Commercial – Mining
Blaylock Mining Corporation is the largest corporation in the Clement Sector. BMC employs millions of people from miners to administrators. BMC controls an entire star system, the Cybele system, where its main offices are located.
BMC was founded as a subsidiary of Cameron Mining, a Terragen corporation which was founded in the mid-21st Century. When the Conduit was expanded and colonists were allowed to cross over, one of the first colonists, Andrew Blaylock, was a member of the Cameron Mining staff. Andrew was allowed to set up his own subsidiary of the company on the Clement side of the wormhole.
Blaylock Mining Corporation met some initial resistance on the Clement side of the wormhole. The German and British governments had already sold rights to a British company, Paulsen Mining. Andrew, undeterred, hired a ship and crew and began exploring for new areas to mine.
Arriving in what is now the Tulrakh system (Clement, Hub 0603), Andrew staked his claim to the two planetoid belts there. BMC expanded to control the two belts and moved on to explore into the Franklin subsector. Within twenty years, BMC had moved its base of operations to the massive and rich belts of the Cybele system (Clement, Franklin 0508).
In 2235, Andrew purchased the company outright from Cameron Mining and become his own corporation. BMC now controlled the belt mines and a large percentage of the capital moving through the colonized worlds.
BMC controls all aspects of its mining operations. The corporation owns everything including the means of production, the means of shipping, and the means of upkeep. BMC has its own fleet of cargo vessels to carry the ore and a fleet of escort ships to protect it from pirates.
The current president of the company is Thomas Blaylock III
