Corp Wars
The premise, "What if a hostile takeover, really was hostile?"
Earth, long abandoned and given up as dead, as humans reach out and
claim ten systems in our galaxy to settle in and prosper, Now, forty
three billion strong, the future looks bright, even if you are
unemployed within the corporation you live and serve in.
Because, the corporation takes care of it's own.
All citizens within a corporation are considered cradle to grave
employees whose duty is to participate in some way to the production of
that corporations product. In return, that Corporation provides all
needs such as food, housing, health care and protection from "Others"
through the corporations military.
Imagine the Ford Motor Company as a country, which would include all
it's spin off business and, with it's own military.
The governments only role is to maintain interstellar communication
and the standardization of the banking system so that if someone were
to defect from Apple Computers to Microsoft, they would have access to
their back account, for a hefty fee.
The banking system is much like the UN, who provide ruling in
regards to business practices, but have no real power other than the
swaying of opinions.
It is not long before the shadow on the horizon becomes a threat
that no one can buy their way out of. |
