest and most guarded private area in the city and possibly West Africa, serving as a base for the corporation’s every need in the system, a private shuttle port offering a direct connection to the planetary orbit and Unity Station.


== Culture and Demographics ==
'''Mendell City, [[Biesel]], [[Tau Ceti]]:''' Idris Incorporated’s branch in Mendell City can be found near the edge of the Phoenix Park District, exerting control over all operations in Republic space and skyrocketing in importance as the main representative of company interests in the wider megacorporate world, after the creation of the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate. Recent funding and a shift of more focus to the Republic has allowed for immense renovations with a brand new skyscraper, “The Tower”, catching the eye as the tallest in the district and the second the whole of Mendell, coming face to face with the marginally higher Nanotrasen Headquarters. The surrounding complex serves as a base of operations for the Tau Ceti security and reclamation divisions, providing living quarters for Idris employees and guards as well as an underground warehouse for synthetic storage. Center to Mendell’s commercial district, its presence has created a shift, moving the centre of the City’s financial sector to its surrounding area with the help of the centralised Idris Mendell City Bank, the planet’s main and most important banking establishment.


Biesel is the birthplace for much of [[Biesellite Culture and Society|Tau Cetian culture]]. For the most part Biesellites tend to be amenable towards the heavy corporate involvement in their government, or even desensitized to it; the [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]]'s role in social safety nets, well-paying jobs, and entertainment, reinforcing the image of their necessity and the overall pro-corporate sentiment among Biesellites. As a general rule, pro-corporate sentiment tends to lessen the farther one is away from Mendell City; Lakeside, in particular, has protested against the massive developments in their area to build the community of Top of the World.
'''Eridani I, [[Epsilon Eridani]]:''' The Eridani I branch serves as the overall Idris headquarters for the Eridani system, regarded as the third most important corporate branch. Idris’ presence in the Eridani market and society is not as vast as Hephaestus, often struggling to compete against them. Nevertheless, Idris banking remains king amongst the rest, the Eridani elite enjoying significant benefits as incentives compared to other areas, for their much needed continued support. Idris facilities are scattered throughout the megacities, the higher echelons occupying the higher locations. The headquarters themselves are situated in various skyscraper complexes all over the city, a product of the tremendous corporate entanglement and complexities dominating the Federation. The Eridani I branch is also home to Idris’ newest bid into the cybernetics and synthetics division, possessing facilities that serve as the main heavy-duty maintenance station for Idris synthetics, as well as the main centre for research in augmentation technology and software development.


A strong sense of individualism and duty permeate Biesel culture; many citizens have a positive view of the [[Tau Ceti Armed Forces]], even after the controversies surrounding the Peacekeeper Mandate. Some citizens regarded the Tau Ceti Foreign Legion as a better example of Biesellite duty and strength, and have taken the view that the expansion of the Armed Forces means the Republic is moving in a more war-like, jingoistic direction. Despite the popularity of the Armed Forces, however, the [[Hasta La Victoria Siempre Arc|2465 protests]] in Zhèngfǔ District have shown that support may be dwindling for Biesel's involvement in the [[Corporate Reconstruction Zone]].
'''[[Silversun]], Middle Colonies, Sol Alliance:''' The Silversun branch of Idris is the final regional branch, dedicated to serving as the headquarters for company interests on the planet. Tasked with directing the corporation’s meddling efforts in the government through the Tourism Development Group of Silversun, the local Idris offices are staffed with expert political manipulators and lobbyists. The vast, planetary-scale investments have rendered Silversun the busiest and most populous regional branch, making the physical presence of the corporation impossible to miss on nearly every corner. Planned by some of Sol’s most renowned architects, Idris buildings blend in perfectly with the serene environment of Silversun. In practice however, vast underground complexes form a network of storage and office spaces, as well as living quarters for the many Expatriate employees. All this is done in order to avoid interference with the pristine environment as much as possible, the more complex and common above-surface compounds and skyscrapers being avoided as much as possible. Lastly, the planet serves as a popular vacation spot for the majority of mid to high tier executives; a company-sponsored leave on Silversun is considered a standard and often a much-appreciated reward for productive and valuable employees.


=== Aliens on Biesel ===
==Subsidiaries==


''See also: [[Skrell Abroad#Skrell in the Republic of Biesel|Skrell in the Republic of Biesel]], [[Unathi_Abroad#Unathi_in_the_Republic_of_Biesel|Unathi in the Republic of Biesel]], [[Little Adhomai]], [[Zo'ra in the Republic of Biesel]], [[Minor_Dionae_Factions#The_Biesellian_Choir|The Biesellian Choir]]''
The subsidiaries of all megacorporations are as endless as their own direct employees, with massive swaths of businesses being occupied or dropped on a daily basis on a galactic scale. Whether businesses flourish alongside or get crushed by the corporate powers is found to be a case-by-case scenario. This means that any independent business, at least outside of Tau Ceti and the Eridani Corporate Federation, can reasonably survive indefinitely without the megas grabbing them. However, should these businesses elevate to anything worthwhile, it is reasonable to assume they’ve already fallen to the whim and will of the economic rulers of the Orion Spur.
 
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
The Republic, and particularly Biesel itself, has among the most diverse and widespread populations of non-human species in the entire Orion Spur. Biesellite humans are no stranger to aliens in their streets, though ignorance, speciesism, and xenophobia are still common from humans to aliens, aliens to humans, and aliens to other aliens. As the Republic gains an identity away from the Alliance, alien influence has begun to permeate Biesel's culture more and more, to the chagrin of some and the acceptance of others.
===Celestial Cruises===
 
“Witness beauty and splendor.”
=== Synthetics on Biesel ===
''See also: [[IPCs in Biesel]]''
 
Though Biesel is a beacon of hope and relative safety for synthetics, their position in society still remains a precarious one, both from a financial and a security standpoint. Freedom, and even citizenship, for integrated positronic chassis has firmly been established and is something the Republic takes pride in. Either through labour, negotiations, the goodwill of their owners or other occasions, IPCs may find themselves free from ownership, able to pursue their own destiny as independent individuals. Unfortunately for many, such destiny usually involves a hard and at times, short existence.
 
Free IPCs are afforded few actual opportunities to improve their lives, existing in a grey area between the relative stability of corporate owned assets, and the solidified protection of the state for citizens. With the recent introduction of the Synthetic Residence Card by the government, free synthetics are able to more clearly and safely navigate through the process of staying in Tau Ceti, finding employment, owning property, and more. While free IPCs were previously allowed to own property without a card, they have been grandfathered in.
 
For many free IPCs, citizenship is viewed as the ultimate goal in integrating into society. Citizenship entitles an IPC to increased legal protections, almost, if not on par with that of a natural-born human citizen, including complete protection as well as legal representation from being owned ever again. NanoTrasen and its subsidiaries are also obligated to pay IPC citizens working for it an equal wage as compared to humans. This compensation typically comes in the form of increased benefits such as repairs, insurance, and a pension, as opposed to a simple wage increase however. They also pay the same tax rate as regular citizens and no longer have to maintain the residency fee.
 
=== Entertainment ===
 
*'''Peterdiezel Boat Racing''' is an annual competition that begins in Craterview. The race is a three-day excursion and is usually recorded through observation drones following the individual boats racing against the clock. There are several routes all across Peterdiezel Crater, some more dangerous than others. While anyone can participate, most of the competitors are city teams such as the Mendell City Boat Club or the Cape Cods.  
 
*'''Eos Sporting Tournaments''' are an annually held, international series of sporting events in which megacorporation-sponsored athletes participate in competitions involving human and alien sports. Every team or participant will represent a corporation during the competitions. Due to the corporate nature of the event, every participant must be employed in the megacorporation they represent. It is common for corporations to offer better salaries and benefits to notorious athletes in an attempt to poach them from their original employers. Games are usually hosted in any of Eos' cities except New Marfa.
 
*'''Belle Cote Fashion Show''' is a series of designer presentations held annually in Belle Cote. Sponsored by Idris, a variety of venues are used throughout the city to display the best-performing styles and themes of the year. Both Chief Executive Officers of Caishen Jewellers and Le Soleil Royal are regular hosts of the show, their fashion lines the staple of the event.  
 
=== Festivals and Celebrations ===
 
*'''Republic Day''' (also known to some as Xavier’s Gala) is a holiday which commemorates the declaration of independence of Tau Ceti from the Solarian Alliance.  The crippling economic recession experienced by the Solarian Alliance allowed the Republic of Biesel to leverage their independence, and ultimately be awarded it. It is hosted on May 5th of each year, and usually involves total rejection of both Solarians and Megacorporations. Fireworks, parades, fairs and concerts are often commonly associated with Republic Day.
 
*'''Tribuisti de Colonis''', or Festival of the Settlers, is a massive Carnival celebration marking Biesel’s colonization. The festivities usually begin on the third Friday of October, through to the Sunday. Mendell City has become the most well-known celebrator of the festival, parading through the streets of the various districts with eccentric clothing and massive floats (usually of the planet’s native species). Other popular cities include Craterview, which celebrates the festival with dazzling fireworks and displays of lights, and Belle Cote, which throws its annual fashion show over the weekend the festival takes place.
 
*'''Heritage Day''' is a holiday that recognizes and celebrates the cultural wealth of the Republic of Biesel. Celebrations differ from person to person and usually depends on their cultural heritage and the remembrance of such. Some believe the wearing of cultural garments is enough, while others may partake in cultural festivities hosted across Tau Ceti. It is usually held every September 24th.

==Mendell City==
 
'''Mendell City''' is the capital of Biesel, and one of the most affluent cities in the [[Orion Spur]]. It is a massive city, home to billions of sophonts, and stretches out for roughly thirty-thousand square kilometres. Each of the [[megacorporations]] have headquarters in District One, and the [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]] is based in Mendell City. The city itself contains a mix of structures, ranging from kilometer high skyscrapers covering a dozen city blocks to almost serene suburbs, all wrapped into the city’s urban sprawl.
 
Mendell City is the hub of trade throughout the Republic, with trillions of credits flowing through the electronic stock markets in the business sector - whether in private transactions or on the trade floor. While few in Mendell live in abject poverty and the city's social safety network is largely supported by the megacorporations, the cost of living can grow exponentially, and low-income neighbourhoods are most commonly populated by non-humans. Higher education, in particular, is expensive and difficult to pay for unless one earns a scholarship from one of the corporations on the condition the student in question works for the corporation in question.


Mendell City is divided into fifteen administrative districts:
'''Chief Executive Officer:''' Leina Idris, b. 2393


<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
A subsidiary of Idris, Celestial Cruises has been touted as one of the most famous examples of the fabulous lifestyle one can have with Idris. It maintains fleets of 400 meter long “Star-gazer” ships, vessels with glass dome tops holding a miniature environment along with numerous holodecks, clubs, and entertainment centers within their decks. Maintained by contracted engineers and staffed by Idris employees and IPCs, these exclusive cruises have become popular in a select few nations in the Orion Spur.
=== District 1-4 ===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''District 1'''
====History====
 
'''Zhèngfǔ District:''' The centre of Mendell, District 1 is home to the Mendell City Hall and the headquarters of most major megacorporations. NanoTrasen's Biesel headquarters sit adjacent to City Hall, with the towering two-hundred story skyscraper among the tallest buildings in the city. At the centre of the City Hall square, the Xavier Trasen memorial statue marks not only one of Biesel's greatest innovators, but also the original touchdown site of the SAEV Ulysses.
 
'''District 2'''
 
'''Phoenix Park:''' One of the most wealthy and affluent areas in Mendell City, Phoenix Park is a large commercial district, home to several malls, retail outlets, and department stores. The district is bordered by a massive nature reserve (also called Phoenix Park), holding some of the few remaining original species of Biesel. High-ranking corporate executives typically hold apartments here.


'''District 3'''
Founded in 2332, Celestial Cruises was an ambitious project by founder Naia Idris to capitalize on a possible market: Luxury space cruises. The company sky rocketed in 2341 after unveiling the first Star-gazer, with cruise tickets selling out in minutes. Maintaining constant expansion while retaining its luxurious image, Celestial Cruises opened a Republic of Elyra branch while also drafting possible plans to expand into more settled Coalition areas and the Empire of Dominia. Unfortunately, the collapse of the Sol Alliance has dug deep into the company’s profits and cancelled those plans. With a majority of its primary branch’s Star-gazers lost or trapped in warlord held lands, Celestial Cruises’ CEO is forced to gamble with expansions to Elyra’s cruises while attempting to establish a Republic of Biesel branch.


'''Xinghua Prefecture:''' A small district that makes extremely efficient use of its space, this district is almost solely populated by large apartment and condominium complexes with some limited space designated for office complexes. Many corporations have employee housing in this district, due to the inexpensive cost of maintaining an apartment building in Xinghua. As of the Republic's most recent census in 2460, Xinghua is the most populous area of Mendell City. Anybody can be found here, though the vast majority of the population is human.
====Branches====
* Sol Alliance: The mainstay of Celestial Cruises since it began, the Sol Alliance branch was its most developed and advanced fleet of Star-gazers. Several rings of voyages dotted the Sol Alliances territory, stretching from the borders of the Traverse to the Weeping Stars region. Silversun was the nexus of these voyages, with vacation plans that allowed one to enjoy a cruise right before settling into their resort on the beautiful planet. As such, when the Sol Alliance collapsed so did the income of Celestial Cruises. While smaller flight paths within the Sol Alliance’s shrunken territory continue on, they remain far from the poorly-protected borders of the sector.  


'''District 4'''
* Republic of Elyra: Opening up shortly after Elyra’s formation, Celestial Cruises was well-received by the citizens of Elyra. With a primary loop between Persepolis, Aemeq, and Medina, Celestial Cruises is popular for those who wish to tour the jewels of the Serene Republic. The Republic of Elyra branch also attracts business from the Coalition, PRA, Hegemony, and Dominia. With Sol’s branch cut down, The Republic of Elyra’s branch has seen more investments in the hopes of becoming the new primary branch for Celestial Cruises.  
 
'''Abaster Fields:''' A gated suburb to the west of the city, largely home to various estate properties and mansions of the affluent. Due to exorbitant costs associated with moving into Abaster Fields, the district isn't heavily populated, but remains an influential district due to its wealth. Many high-ranking corporate and diplomatic officials can be found here, often living in expensive mansions designed to show off their wealth to the Republic's citizenry.


* Tau Ceti: Quickly developing as a new source of income to offset the loss in the Sol Alliance branch, the Tau Ceti branch holds some of the company’s hopes in solving the issues the Solarian collapse caused. With just a single Star-gazer preforming circuits within the capital system, operations are limited for now. Should their newly claimed systems become settled by the SCC, Tau Ceti could be the perfect site for rapid expansion.

=== District 5-9 ===
===Caishen Jewellers===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


'''District 5'''
“The best of the galaxy in your dresser!”


'''Homewood:''' A large suburb on the eastern side of the city, with an artificial river built coming in from Severson's Rift. Home to the medium-upper and upper class families, this district is considered to be "almost as good as" Abaster Fields by its residents. Those with the wealth to live in Abaster Fields do not share the same opinion. Homewood's residents are often the middle echelon of corporate facilities, typically the leaders of a department that are rich enough to move out of the city itself, but not rich enough to move into Abaster Fields.
'''Chief Executive Officer:''' Lubanzi Idris, b. 2437


'''District 6'''
Caishen Jewellers is the leading jewellery company in the Spur, with its hand in several markets in the major nations. Any jewellery, from rings, tiaras, necklaces, bangles, to piercings can be found in their stores or bought custom made and designed from the company’s site. Cainshen Jewellers’ business model revolves around finding “exotic” locales or artisans to have custom pieces made from, giving buyers to have a wide selection of choices while allowing Caishen to rack up the price for supposedly premium hand-made goods.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
====History====


'''Imperial Plaza or [[Little Adhomai]]:''' The Imperial Plaza, nicknamed "Little Adhomai" due to its primarily [[Tajara|Tajaran]] population, has one of the highest crime rates in Mendell City. Gang violence, domestic disturbances, and drug trafficking are prevalent, and the district is not widely trafficked by those who reside outside of it. It has become a well-established centre of Tajaran culture in Tau Ceti.
Caishen Jewellers began in Eridani in 2367. Decades after the discovery of Skrell and their arrival to several systems, a wave of interest in Skrell fashion occurred in Eridani. It was during this time that the founder, Juno Idris, sought to find a way to use this trend. Their answer was to begin Caishen Jewellers. At first using Skrell and Eridani artists to provide their custom goods, branches and contacts were established with the Tajara and Unathi after humanity’s contact with them in 2418 and 2433 respectively. Now, Caishen Jewellers offers a diverse range of artists and pieces for one to gain, if they’re willing to spare the credits for it.  


'''District 7'''
====Major Brands====


'''Vega de Rosa:''' Vega de Rosa is an entertainment district home to casinos, nightclubs, bars, and theatres. At the centre of the district are its most expensive and elite clubs - with the Eridanian-operated Sa Majesté Musa regarded as the peak of Vega de Rosa. Reputed quality decreases as one heads out from the centre, with the lowest-quality venues barely scraping by on the outskirts of Vega de Rosa. This district shares a border with District Six, and the Vega de Rosa side of the border features a significant amount of Tajara-run casinos known for their quality and low cost.  
'''Moghean Majesty:'''  
Partnering with local goldsmiths and silversmiths in the Izweski capital of new Skalamar, Caishen offers pieces made by the expert hands of clans with centuries of experience and history in their productions. Some common pieces include bracelets made with family names artfully written upon them in Sinta’Unathi and ring earrings with religious charms looped through them. Calligraphy in Sinta’Unathi is the most common marker of a Unathi-made piece from Caishen Jewellers, etched onto almost every piece made.  


'''District 8'''
'''Tajaran Treasures:'''
Caishen retains contacts with several Tajaran artisans from across Adhomai. These include the carpenters and woodcarvers of Zatushka and the watchmakers of Baltor. Common pieces from this brand are lifelike and detailed wooden statuettes or ornate watches made of rare materials and beautiful clockwork. Oddly there also exists a small niche market for supposed war trinkets and items made of material left over from the Second Revolution.


'''Lekan District or [[Starlight Zone]]:''' Named after the City Commissioner Lekan Mugabe, who commissioned the development of the district, Lekan is an industrial centre housing the bulk of fusion power plants and water treatment plants of the city. This district is located on the shores of Severson's Rift, with multiple ports operating there. The district also houses massive recycling centres that neatly and efficiently sort through the thousands of tons of trash generated by the city. In recent years, the district now finds themselves at the middle of a [[Skrell]] refugee crisis.
'''Jewels of Nralakk:'''  
 
The oldest brand for Caishen at almost a century, pieces handmade by Skrellian master craftsmen still capture the attention of buyers today. Common choices are beautiful shining chains that can be made to be worn anywhere on one’s body, and piercings that can be surgically embedded to form a pattern. These products also find their way into the hands of the Skrell living in communities outside of the Nralakk Federation, as both a status symbol and a proud display of their culture.  
'''District 9'''
 
'''[[Flagsdale]]:''' Also known as Vaur’xoer (‘The City Upside-down’), Flagsdale holds the largest concentration of Vaurcae in Mendell. Originally an unpopulated industrial slum, it has been largely repurposed by Vaurcae and mainly the Zo’ra Hive. The lack of streetlights and maze-like streets, many with debris or abandoned cars blocking them, make it hard for Mendell City Police to navigate and keep order. This, alongside the famine conditions, stranded Queenless Vaurcae, and illegal k’ois pits have made it largely a growing ground for disease, poverty and crime.  


'''Discount Diamonds:'''
Cheap and easily available, Discount Diamonds is surprisingly the most successful of Caishen’s brands. The affordability of their synthetic diamond pieces has allowed anyone to purchase one, and their stores often sell out of these pieces before new shipments can arrive. Mass production and shifting trends have led to this jewellery being mass produced, shipped out, and inevitably dumped in junkyards when the next big trend happens. This has made Discount Diamonds a massive source of free “gems” for the destitute, such as dregs.

'''District 10'''
“Vouloir, c’est pouvoir!” (Translated from Tradeband: “When there is will, there is a way!”)


'''Republic's Landing:''' A large commercial district taking advantage of the multiple civilian shuttleports in the area. It has two amusement parks, ports for orbital cruise ships, various museums and other tourist attractions, and the world's largest hotel, the Crimson Heights. It has a direct maglev link to Districts five and three. A significant amount of Republic's Landing is zoned for residential development, with those that can afford or (or need the convenience) living here to avoid most of the commute to its shuttleports. District 10 is home to a significant Th'akh Unathi population, as it is home to the exiled monks of the [[Unathi_Abroad#Mendell_City_-_The_Akhanzi_Exiles|Akhanzi Order]].
'''Chief Executive Officer:''' Emilie de Couturier, b. 2427


'''District 11'''
A massive fashion conglomerate - the largest in the Orion Spur - originating on Earth, Le Royal has centuries of experience - though some of its employees will brag about having over a millennium of experience - in crafting the best clothing known to humanity. Le Royal’s business model relies on being the best of the best of the best, with no others even coming close. It, unlike other Idris Incorporated subsidiaries, employs no known positronic workers. Its current Director, Emilie de Couturier, had cited the “more creative nature of humans” as the reason for this decision, which has brought Le Royal into some conflict with its parent company. But as long as the money keeps coming into Le Royal hand over fist, any change to its current business model is unlikely.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''Eleven:''' The result of urban sprawl and low-income housing, this district is regarded as the worst district in Mendell aside from districts nine. Along with district six, "Eleven" claims the dubious honor of possessing one of Mendell City's highest rates of violent crime. Gangs and criminal enterprise rule the abandoned streets, and many of the buildings are derelict structures. Attempts to revitalize this forgotten district have fallen flat, with legislation dedicated to revitalization and those dedicated to reforming the district not lasting long in Mendell City's municipal government. [[NanoTrasen]] often recruits entry-level staff from this district and houses them on the Odin in a mutually beneficial move; the new employee is "rescued" by their corporate benefactors, and NanoTrasen gets a fanatically loyal employee. [[Dionae_Clusters#The_Biesellian_Choir|A large community of Dionae live within District 11]], alongside the Eternal Temple. District 11 is also home to several [[Unathi]] criminal organizations, with the Aut'akh [[Aut'akh#The_Razortail_Enclave,_"the_Ruffians"|Razortail Enclave]] and the gang known as the [[Unathi_Abroad#Mendell_City_-_The_Bastard_Hatchlings|Bastard Hatchlings]] being the two most notable.
====Major Brands:====


'''District 12'''
'''Walk Like Idris:'''  
Producers of the finest footwear in the Orion Spur (as long as your feet aren’t clawed), Walk Like Idris is the most well-known of Le Royal’s brands thanks to all Idris Incorporated employees being issued a pair of their shoes upon completing their probationary period (the cost is subtracted from one’s paycheck, and buying these shoes is not optional). From the boardrooms of Eridani to the banks of Mendell City, everybody that’s somebody is walking like Idris.


'''Xavier District:''' District 12 is one of the largest gathering of intellectual properties in human space. This single district has over twenty-five universities, fifteen colleges, thirty high schools, four training centers, and three NanoTrasen research facilities, as well as other corporate research laboratories. Xavier District is officially classed as a residential district, a measure proposed by NanoTrasen's liaison on City Council. Some suspect the lower property taxes in residential zones was perhaps the reason behind this. Formerly known as the Think Tank, this district was renamed in remembrance of Xavier Trasen shortly after the corporation firmly entrenched itself in the system.
'''The Aspirants:'''  
A collective name for Le Royal’s constituent luxury clothing brands, The Aspirants specialize into the creation of extremely high-end and high-quality clothing. Custom orders are very common, and the conglomerate is famous for its ability to complete custom orders quickly while meeting a bar of quality met by no other fashion house. While it produces for clients as far afield as Domina and the Coalition, it only accepts orders for human clothing.


'''District 13'''
'''Wear Like Idris:'''  
The more affordable - but still prestigious - relative of The Aspirants, Wear Like Idris produces fashionable clothing for the more typical resident of the Orion Spur, including non-human customers. Its trendy clothing - and its stores - can be found on almost every planet in the civilized Orion Spur, making it one of the most widespread subsidiaries of any corporation.


'''Bullard Avenue:''' Although this northern district is much larger than the single avenue it is named for, Bullard Avenue is the economic centre of Mendell City. This district home to large banking centres, the Mendell City Stock market, and other finance institutions that help drive the commerce of one of the Orion Spur's wealthiest systems. Although the majority of the district is designated commercial properties, there are some residential complexes to be found here that are typically rented to those who work within the district. Many of the apartment buildings here are populated by Idris Incorporated employees and the IPCs that follow them everywhere, with service-model shells being a common sight.  
'''Synthetic Fashion:'''  
While Le Royal does not employ synthetics, it does design and produce clothing for them - including the infamous coats commonly associated with Idris Reclamation Units. As it primarily produces clothing for shells, Synthetic Fashion clothing is deliberately designed to be light and breathable to allow for maximum cooling. This has unintentionally made it quite popular on hot planets such as Medina, and there has been some talk of expanding the brand’s focus on the human side  of their market.
</div></div>


'''District 14'''
== Corporate Relations ==
===[[Einstein Engines]]===
Idris and Einstein have a generally positive relationship, with little need for competition. The vast majority of Idris-owned Shell IPCs are manufactured by Einstein, and their robotics division has allegedly developed several enhanced combat modifications for higher-end Idris Reclamation Units. Idris vessels tend to favor Einstein-produced warp drives over NanoTrasen-produced bluespace drives, with the exception of some of their higher-end security vessels and luxury yachts which advertise speed of travel as a major bonus. Following Solarian nationalization efforts, Idris and Einstein are the two most influential corporations in the Alliance, with Idris having paid high fees to avoid nationalization of its assets. This has given the two corporations a mutual goal -  maintaining their own prominence in Solarian affairs, and ensuring that future anti-corporate legislation remains directed at their rivals. Einstein and Idris have both heavily invested in their own PR within the Alliance, remaining invested in Sol's future development.


'''New Detroit or The Scrapheap:''' An industrial district that houses a large portion of automated factories. Due to the recent embargo by the [[Sol Alliance]], the district has fallen on hard times as material shortages have reduced industrial output as the City attempts to stimulate growth through subsidizing domestic material production of plasteel through NanoTrasen to replace the other materials. The area has a large IPC community within it which is heavily discriminated against. The Trinary Perfection, a synthetic-centric religion, has a major presence here.  
===[[Hephaestus Industries]]===
Hephaestus and Idris remain on good terms, despite Hephaestus CEO Titanius Aeson's reported dislike of Idris CEO Alex Mason. Idris purchases many Hephaestus-made IPCs, particularly industrial models, for use as part of its security branch. Due to the lack of overlap between the two corporations' respective fields, little opportunity for conflict has arisen between Hephaestus and Idris, with the two corporations having been known to align on several issues - maintaining their power in the face of the increasingly antagonistic Sol Alliance and establishing further influence in the Republic of Biesel as NanoTrasen's control declines being the two main issues on which Hephaestus and Idris align.


'''District 15'''
===[[NanoTrasen]]===
NanoTrasen and Idris have never been fierce rivals, though Idris's continued prominence in Sol and its expansion into Biesel has led to tension between the two megacorporations. As Idris expanded its banking operations into NanoTrasen's center of power, NanoTrasen attempted to hold onto their banking business in Tau Ceti, incentivizing its employees to only make use of NanoTrasen banking instead - despite the many advantages that Idris held as a competitor. So far, Idris has been gradually expanding its presence in the Republic's financial sector, with many NanoTrasen employees switching to the use of Idris banks despite their employer's wishes. Idris has begun offering hiring bonuses to NanoTrasen employees in an effort to further weaken their power over Biesel's financial sector, as well as establishing branches in many of the former Solarian worlds of the Corporate Reconstruction Zone, where NanoTrasen holds much less direct influence. Though NanoTrasen has issued little official response to this, Idris transport vessels seem to commonly come under attack by pirates in the Reconstruction Zone, with many speculating the phoron giant is attempting to undermine confidence in Idris's renowned security.


'''Jie District:''' The district where the majority of the city's low-income housing is located, this district is located on the outskirts of Mendell City but is not designated a suburb like D4 or D5. Before it was turned into subsidized housing, this area of the city was a location where displaced refugees of the First Interstellar War resided. This district was formerly known as the Suo District, named after the Sol Alliance admiral Wen Suo, however, this district was renamed after the Republic Navy Admiral Zheng Jie who grew up in this district following independence. Despite its patriotic name pro-Solarian sentiment is high the Jie District, which often feels abandoned by the Republic of Biesel in general.
===[[Orion Express]]===
Orion and Idris have little in the way of competition - though Orion has expanded into the service sector, they have targeted a very different clientele than Idris aims for. Idris relied on Meng Logistics Incorporated for several deliveries to Silversun prior to the formation of Orion Express, and reportedly advocated for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate's purchase of the small shipping company in 2463. Orion avoided the wave of Solarian nationalization by formed after the creation of the Solarian Corporate Authority, but Idris has wielded its remaining influence in Sol against the voices pushing for Orion to be subject to the same harsh penalties of the rest of the SCC - ensuring that, at least for now, Orion remains able to operate freely in Alliance space.


</div></div>
===[[Zavodskoi Interstellar]]===
Zavodskoi and Idris have been frequent competitors in the fields of security and IPC manufacturing, leading to a long-running mutual rivalry between the two corporation. Lyudmila Zavodskoi is known to have a personal distaste for Alex Mason, and Zavodskoi has frequently undercut Idris security operations in the Sol Alliance and Republic of Biesel. Zavodskoi employees are strongly discouraged from using Idris financial services, which NanoTrasen has done its best to encourage as many Zavodskoi employees in Biesel opt to make use of NanoTrasen banks instead. Idris has marketed its security division extensively as a high-class security option, with unstated implications of the marketing casting other corporations' security as little better than thuggish mercenaries, which Zavodskoi unsuccessfully attempted to sue Idris over. Though their rivalry is not as intense as that of Zavodskoi and Hephaestus, the two corporations remain on far from friendly terms.


==Other Major Cities==
===[[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]]===
Idris and Zeng-Hu have never been direct competitors, with the two corporations operating in radically different sectors. Many Idris-patented cosmetics are manufactured by Zeng-Hu labs, and the pharmaceutical giant is known to favor Idris transport vessels for its high-value cargo. Rumors are commonly spread on the Extranet that Zeng-Hu genetic modification has been used to enhance Idris executives to be superior to their competition - though these are widely derided as nothing more than conspiracy theories. In recent years, the two corporations have come to face a common threat - the rising anti-corporate sentiment within the Sol Alliance, historically a stronghold for both Idris and Zeng-Hu.  As Idris maintains one of the best relationships with the Alliance, and has proved one of the most difficult corporations for Sol to shake the influence of, Zeng-Hu has allegedly hired Idris public relations specialists to maintain their image within Sol, attempting to ensure that Alliance citizens maintain a favorable view of Zeng-Hu's operations.


'''Cape City:''' Otherwise known as the “City of Splendor” by many Biesellites, is a city focused heavily on entertainment, production of holovids, and exorbitant tourist attractions. Situated around and on the side of Mount Nevermeet in the midst of the Cape Sea, the entertainment centre sits comfortably by scenic vistas, large themed resorts, and studios for filming and recording. However, due to unique labor laws, it has gained a bad reputation among non-humans for being exploitative and predatory in their practices. Any xenos looking to gain entry into fields like animation, studio production, acting, and the like face harsh stereotypes and discrimination, poorer qualities of living, and shop and drop contracts (hiring someone, forcing them to work an unusually high amount of hours a week, then “dropping” them if they protest or request different hours after a short period contract expires). Nonetheless, Cape City is on the up-and-up, and only time will tell its rise to the intergalactic stage as a media giant or not.
==Relations with Trans-stellar Factions==


'''Phoenixport:''' In a similar way to Mendell City, Selene's capital, Phoenixport, is located along the inner coast of its continent along Severson's Rift. After rebranding as a "successor" to Mendell City, the city gained prominence and briefly achieved its goal. Phoenixport was briefly successful, but fell off the radar and eventually became a breeding ground for nefarious behaviour. In another effort to revive interest in the city, government officials introduced replicas of various ancient architectural wonders. Examples include the Eiffel Tower and the Parthenon. Overall, the construction scheme did improve the quality of the city and even attracted large numbers of tourists eager to see the wonders rebuilt far from the dire conditions on Earth. [[KING_OF_THE_WORLD#LANDMARK_COURT_DECISION_SEES_EINSTEIN_ENGINES_DEFEAT_NANOTRASEN!|In late 2462]], Phoenixport was acquired by [[Einstein Engines]] in a landmark auction. [[NanoTrasen]], however, did not take the transfer of ownership idly - any NanoTrasen employees within Phoenixport were given until March of 2463 to relocate or be summarily fired. After an appeal by NanoTrasen in 2464, which proved that Einstein Engines had illegally acquired assets within Phoenixport, much of the corporate assets found themselves up for grabs yet again. Despite assistance from [[Idris Incorporated]], NanoTrasen failed to secure a majority holding within Phoenixport, with Einstein Engines continuing its hegemony over the city. Subsequently, the discrimination faced by those in Phoenixport by local law enforcement has decreased significantly, as well as the "random" searches of Phoenixport-flagged spacecraft. Some of those forced from their homes during the original dispute have since begun to slowly return.
Relations with all corporations are heavily tied to every echelon of even the most detached factions in the Orion Spur. As the corporations have seeped into every facet of one’s livelihood as far as the eye can see, few find it unimportant to maintain some degree of knowledge on the megacorps.  


'''Belle Cote:''' Situated at the southernmost edge of the Pandeia Penisula, hedged in by the Greatkrag ranges, Belle Cote is considered Biesel’s centre of finance, fashion and arts. The Selenian Moth, an insect that produces a resilient fibre that is common in textile manufacturing, was discovered by colonists early on in the development of the colony. A result of this discovery was the rapid decline of fishing and the emergence of the fashion industry. With an annual show, Belle Cote pushed the boundaries of fashion vogue and still does so to this day. Those living in Belle Cote are often considered to be a bit stuck up, looking down on others who don't keep up to date with their trendy outlandish trends. Even the poorest dress themselves in their eccentric styles. It is a popular honeymoon and wedding destination, which the artisanal community has begun franchising upon.  
This megacorporation’s noteworthy relations with the major powers are below, and may be very important to you.


'''Ashton:''' In the heart of Selene, Ashton sits among miles of rolling farmlands that are home to dozens of different species of flora, including some that are native to Biesel. Due to its dominant agricultural industry, the community's economy has become centred on agriculture, as illustrated by its bimonthly Ashton farmer's market, which draws residents from surrounding cities alike and has become a cornerstone of the community's economy. As a whole, Ashtons are noted for being incredibly welcoming and cheerful. In recent years, Ashton has become home to [[Unathi_Abroad#Ashton_-_The_Escapees|a significant Unathi diaspora]], as many refugees from [[the Wasteland]] of [[Moghes]] were resettled there.
===Crevus===
When megacorporations arrived to [[Crevus]] following first contact with the Tajara in 2418, none captured the eyes of the locals better than Idris Incorporated. The company enjoyed major success in the city in the decades since their establishment there. Idris products fly off the shelves and into the hands of buying consumers looking to hop on new fashion trends or to improve their own wardrobes. Any two-bit gambler worthy of the title or rich scion makes sure to wear at least one Idris watch or tailored shirt minimum when they’re out on the town. Tourists regularly come to Crevus on Idris transports to partake in a safer Tajaran cultural experience. The company is even patronized heavily by the ruling crime families that allow it to co-partner on some of their businesses. ISUs are present there as well to function as security for Idris employee housing at the Pam Hu District, the company’s mall, and are rented by some of the rich to function as bodyguards.
Crevan workers make up the bulk of Tajara that work for Idris. Those who enter the service economy tend to be run of the mill citizens or failed entertainers. Those who work for the security teams are former crime family enforcers. The skills these street-hardened men and women gained in that line of work translate well into the corporate environment they found themselves in after signing on. While their cheap price matches their quality, these Tajara make up for it with a vicious eagerness for their work. They can typically be found running night security, transporting credits, or as cost-effective security details. Due to the Tajara bans and prevailing xenophobia, Tajara were never used at Idris installations within the Sol Alliance or in Elyra. Recruitment of Tajara has steadily increased following the end of the Second Revolution.


'''Scottsdan:''' The continental capital of Eos and the industrial giant of Biesel. Its abundance of raw resources, provided by the Sevul Range, and the refinery processing capabilities has resulted in megacorporations expanding their operations within the city. There is a growing robotics industry, with Hephaestus Industries, Confiance Technologies and Terranius Diagnostics locked in a perpetual war of dominance. Most of the goods produced within Scottsdan are transported via monorails designed to carry freight to Ports-Ville, the closest port to both Mendell City and Phoenixport on Eos. Citizens of Scottsdan are remarkably hard-working according to the megacorporations, however, some prefer to call them stuck up doormats due to their snooty, sycophant tendencies.  
===Golden Deep Collective===
Although opinions may differ between merchants, the Golden Deep and Idris Incorporated generally have an amicable, albeit cautious, relationship. Largely due to the Idris brand and an emphasis on customer service, many Idris retired synthetics from the service field find themselves purchased instead by the Golden Deep. Moreover the Golden Deep and Idris commonly engage in trade, supplying the mega-corporation with exotic luxury goods from across the galaxy. However some Golden Deep synthetics have voiced concern for the increased relations with the human run corporation.


'''Top of the World:''' Previously a sleepy town, Lakeside has now shot to prominence after Miranda Trasen herself funded the borough. Several acreages along the coast of Griff's Lake were cleared to construct a gated community floating along the lake, with many of the original residents of Lakeside offered contracts to move to Ashton, New Marfa, or Mendell to make room for roads, parking lots, and bridges to the community.
===Solarian Alliance===
Idris arguably maintains the best working relationship with the Alliance of any megacorporation aside from Einstein Engines thanks to its focus on luxury goods and banking instead of creating dangerous breakaway states or crashing the interstellar economy. The megacorporation paid its way out of nationalization efforts by the Alliance following the Solarian Collapse and continues to dominate the banking, tourism, and luxury goods sectors of the shrunken Alliance. While it does not dominate the Alliance's economy to the extent of other corporations Idris' deep banking and luxury goods connections throughout the Jewel Worlds make it extremely difficult to dislodge and quite popular among most movers and shakers in the Solarian political scene. While Idris Incorporated tourism facilities can be found throughout the Jewel Worlds - particularly on [[Europa]] - it has the most control over [[Silversun]], despite protests from many residents of the planet at their home being turned into a massive resort for wealthy Solarians. Idris incorporated often does business with [[Einstein Engines]] in the Alliance, despite protests from NanoTrasen.


Now, Top of the World is uniquely populated by those who are gifted access by Miranda Trasen herself, or those able to afford the ridiculously expensive “warranty”. Only the highest of echelons exist within the man-made island. Beneath its surface exists an experimental fusion reactor of unprecedented scale that some residents have accused of being dangerously radioactive, though authorities assure residents there is no danger found in its proximity to Lakeside.
===New Kingdom of Adhomai===


Prior to 2463, an entire community of positronics was manufactured by NanoTrasen that existed purely to maintain Top of the World. After 2463, these IPCs have been made obsolete after the introduction of a triumvirate of artificial intelligences; Exteriores, Interiorem and Centrum. They coordinate with an array of bound drones, completing the tasks previously assigned to hundreds of independent positronic bodies, a cost-saving measure compared to aging IPCs. Said IPCs were quickly placed into other jobs or positions within NanoTrasen, typically far more dangerous than the previous maintenance and janitorial duties.
After the end of the Second Revolution, Idris Incorporated was quick to establish itself in the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Besides offering loans to the government and the nobility, the corporation is also heavily involved in the service sector. Idris provides alien luxury goods to the nobles while exporting Adhomian handcrafted items, such as the famous Baltor watches, to the galaxy. Thanks to the growing royalist tourist industry, the megacorporation is now investing in opening luxury resorts throughout the Kingdom.  


The quality of life between Top of the World and Lakeside is stark. Poverty grips the majority of the population nestled within the backwater town. Dilapidated houses are a common sight within Lakeside, even entire houses sunken into the growing marsh.
New Kingdom Tajara hired by Idris will usually be employed in its service sector. However, many sought employment in their security departments because of the influx of veterans caused by the end of the civil war. Idris Incorporated is regarded as the best corporation to work for in the NKA's public opinion; being one of its employees is considered a matter of pride. Tajara who seek employment in other megacorporations that share the same sectors with Idris are considered to have gone with a second-rate option.


'''Ports-Ville:''' Ports-Ville was originally established as a fishing and shipbuilding hub when Biesel was originally settled. For decades, the city was prosperous, supplying the planet with massive cargo ships to traverse its great blue oceans. After Biesel’s independence from the Alliance, however, Solarian subsidies for the industry disappeared and NanoTrasen found that shipbuilding was now cost-inefficient due to the continuing decrease of shipping goods by shuttle or spacecraft. The company withdrew most of its investment in the city’s heavy industry nearly overnight, causing the local economy to recede and the city itself to gradually decay into a patchwork of run-down apartment blocks, abandoned shipyards, and fishing ports in desperate need of maintenance.
Recently, however, [[Hephaestus Industries]] has brought up much of these abandoned facilities with hopes of retooling the city into a spaceship production centre on Biesel. This has also coincided with the megacorporation inviting many Martian refugees fleeing from the [[Mars#The Violet Dawn Explosion|Violet Dawn disaster]] to resettle in the city to work at these new facilities. Ports-Ville itself is unprepared for this great migration of people and is in the middle of a severe housing shortage, with many new arrivals finding themselves living in makeshift tent-town camps as a result. It is yet to be seen if this new investment by Hephaestus Industries will pay off and revitalise the city once more, as the influx of Martian refugees has so far only continued to strain the city’s already declining economy.
'''New Marfa:''' Established along the eastern coastline of Eos, New Marfa is one of few cities on Biesel without megacorporate dominance, which is largely attributed to its status as a hub for [[Republic of Elyra|Elyran]] migrants; half if not most of the citizens are either Elyran immigrants and expatriates or directly descended from one. Elyran culture is dominant in the city, to the point that at a glance, it has become nearly indistinguishable from a city in Persepolis. Elyran megacorporations retain a minority over the market with the SCC megacorporations, and the competition has led to a flourishing synthetic development sector. With a thriving glass refining industry and healthy technology sector, New Marfa’s advancements in the fields of robotics are said to be at least a year ahead of everything else on Biesel.
'''Craterview:''' Craterview has managed to become the vacation and resort city of the Republic of Biesel, with large [[Idris Incorporated|Idris]] Hotels lining the interior perimeter of the beaches and small family-run motels dotting the plots of land surrounding the beaches. Crime rates soar the farther one strays from the city centre, as locals defraud and steal from tourists drawn to their slice of Biesel. Other than the tourism industry, the fishing industry also does well, leading to a growing presence of local seafood hibachi restaurants. In addition to year-round sunshine and tropical climate, Craterview is occasionally interrupted by tropical storms. It is no wonder that boat races have become an attraction, even becoming an event for betting. In the rich suburbs, marinas line beachfront estates where [[Eridani Federation Military|Eridani Private Military Contractors]] are often spotted. It is well known that residents of Craterview are both competitive and sceptical of the wealthy.

Idris Incorporated is an interstellar corporate bank headquartered in the Sol Alliance, though after the Solarian Collapse its branch in the Republic of Biesel has grown to become its most prominent base of operations. Representing the largest banking institution in the Orion Spur, they hold a practical monopoly over banking and financial services throughout human space. Idris financial advice is regarded by millions of businesses as something short of divine guidance, the bank able to predict, influence and even control the flow of stock markets in Sol and beyond, power frequently used to bend situations and create favourable openings. Since providing secure credit storage for individuals, corporations and governments alike require a robust security presence, Idris fields one of the largest private security forces spread throughout its vast number of facilities, vaults, banks and commercial establishments. To that end, a sizable synthetic division has been developed to reinforce and partake in various activities, most notably debt reclamation.

Furthermore, the company manages a number of luxury product chains, hotels and high-class entertainment centres in a multitude of worlds across the Spur, expanding their clientele and becoming the go-to provider for powerful and influential elites of all calibres and tastes.

Corporate Affairs

History

Idris Incorporated was founded in 2152, as pressure grew for a secure way to store credits and have them transferable across solar systems. Idris Trust was at the time, one of the few banking institutions that offered interstellar services based in Sol, making them one of the most experimental, yet immensely convenient choices for business firms, especially centred around Eridani space. Under supervision from the Idris family, the bank grew astonishingly as more and more large businesses and corporations noticed the need to expand and extend their influence across the stars. It was then when it was decided that they touch on other fields, entering the stage of megacorporations.

Starting off, all of the most lucrative fields had already been dominated by firms such as Hephaestus Industries and NanoTrasen. As such, it was decided that a more commercial approach would be followed, focusing on catering to society’s elite and higher classes, providing high-end fashion and luxury products as well as services. With enough effort put in, Idris Incorporated secured a concrete foothold in the Solarian and Tau Ceti markets, with the next big prospective hit being the new cybernetics and augmentation services on Epsilon Eridani. As the corporation developed, so did its banking services and figures, landing it the title of the biggest bank in the known galaxy.

Meanwhile, Idris Incorporated has managed to secure a place in the service synthetic sector, creating its own software and a dedicated IPC shell frame line intended for use as clerks and customer service, the hardware creation contracted out to Hephaestus. Still, the company is famed for its outstanding human staff in the high-end service sector, with many acclaimed chefs and mixologists to accompany the high brass on their business trips, soothing big deals.

Today, Idris Incorporated is a member of the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate, joining efforts with the other megacorporations as former rivals put aside their differences. Or so it seems.

The bank has begun offering hiring bonuses to those who work for other major interstellar corporations to draw people away from their competitors. However, they are still in a struggle with NanoTrasen due to its large employee base mainly using the company's bank as their method of storing funds, preventing Idris from having a large number of members. This has caused strained relationships between NanoTrasen and Idris Incorporated.

Influence

Idris Incorporated exercises authority over seven million major banks spread across Human space and beyond, and has come to find itself in virtually every major power's pocket in some form or fashion. While not openly contesting NanoTrasen's net worth, Idris and its services can be found to extend as far as its looming superior can see.

As the go-to business for any and all banking in the Orion Spur, Idris is a notably secretive corporation. Reasonably so, it possesses the financial information of almost every living being in the galaxy. With great power comes great responsibility, and whatever power the Idris family was given has clearly gone to their heads - the decisions of higher-ups are erratic, and unpredictable at best. Some owe Idris’ continued place in the galactic stage to Zeng-Hu tech giving their executives genetic advantages over the opposition - others believe it’s just a big conspiracy and reminiscent of a big gang.

The deeper one looks into Idris, the less prominent people tend to be. Higher ranking officials slowly slither out of the public eye and find themselves officially retreating to luxurious hideaways - ones they’re never found using. Whatever the case, shady tactics and illicit business are part of the trade for a trusted Idris associate. Whether the effects of this drip down to the level of the crew is up to you, the reader.

Idris, being fabulously rich, has no issue with paying others to do their dirty work. Its employees are well-paid, and often well-trained.

Idris Family

Founded by wealthy businessman William Idris, not much is known about the people behind the world’s largest human bank. Through the generations, the Idris would acquire land and create estates all over the core worlds of Sol, their rich tastes in items and architecture characterising every Idris property in unique ways.

A very secretive family, the Idris never shared private information with the public. This has made them the subject of many theories by those who care enough. Their Eridanian connections appear to have enabled them to embrace heavy augmentations. The bright artificial blue light of the eyes, full coats, dark gloves and what appear to be bright cyan blood vessels on the necks of the most senior, fully retired from public eye family members, never fail to reinforce the feelings of abnormality and fear.

Despite their secret life, the Idris are known for their dubious deals and shady business, while perfectly maintaining the aura of outstanding, honest customer service they are so renowned for. It is no secret though, that when they feel their interests threatened, none of them would hesitate to adopt extreme measures. No few were the cases of “mysterious disappearances” of small rival business strongmen, or of “miraculous turnings” of problem customers, into ideal clients.

Positronics and Idris Incorporated

"We have authority to reclaim your security as per your loan agreement. I am cleared to use reasonable force to achieve this directive. Do not resist."

Notorious across the known galaxy, Idris Reclamation Units are shell IPCs constructed and programmed to investigate, interrogate as well as reclaim securities and or assets from a client in arrears. Capable of excellent customer service and a novelty to agreeable customers, their notoriety stems from their inhuman treatment of "problem customers". In the interest of carrying out their various 'directives', Reclamation Units are programmed, and granted authorization for, the usage of 'reasonable force' against clients, though this reliably never trends towards irreparable injury or death. A majority of contracts are settled ‘diplomatically’, with reasonable force, in teams of two units. Idris Reclamation Units are designated by the prefix “IRU-” followed by their name. An example of this formatting is IRU-Name.

Idris Incorporated's Synthetic Department consists of both an investigative and asset reclamation division, as well as a security division. The Idris Security Division consists of medium to heavy class IPCs for use as bank security as well as higher risk reclamation contracts.

Known problematic clients will warrant the usage of the Idris Security Units. More often than not, these will consist of baseline and G2 chassis, though it's not unheard of to see different models. These teams are always accompanied by a human handler, who will be responsible for coordination and oversight. This is in order to manage the operation, authorize actions, command the unit, and secure any fallen members/equipment. The human handler will rarely engage in conflict directly, reserving the more dangerous operations to the IPC security detail units. IPC security teams consist of between 2-6 IPCs per human handler. Idris Security Units are designated by the prefix “ISU-” followed by their name. An example of this formatting is ISU-Name.

All Idris Security Units are expected to adopt the IRU- or ISU- prefix.

Hierarchy between reclamation and security units is often determined on a case by case basis by the units’ handlers. This ensures orderly and efficient management in environments where IPCs may be without the immediate oversight of their human superiors. However Idris Incorporated employees are always considered as possessing seniority to the IPC security and reclamation units. Both reclamation and security units are carefully monitored by their human handlers and undergo regular check ins. Uniformity and obedience is expected, where behavior outside the norm often results in severe punishment. Idris Security and Reclamation units are expected to wear the “Idris Unit coat” found in the Loadout under the Xenowear - IPC tab.

Given the sensitive nature of their field, Idris Incorporated synthetics are barred from acquiring freedom and if sold, their positronic brains are memory wiped. Synthetics that are close to paying themselves off are quietly transferred to other branches wherein such laws do not apply. Many IRUs and ISUs are sold second hand or loaned out to various corporations who usually utilize them for security or investigation work.

Executives and Branches

Alex Mason, Idris' Chief Executive Officer.

Executives

Idris is run by the Board of Governors, lead by Chairman Markus Idris. The Board of Governors oversee the general function of the bank, with teams in Sol and Tau Ceti managing more local problems.

Chief Technology Officer: Carol Cojocaru, b. 2380

An old name in Idris, Cojocaru earned his position not from backroom dealing or business acumen, but by an unerring belief in technological innovation. First making a name for himself as a roboticist in charge of ISUs back in 2423, in Chicago. As the first shells began to be produced, the Earther quickly realized the immense potential of shells in the company’s facilities and was quickly accepted into the nascent Idris Reclamation Unit program. As it became clear that the program would find more success in other systems, he quickly transferred after proposing a plan to roll out shell workers in most of Idris’ Earth enterprises, earning a promotion to Chief Technology Officer with his relentless drive to have them implemented across the entire company. Many suspect the strain of such a massive change to the company in a short time broke Carol, with the man suffering a heart attack by 2454 at the age of 48. Since then, his worldview seemingly changed, with the old roboticist acting fiercely resistant to change - indeed, attempts to contract IRUs out to other companies were stonewalled by him until 2460. The man is personally known for his surprisingly good insight, volatile personality, and immense caution. With the man getting older, many of his subordinates are waiting for the opportunity to unseat a head they now view as overly conservative.

Idris Family Patriarch: Adram Idris, b. 2353

With his life after retirement shrouded in mystery, the 112-year-old man has been at the forefront of Idris for over half a century. While not a member of the Board, Adram Idris’ decision to promote his protege, Alex Mason, as the new chief executive has raised questions about the real figure behind the administration. A once personal acquaintance of Xavier Trasen, Adram’s role in the expansion of the banking institute into Tau Ceti has been key to the truly all-encompassing reach it enjoys today. Head of the Idris family and estates, his combined personal and family wealth is one of the most closely guarded secrets, arousing the interest of analysts and conspiracy theorists whose most conservative estimations regularly place him as either the first or second wealthiest private individual, alongside Miranda Trasen. No matter the case, he has regularly shunned personal and family publicity, enforcing strict policies of privacy and avoidance of public appearances which only the younger Idris can get away from.

Executive Member: Stanley Dittmeier, b. 2414

Another Lunarian born in affluence, Dittmeier’s career started at a young age, entrepreneuring in various fields, pitching dodgy inventions and products in various attempts of achieving a successful business. Never the type of person to give up, his persistence despite the failures and toeing the line of financial ruin allowed him to enter a wide social network of business individuals, including the Idris affiliated Alex Mason. Impressed with his character, business bravado and willingness to push the line in the name of profit, it wasn’t long until he had granted Stanley the position of personal secretary, a rank which followed Mason and his rapid climb to the top. A result of blatant utilitarianism, his elevation to the Board of Directors in the vague role of “Executive Member” has resulted in many controversies within inner circles. However, his undoubted usefulness as a crafty, underhanded deal maker and close confidant of Alex Mason renders him immune from open criticism.

Branches

Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Earth, Sol: As the most ancient and arguably most developed branch in Sol, Abidjan directs the corporation’s significant activity in Alliance space, centred around the core worlds and the Sol system itself. The birthplace of Adram Idris himself, it is regarded as the primary stronghold of Idris influence in the Alliance. Branch directors are often at liberty to strike deals and preserve a working relationship with an increasingly uneasy government after the formation of the SCC. Though major issues with the Alliance are easily settled or mitigated due to Idris’ influence over the fragile Solarian economy, relatively good relations and agreements with Einstein Engines have roused complaints from Nanotrasen factors, the Board often claiming such as necessary for the status quo. From a more local view, the Abidjan branch dominates the city with its innumerable Idris affiliated businesses, casinos and banking facilities. The headquarters complex on the outskirts is the largest and most guarded private area in the city and possibly West Africa, serving as a base for the corporation’s every need in the system, a private shuttle port offering a direct connection to the planetary orbit and Unity Station.

Mendell City, Biesel, Tau Ceti: Idris Incorporated’s branch in Mendell City can be found near the edge of the Phoenix Park District, exerting control over all operations in Republic space and skyrocketing in importance as the main representative of company interests in the wider megacorporate world, after the creation of the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate. Recent funding and a shift of more focus to the Republic has allowed for immense renovations with a brand new skyscraper, “The Tower”, catching the eye as the tallest in the district and the second the whole of Mendell, coming face to face with the marginally higher Nanotrasen Headquarters. The surrounding complex serves as a base of operations for the Tau Ceti security and reclamation divisions, providing living quarters for Idris employees and guards as well as an underground warehouse for synthetic storage. Center to Mendell’s commercial district, its presence has created a shift, moving the centre of the City’s financial sector to its surrounding area with the help of the centralised Idris Mendell City Bank, the planet’s main and most important banking establishment.

Eridani I, Epsilon Eridani: The Eridani I branch serves as the overall Idris headquarters for the Eridani system, regarded as the third most important corporate branch. Idris’ presence in the Eridani market and society is not as vast as Hephaestus, often struggling to compete against them. Nevertheless, Idris banking remains king amongst the rest, the Eridani elite enjoying significant benefits as incentives compared to other areas, for their much needed continued support. Idris facilities are scattered throughout the megacities, the higher echelons occupying the higher locations. The headquarters themselves are situated in various skyscraper complexes all over the city, a product of the tremendous corporate entanglement and complexities dominating the Federation. The Eridani I branch is also home to Idris’ newest bid into the cybernetics and synthetics division, possessing facilities that serve as the main heavy-duty maintenance station for Idris synthetics, as well as the main centre for research in augmentation technology and software development.

Silversun, Middle Colonies, Sol Alliance: The Silversun branch of Idris is the final regional branch, dedicated to serving as the headquarters for company interests on the planet. Tasked with directing the corporation’s meddling efforts in the government through the Tourism Development Group of Silversun, the local Idris offices are staffed with expert political manipulators and lobbyists. The vast, planetary-scale investments have rendered Silversun the busiest and most populous regional branch, making the physical presence of the corporation impossible to miss on nearly every corner. Planned by some of Sol’s most renowned architects, Idris buildings blend in perfectly with the serene environment of Silversun. In practice however, vast underground complexes form a network of storage and office spaces, as well as living quarters for the many Expatriate employees. All this is done in order to avoid interference with the pristine environment as much as possible, the more complex and common above-surface compounds and skyscrapers being avoided as much as possible. Lastly, the planet serves as a popular vacation spot for the majority of mid to high tier executives; a company-sponsored leave on Silversun is considered a standard and often a much-appreciated reward for productive and valuable employees.

Subsidiaries

The subsidiaries of all megacorporations are as endless as their own direct employees, with massive swaths of businesses being occupied or dropped on a daily basis on a galactic scale. Whether businesses flourish alongside or get crushed by the corporate powers is found to be a case-by-case scenario. This means that any independent business, at least outside of Tau Ceti and the Eridani Corporate Federation, can reasonably survive indefinitely without the megas grabbing them. However, should these businesses elevate to anything worthwhile, it is reasonable to assume they’ve already fallen to the whim and will of the economic rulers of the Orion Spur.

Celestial Cruises

“Witness beauty and splendor.”

Chief Executive Officer: Leina Idris, b. 2393

A subsidiary of Idris, Celestial Cruises has been touted as one of the most famous examples of the fabulous lifestyle one can have with Idris. It maintains fleets of 400 meter long “Star-gazer” ships, vessels with glass dome tops holding a miniature environment along with numerous holodecks, clubs, and entertainment centers within their decks. Maintained by contracted engineers and staffed by Idris employees and IPCs, these exclusive cruises have become popular in a select few nations in the Orion Spur.

History

Founded in 2332, Celestial Cruises was an ambitious project by founder Naia Idris to capitalize on a possible market: Luxury space cruises. The company sky rocketed in 2341 after unveiling the first Star-gazer, with cruise tickets selling out in minutes. Maintaining constant expansion while retaining its luxurious image, Celestial Cruises opened a Republic of Elyra branch while also drafting possible plans to expand into more settled Coalition areas and the Empire of Dominia. Unfortunately, the collapse of the Sol Alliance has dug deep into the company’s profits and cancelled those plans. With a majority of its primary branch’s Star-gazers lost or trapped in warlord held lands, Celestial Cruises’ CEO is forced to gamble with expansions to Elyra’s cruises while attempting to establish a Republic of Biesel branch.

Branches

  • Sol Alliance: The mainstay of Celestial Cruises since it began, the Sol Alliance branch was its most developed and advanced fleet of Star-gazers. Several rings of voyages dotted the Sol Alliances territory, stretching from the borders of the Traverse to the Weeping Stars region. Silversun was the nexus of these voyages, with vacation plans that allowed one to enjoy a cruise right before settling into their resort on the beautiful planet. As such, when the Sol Alliance collapsed so did the income of Celestial Cruises. While smaller flight paths within the Sol Alliance’s shrunken territory continue on, they remain far from the poorly-protected borders of the sector.
  • Republic of Elyra: Opening up shortly after Elyra’s formation, Celestial Cruises was well-received by the citizens of Elyra. With a primary loop between Persepolis, Aemeq, and Medina, Celestial Cruises is popular for those who wish to tour the jewels of the Serene Republic. The Republic of Elyra branch also attracts business from the Coalition, PRA, Hegemony, and Dominia. With Sol’s branch cut down, The Republic of Elyra’s branch has seen more investments in the hopes of becoming the new primary branch for Celestial Cruises.
  • Tau Ceti: Quickly developing as a new source of income to offset the loss in the Sol Alliance branch, the Tau Ceti branch holds some of the company’s hopes in solving the issues the Solarian collapse caused. With just a single Star-gazer preforming circuits within the capital system, operations are limited for now. Should their newly claimed systems become settled by the SCC, Tau Ceti could be the perfect site for rapid expansion.

Caishen Jewellers

“The best of the galaxy in your dresser!”

Chief Executive Officer: Lubanzi Idris, b. 2437

Caishen Jewellers is the leading jewellery company in the Spur, with its hand in several markets in the major nations. Any jewellery, from rings, tiaras, necklaces, bangles, to piercings can be found in their stores or bought custom made and designed from the company’s site. Cainshen Jewellers’ business model revolves around finding “exotic” locales or artisans to have custom pieces made from, giving buyers to have a wide selection of choices while allowing Caishen to rack up the price for supposedly premium hand-made goods.

History

Caishen Jewellers began in Eridani in 2367. Decades after the discovery of Skrell and their arrival to several systems, a wave of interest in Skrell fashion occurred in Eridani. It was during this time that the founder, Juno Idris, sought to find a way to use this trend. Their answer was to begin Caishen Jewellers. At first using Skrell and Eridani artists to provide their custom goods, branches and contacts were established with the Tajara and Unathi after humanity’s contact with them in 2418 and 2433 respectively. Now, Caishen Jewellers offers a diverse range of artists and pieces for one to gain, if they’re willing to spare the credits for it.

Major Brands

Moghean Majesty: Partnering with local goldsmiths and silversmiths in the Izweski capital of new Skalamar, Caishen offers pieces made by the expert hands of clans with centuries of experience and history in their productions. Some common pieces include bracelets made with family names artfully written upon them in Sinta’Unathi and ring earrings with religious charms looped through them. Calligraphy in Sinta’Unathi is the most common marker of a Unathi-made piece from Caishen Jewellers, etched onto almost every piece made.

Tajaran Treasures: Caishen retains contacts with several Tajaran artisans from across Adhomai. These include the carpenters and woodcarvers of Zatushka and the watchmakers of Baltor. Common pieces from this brand are lifelike and detailed wooden statuettes or ornate watches made of rare materials and beautiful clockwork. Oddly there also exists a small niche market for supposed war trinkets and items made of material left over from the Second Revolution.

Jewels of Nralakk: The oldest brand for Caishen at almost a century, pieces handmade by Skrellian master craftsmen still capture the attention of buyers today. Common choices are beautiful shining chains that can be made to be worn anywhere on one’s body, and piercings that can be surgically embedded to form a pattern. These products also find their way into the hands of the Skrell living in communities outside of the Nralakk Federation, as both a status symbol and a proud display of their culture.

Discount Diamonds: Cheap and easily available, Discount Diamonds is surprisingly the most successful of Caishen’s brands. The affordability of their synthetic diamond pieces has allowed anyone to purchase one, and their stores often sell out of these pieces before new shipments can arrive. Mass production and shifting trends have led to this jewellery being mass produced, shipped out, and inevitably dumped in junkyards when the next big trend happens. This has made Discount Diamonds a massive source of free “gems” for the destitute, such as dregs.

Le Soleil Royal

“Vouloir, c’est pouvoir!” (Translated from Tradeband: “When there is will, there is a way!”)

Chief Executive Officer: Emilie de Couturier, b. 2427

A massive fashion conglomerate - the largest in the Orion Spur - originating on Earth, Le Royal has centuries of experience - though some of its employees will brag about having over a millennium of experience - in crafting the best clothing known to humanity. Le Royal’s business model relies on being the best of the best of the best, with no others even coming close. It, unlike other Idris Incorporated subsidiaries, employs no known positronic workers. Its current Director, Emilie de Couturier, had cited the “more creative nature of humans” as the reason for this decision, which has brought Le Royal into some conflict with its parent company. But as long as the money keeps coming into Le Royal hand over fist, any change to its current business model is unlikely.

Major Brands:

Walk Like Idris: Producers of the finest footwear in the Orion Spur (as long as your feet aren’t clawed), Walk Like Idris is the most well-known of Le Royal’s brands thanks to all Idris Incorporated employees being issued a pair of their shoes upon completing their probationary period (the cost is subtracted from one’s paycheck, and buying these shoes is not optional). From the boardrooms of Eridani to the banks of Mendell City, everybody that’s somebody is walking like Idris.

The Aspirants: A collective name for Le Royal’s constituent luxury clothing brands, The Aspirants specialize into the creation of extremely high-end and high-quality clothing. Custom orders are very common, and the conglomerate is famous for its ability to complete custom orders quickly while meeting a bar of quality met by no other fashion house. While it produces for clients as far afield as Domina and the Coalition, it only accepts orders for human clothing.

Wear Like Idris: The more affordable - but still prestigious - relative of The Aspirants, Wear Like Idris produces fashionable clothing for the more typical resident of the Orion Spur, including non-human customers. Its trendy clothing - and its stores - can be found on almost every planet in the civilized Orion Spur, making it one of the most widespread subsidiaries of any corporation.

Synthetic Fashion: While Le Royal does not employ synthetics, it does design and produce clothing for them - including the infamous coats commonly associated with Idris Reclamation Units. As it primarily produces clothing for shells, Synthetic Fashion clothing is deliberately designed to be light and breathable to allow for maximum cooling. This has unintentionally made it quite popular on hot planets such as Medina, and there has been some talk of expanding the brand’s focus on the human side of their market.

Corporate Relations

Einstein Engines

Idris and Einstein have a generally positive relationship, with little need for competition. The vast majority of Idris-owned Shell IPCs are manufactured by Einstein, and their robotics division has allegedly developed several enhanced combat modifications for higher-end Idris Reclamation Units. Idris vessels tend to favor Einstein-produced warp drives over NanoTrasen-produced bluespace drives, with the exception of some of their higher-end security vessels and luxury yachts which advertise speed of travel as a major bonus. Following Solarian nationalization efforts, Idris and Einstein are the two most influential corporations in the Alliance, with Idris having paid high fees to avoid nationalization of its assets. This has given the two corporations a mutual goal - maintaining their own prominence in Solarian affairs, and ensuring that future anti-corporate legislation remains directed at their rivals. Einstein and Idris have both heavily invested in their own PR within the Alliance, remaining invested in Sol's future development.

Hephaestus Industries

Hephaestus and Idris remain on good terms, despite Hephaestus CEO Titanius Aeson's reported dislike of Idris CEO Alex Mason. Idris purchases many Hephaestus-made IPCs, particularly industrial models, for use as part of its security branch. Due to the lack of overlap between the two corporations' respective fields, little opportunity for conflict has arisen between Hephaestus and Idris, with the two corporations having been known to align on several issues - maintaining their power in the face of the increasingly antagonistic Sol Alliance and establishing further influence in the Republic of Biesel as NanoTrasen's control declines being the two main issues on which Hephaestus and Idris align.

NanoTrasen

NanoTrasen and Idris have never been fierce rivals, though Idris's continued prominence in Sol and its expansion into Biesel has led to tension between the two megacorporations. As Idris expanded its banking operations into NanoTrasen's center of power, NanoTrasen attempted to hold onto their banking business in Tau Ceti, incentivizing its employees to only make use of NanoTrasen banking instead - despite the many advantages that Idris held as a competitor. So far, Idris has been gradually expanding its presence in the Republic's financial sector, with many NanoTrasen employees switching to the use of Idris banks despite their employer's wishes. Idris has begun offering hiring bonuses to NanoTrasen employees in an effort to further weaken their power over Biesel's financial sector, as well as establishing branches in many of the former Solarian worlds of the Corporate Reconstruction Zone, where NanoTrasen holds much less direct influence. Though NanoTrasen has issued little official response to this, Idris transport vessels seem to commonly come under attack by pirates in the Reconstruction Zone, with many speculating the phoron giant is attempting to undermine confidence in Idris's renowned security.

Orion Express

Orion and Idris have little in the way of competition - though Orion has expanded into the service sector, they have targeted a very different clientele than Idris aims for. Idris relied on Meng Logistics Incorporated for several deliveries to Silversun prior to the formation of Orion Express, and reportedly advocated for the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate's purchase of the small shipping company in 2463. Orion avoided the wave of Solarian nationalization by formed after the creation of the Solarian Corporate Authority, but Idris has wielded its remaining influence in Sol against the voices pushing for Orion to be subject to the same harsh penalties of the rest of the SCC - ensuring that, at least for now, Orion remains able to operate freely in Alliance space.

Zavodskoi Interstellar

Zavodskoi and Idris have been frequent competitors in the fields of security and IPC manufacturing, leading to a long-running mutual rivalry between the two corporation. Lyudmila Zavodskoi is known to have a personal distaste for Alex Mason, and Zavodskoi has frequently undercut Idris security operations in the Sol Alliance and Republic of Biesel. Zavodskoi employees are strongly discouraged from using Idris financial services, which NanoTrasen has done its best to encourage as many Zavodskoi employees in Biesel opt to make use of NanoTrasen banks instead. Idris has marketed its security division extensively as a high-class security option, with unstated implications of the marketing casting other corporations' security as little better than thuggish mercenaries, which Zavodskoi unsuccessfully attempted to sue Idris over. Though their rivalry is not as intense as that of Zavodskoi and Hephaestus, the two corporations remain on far from friendly terms.

Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals

Idris and Zeng-Hu have never been direct competitors, with the two corporations operating in radically different sectors. Many Idris-patented cosmetics are manufactured by Zeng-Hu labs, and the pharmaceutical giant is known to favor Idris transport vessels for its high-value cargo. Rumors are commonly spread on the Extranet that Zeng-Hu genetic modification has been used to enhance Idris executives to be superior to their competition - though these are widely derided as nothing more than conspiracy theories. In recent years, the two corporations have come to face a common threat - the rising anti-corporate sentiment within the Sol Alliance, historically a stronghold for both Idris and Zeng-Hu. As Idris maintains one of the best relationships with the Alliance, and has proved one of the most difficult corporations for Sol to shake the influence of, Zeng-Hu has allegedly hired Idris public relations specialists to maintain their image within Sol, attempting to ensure that Alliance citizens maintain a favorable view of Zeng-Hu's operations.

Relations with Trans-stellar Factions

Relations with all corporations are heavily tied to every echelon of even the most detached factions in the Orion Spur. As the corporations have seeped into every facet of one’s livelihood as far as the eye can see, few find it unimportant to maintain some degree of knowledge on the megacorps.

This megacorporation’s noteworthy relations with the major powers are below, and may be very important to you.

Crevus

When megacorporations arrived to Crevus following first contact with the Tajara in 2418, none captured the eyes of the locals better than Idris Incorporated. The company enjoyed major success in the city in the decades since their establishment there. Idris products fly off the shelves and into the hands of buying consumers looking to hop on new fashion trends or to improve their own wardrobes. Any two-bit gambler worthy of the title or rich scion makes sure to wear at least one Idris watch or tailored shirt minimum when they’re out on the town. Tourists regularly come to Crevus on Idris transports to partake in a safer Tajaran cultural experience. The company is even patronized heavily by the ruling crime families that allow it to co-partner on some of their businesses. ISUs are present there as well to function as security for Idris employee housing at the Pam Hu District, the company’s mall, and are rented by some of the rich to function as bodyguards.

Crevan workers make up the bulk of Tajara that work for Idris. Those who enter the service economy tend to be run of the mill citizens or failed entertainers. Those who work for the security teams are former crime family enforcers. The skills these street-hardened men and women gained in that line of work translate well into the corporate environment they found themselves in after signing on. While their cheap price matches their quality, these Tajara make up for it with a vicious eagerness for their work. They can typically be found running night security, transporting credits, or as cost-effective security details. Due to the Tajara bans and prevailing xenophobia, Tajara were never used at Idris installations within the Sol Alliance or in Elyra. Recruitment of Tajara has steadily increased following the end of the Second Revolution.

Golden Deep Collective

Although opinions may differ between merchants, the Golden Deep and Idris Incorporated generally have an amicable, albeit cautious, relationship. Largely due to the Idris brand and an emphasis on customer service, many Idris retired synthetics from the service field find themselves purchased instead by the Golden Deep. Moreover the Golden Deep and Idris commonly engage in trade, supplying the mega-corporation with exotic luxury goods from across the galaxy. However some Golden Deep synthetics have voiced concern for the increased relations with the human run corporation.

Solarian Alliance

Idris arguably maintains the best working relationship with the Alliance of any megacorporation aside from Einstein Engines thanks to its focus on luxury goods and banking instead of creating dangerous breakaway states or crashing the interstellar economy. The megacorporation paid its way out of nationalization efforts by the Alliance following the Solarian Collapse and continues to dominate the banking, tourism, and luxury goods sectors of the shrunken Alliance. While it does not dominate the Alliance's economy to the extent of other corporations Idris' deep banking and luxury goods connections throughout the Jewel Worlds make it extremely difficult to dislodge and quite popular among most movers and shakers in the Solarian political scene. While Idris Incorporated tourism facilities can be found throughout the Jewel Worlds - particularly on Europa - it has the most control over Silversun, despite protests from many residents of the planet at their home being turned into a massive resort for wealthy Solarians. Idris incorporated often does business with Einstein Engines in the Alliance, despite protests from NanoTrasen.

New Kingdom of Adhomai

After the end of the Second Revolution, Idris Incorporated was quick to establish itself in the New Kingdom of Adhomai. Besides offering loans to the government and the nobility, the corporation is also heavily involved in the service sector. Idris provides alien luxury goods to the nobles while exporting Adhomian handcrafted items, such as the famous Baltor watches, to the galaxy. Thanks to the growing royalist tourist industry, the megacorporation is now investing in opening luxury resorts throughout the Kingdom.

New Kingdom Tajara hired by Idris will usually be employed in its service sector. However, many sought employment in their security departments because of the influx of veterans caused by the end of the civil war. Idris Incorporated is regarded as the best corporation to work for in the NKA's public opinion; being one of its employees is considered a matter of pride. Tajara who seek employment in other megacorporations that share the same sectors with Idris are considered to have gone with a second-rate option.
