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.
