MacMillian Mining and Extraction Corporation Draft

Leadership: Aldous Renn (Thides Director); distant, diminished corporate parent

Territory: Reduced to a handful of outposts; the Thides System is the last jewel

Goals

  • Squeeze the last value from its remaining outposts
  • Survive another quarter

Overview

A once-mighty mining corporation, now a faded giant. From operations in nearly every connected system, MacMillian has fallen to a few outposts, scraping out what value remains. It retreated its best assets to Thides — making the dead-end system its capital-in-exile, a wild-west boomtown on the bones of a corporate jewel. The PCs’ nominal employer.

Goals & Methods

Survive. Extract. Hold on. A thriving outpost gets audited; a dying one gets ignored — and a dead-end backwater gets left alone.

Resources

Dwindling. A processing operation, a vice quarter, a security force (Holger Graeme’s), and a Director presiding over a slow decline.

History

Reduced from a near-empire spanning almost every connected system to a handful of failing outposts, MacMillian retreated its best remaining assets to the Thides System — its last redoubt.
