Nanotrasen



Nanotrasen is currently the largest and most powerful mega corporation in the known galaxy. They are the owners of Space Station 13, and the corporation of which most players are under the employ of. They are equally as known for their constant pursuit of technological breakthroughs as they are for ruthless security measures and poor working conditions. More information about Nanotrasen in game can be found in their section of the Special Roles page.

Chain of Command
United Earth Authority - The United Earth Authority holds legal and political supremacy over all mega corporations stemming from Earth, including Nanotrasen (despite the arguably superior military and economic capabilities of Nanotrasen).

Corporate Board - Often simply referred to as "Corporate", the Nanotrasen Corporate Board is the highest authority in the company, composed of 12 highly influential and powerful council members, along with a mysterious founder. They hold direct control over the profits and direction of Nanotrasen, and are responsible for issuing most corporation wide directives.

Central Command - Every Nanotrasen operated station has a Central Command detachment, responsible for directly controlling the operations of that sector. They answer to the Corporate Board, but remain the most immediate higher power for any Captain or station worker. Central Command is responsible for maintaining a direct line of communication to the crew or sector they're assigned to, and in that sense are the mouthpiece of the Corporate Board.

Space Stations
One of Nanotrasen's most well known and successful corporate endeavors has been the construction of technologically advanced space stations for a variety of purposes. Below, an in-lore list of these stations can be found.

Installation Delta - A top secret experimental space station project constructed by Nanotrasen sometime in the late 25th century. Location is unknown to all except the Corporate Board. Rumors abound - some think it remains in operation as a corporate black site, some believe it was destroyed by the Syndicate during the Void Wars, and others wonder if it every really existed at all. Status unknown.

Space Station 01 - The first official Nanotrasen space station to be constructed, developed at the turn of the 26th century. Served as a predecessor to the more modern research stations. Decommissioned prior to the construction of Space Station 13 due to outdated technology and declining corporate utility.

Space Station 02 - Also known as simply the "Prison Station", Space Station 02 is a massive dystopian hellhole of cell blocks and corridors where Nanotrasen throws the worst of their criminals, dissenters, and enemies. You really don't wanna go here. Staffed by well armed Nanotrasen Peacekeeping Forces and regional security.

Space Station 03 - Nanotrasen's most important supply station, serves as the logistical heart of the corporate empire. If you're receiving cargo on another station, chances are it comes from Space Station 03.

Space Station 04 - Also known as the "Shipyard", serves as the hub for all Nanotrasen interplanetary vessels. Also serves a very important logistical role in the corporation, with hundreds of supply ships, warships, and other types of craft constantly docked in its many hangars.

Space Station 05-08 - All military stations. You can find just about anything related to Nanotrasen forces here - training facilities, weapon arsenals, and strategic command centers populate these fortresses.

Space Station 09 - The "mid generation" research station, and the official successor to Space Station 01. Notable as the first station to fully implement modern cloning and cyborg technology. Remains as a minor observation post following the construction of Space Station 13.

Space Station 10 - The corporate headquarters. Very few people are let in here, and most of them are highly important to the innerworkings of Nanotrasen. The Corporate Board has a meeting room onboard, and many other high ranking executives have penthouses here. Space Station 10 is guarded by the genetically modified Amber Task Force.

Space Station 11-12 - Failed attempts at creating a new research station to supplant Space Station 9. Both were destroyed by the Syndicate Fleet during construction.

Space Station 13 - The most recent Nanotrasen space station, and successful heir to Space Station 9. The station has the primary purpose of researching the mysterious new resource of Plasma, a highly valuable (and exothermic) deep space material. Space Station 13 is also used for the field testing of state of the art Artificial Intelligence Cores (AIC), genetics research, and bluespace (teleportation) research. The station also serves as a secondary supply depot, refueling station, and mining base.
