Planetary Acquisitions, Inc.

Krakuntec-based corporation, originally founded as a private space exploration company, sending krakun out "the long way" before the geordians were discovered and gates integrated into their technologies. Came into prominence very quickly when they expanded their fleet hundreds of times over with slave vessels, multiplying even further with each new species discovered, leading to the current age of galactic expansion. Very tightly-knit with the business of the Empire as a whole. Despite their close ties with the Imperial War Authority, Planetary Acquisitions goes out of its way to not get involved in military-scale conflicts. All of its underhanded dealings are performed with a limited amount of armed forces; any large-scale conflicts are handled by the War Authority or Orbital Defense.

Founder of Worlds Technologies

Rival to Planetary Acquisitions, founded several thousand years after the discovery of gates. Primarily exists in opposition to Planetary Acquisitions in an effort to steal their market share and government contracts. While this animosity could easily boil over into outright conflict, krakun laws against corporate espionage means that any such conflicts must be carried out in absolute secrecy.
