I don't think Dubai would produce that sort of thing. Ship it and transport it maybe but not make it. And no faction has achieved complete control of the city. Of course we could start the RP with that...

Dubai doesnt make it since after all it is a warzone, he has factories in India and china that makes the Drugs, he just simply ships it to Dubai or to the markets in the west.

Alright. Just make your app first and if there's any canonical errors me and the Co-OPs will correct it.

Also guys, I'm thinking of starting the IC either tomorrow or in 3 to 4 hours. Any thoughts?

Sure, that sounds good. We have a decent amount of players.

Our characters will probably end up working together, Ghondie, though not for long.

Well I'm thinking of starting my character arc in London. Basically my character has taken a contract to investigate the death of an official from one of Xylon's Shell Companies, maybe he can encounter your character Jord?

London eh? Maybe I can join you on that too, considering murder of the Xylon official so close at home is definitely something that fall on Heidreich's Radar

The death of the official was because of the nano-virus, which is still classified and definitely not public knowledge. Maybe Heidreich can help identify the virus.

He's from London, so it's probably drowning his sorrows in beer when England once again lose the World Cup

Maybe William's Ex-PMC Company worked with the European Federation and my character and your character have history working together. Essentially making your character of his contacts in the EF. You game?

Yeah, but would William know about what Alfie planned on doing to the EF?

Considering how vocal Alfie is about his beliefs, I should think so.

They still have competition, though it is hard to compete against them. I am also thinking of the owner being part of the Conspiracy.

will add details later

Postby Shadowwell » Fri Jun 10, 2016 11:17 am

Xylon Pharmaceuticals


Shell Companies: they are much like subsidaries but are merely fronts with no actual work.
Subsidaries: owned by a larger company, the ownership may be public or secret.
Peshkov-Zaitsev Merchandising: chain of merchandise stores in the Sino-Russian federation

Narita Telcoms: Mainly is an asteroid mining company but also owns metallurgy and wood products companies.

WarpCorp Productions: one of the private companies in the USNa working of FTL travel, they also build hover vehicles using mag lev technology.

Omni Sun Union: supposedly an enviromentally friendly company experimenting with Solar power uses. In all actuallity is developing weapons that use solar energy.


I will add more later, make suggestions for additions as well.

So I'm guessing Peshkov-Zaitev Merchandising and Narita Telcoms are Subsidiaries, while Omni Sun Union is a Shell Company?

for the most part yes, I will go a bit more into details later, though. Omni sun is also government funded, but can still act as a shell to get ghosts to specific areas in the USNA as there are labs all over.
