Commercial – Mining

 

Egata Mining Corporation is a resource mining company based in the Marlowe system (Clement, Cascadia 0708).  The founder of the company, Arthur Egata, emigrated to the Talca system (Clement, Cascadia 0709) as a young man aboard the colony ship SS Garrett.

 

Egata joined a small company called Jeglum Metals in 2241. Within two years, he had moved up to become a supervisor of the company. The company suffered from bad luck and worse investing throughout the 2240s.  In 2252, Arthur’s wealthy father died and he used his inheritance to purchase Jeglum by paying off its outstanding debts.  He immediately changed the name of the company and began to institute better working conditions for the workers as well as better management practices. He also adopted a green color scheme for all of his vessels. This distinctive green color would become the symbol of the company as it began to expand across the subsector.

 

By the 2280s, Egata was a powerful mining and shipping corporation. Of course, this drew the attention of pirates, specifically infamous pirate Colin Drake. Drake began to make a habit of attacking Egata Mining vessels. When Drake captured the MV Disco Volante in 2282, many believed Colin had help from Foreign Nobility.

 

While FN’s president Jillian Lucas claimed publicly that this was ridiculous, the company seemed to be enjoying the connection to the famous pirate. One FN advertising campaign stated that if Egata had been using their holographic security interface, the ship could not have been taken. Arthur was furious and believed that Foreign Nobility had perpetrated an elaborate publicity stunt at his expense

 

Currently 231 years old, Arthur Egata still consults with the company. However, most of his days are spent in retirement with his fourth and fifth wives, Michelle and Katarina on Chance (Clement, Cascadia 0405).

 

His granddaughter, Rebecca Egata, currently runs the company from its offices in the Marlowe system.
