Omicron Supply Industries is a growing trade company that runs equipment and supplies to the outer reaches. Based out of Freeport 14 in Yukon, they bring the fruits of Zoner labor into house space. These commodities are then traded for items that are needed on the outer rim stations. Having a small office at Freeport 6, OSI also moves goods to and from Zoner installations wherever possible to strengthen the local Zoner economy. To do this OSI uses transports ranging from the smaller armoured transport to the large Zoner Whale.

Operating in the outer reaches is a dangerous place and as such, OSI also employs an escort wing to ensure that their transports are safe. Starting with the [[Switchblade]] heavy fighter and ranging up to bombers the OSI escorts are a tough group of individuals used to operating in the deep and wild Border and Edge Worlds.

Operating in the outer reaches is a dangerous place and as such, OSI also employs an security wing to ensure that their transports are safe. Starting with the Kingfisher heavy fighter and ranging up to bombers the OSI security wing is a tough group of individuals used to operating in the deep and wild border and edge worlds.
  
Being true Zoners, OSI transports not only bring in supplies to the Freeports, we also make deliveries to the other inhabitants of the Border and Edge Worlds. Food deliveries to Crete and Dabadoru, and supplies to the Order are among some of our other deliveries. OSI does looks down on smuggling and will not tolerate it trade pilots doing so. Shipping contraband in no way helps our Freeports. We run a reputable business here and plan to keep it that way.

Our main goal, here at OSI, is to increase the quality of life for those who live in the outer reaches. We live life in the roughest part of space and if we are flourishing then we have succeeded.

==='''History'''===
  
 
Samuel Nichols was born on Freeport 2. His father and mother were part of the Zoner movement that left house space over 60 years ago. To make money for his family, his father Jacob ran supplies to other Freeports and did the odd escorting job. After Freeport 9 was built Jacob moved his family there to assist in making sure the folks out there survived.

After Freeport 9 was built Jacob moved his family there to assist in making sure the folks out there survived.
  
Samuel was brought up in and around transports and fighters. His father would take him along on the safer shorter runs to teach him the family business. Samuel watched as his father would broker business deals on stations to get the best price for his cargo, and negotiate with the pirates that tried to take them. He learned quickly that a few well placed words can be the equal of a few well placed blaster shots. Once he turned eighteen, Samuel was given charge of his father’s old armoured transport. He and his father worked the supply lanes together for several years before his father retired.

He and his father worked the supply lanes together for several years before his father retired.
  
 
After half a decade of making independent runs to and from Freeport 9 and 11. He saw how the unorganized supply lines to and from these deep stations was causing trouble. Certain high dollar items were brought in till the price plummeted and much needed items that were not a large profit went sorely lacking. It was at this time he first came up with the idea for OSI. He started talking to the other traders, organizing convoys and hiring escorts on a percentage of the profits instead of flat fees. By examining which supplies were most needed and balancing it with the higher profit runs, he make a rotating schedule for some of the local traders that not only kept the Freeports in what they needed but made a tidy profit for all.

Samuel also did a study on which ships fared the best in this arduous environment. While the larger ships had the chance to make a larger profit, he found that they were pirated more and had a larger difficulty handling the nasty asteroid and debris fields. Deciding that getting through to make the profit was better than potential profit he decided on a set of ships with the Border Worlds Transport as his top choice. Its survivability and maneuverability got his cargos to station.

After most of decade of working together with other independent traders, Samuel finally decided to form the Omicron Supply Industries. He had the capital to purchase ships and equipment and the clout to broker good deals all around Sirius. Filing the Charter, he started hiring. Several transport pilots came over quickly and the profits flowed. With the increase of the Nomad threat, escorts were added. OSI now keeps the standard of living at these deep stations higher than it has ever been before. Samuel looks to the future in this ever changing universe and will mould OSI to fit. Ever looking for new opportunities you can guarantee OSI will be supplying the deep space stations for a long time to come.

A few weeks prior to Samuel Nichols death (see Neural Net Entry: [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=53914 Death of Samuel Nichols]) OSI relocated it's offices to [[Freeport 10]] in [[Tau-37]] and started up a small wing of mining-vessels, to exploit the various clouds around the station.
+
A few weeks prior to Samuel Nichols death, in late 817 AS, OSI relocated it's offices to Freeport 10 in Tau 37 and started up a small wing of mining-vessels, to exploit the various clouds around the station.
  
 
Shortly into 818 AS newly appointed CEO Victor Cross decided to sell off the companies mining assets as its mining operation had largely failed. He however decided to retain the profitable contract that allowed OSI transports to haul ore for the IMG and supply the IMG with basic goods. The Cornucopia, having only recently been finished was directed to the Yukon system. The Cornucopia's new mission would be the production of fighter and bomber craft to be sold to the Freeports.

In early 818 AS Freeport 10 was attacked by an artificial intelligence controlled by a traitorous ex-Zoner. The stations in operable state after the attack forced OSI to relocate its headquarters to the Cornucopia for a short time. OSI was already in the process of having a large office on Freeport 14 set up, so when this office was completed it became OSI's new home, while the Cornucopia's modifications continued.

In late 818 AS, after several issues that OSI had no control over threatened the future of the company, a decision was made to part ways with the Zoner Alliance. Now free to pursue their own interests OSI looks to expand their services and influence separate from the other Zoner organizations.
  
  
==Recruitment==
 
  
OSI is a Zoner trade faction. We do require both the Zoner IFF and ID or Zoner guard IFF and ID.

For ease of overview, here is a map of all allowed paths (Jumpgates and Jumpholes) OSI members may use and thus the systems we may visit:

The map's Legend is pretty much self-explaining. For the restricted systems and jumpgates/-holes, the restrictions are as follows:
 
*[[Omicron Alpha]], [[Omicron Gamma]] and [[Omicron Minor]] can each only be entered with the cargo and procedure denoted in the Diplomacy section below. For the first two, try to take some legal cargo to the next zoner freeport or planet on your route.
 
*The connection from the [[Liberty]] system of [[Texas]] to the [[Rheinland]] system of [[Hamburg]] - either via [[Bering]] or [[Hudson]] - is subject to the blockade due to the war between those two houses. We can still take cargo to [[Freeport 2]] in Bering, but not take any cargo from one side to the other.
 
  
  
DO NOT enter any guard system, excluding Omicron-74, for any reason. We respect the sanctity of those systems.
 
  
=OSI Diplomacy=
 
  
It is required that all employees have the same relations with the folks listed below. It will make everyone’s life a lot easier. Do not attack anyone unless provoked. Any reports of our pilots engaging without provocation will be disciplined. Avoid hostile targets if possible.
 
  
 +
{{Listbox|#000000|Transport Crewmen|
 +
*Time as a Crewman will be a probationary period. This will give us, and them, time to see if OSI is right for them. During this time they will have access to any of our approved transport vessels, up to the Border Worlds Transport. Promotion is possible after completion of 8 contract deliveries and reports. They will also be reviewed by the Board of Directors. Upon promotion you will receive a ten million credit bonus.

*Captains have access to our full line of available transports. These include the ZBT-100Z "Zoner Whale", Stork, Titanic, Prison Liner, and the Kujira.

}}
  
'''The Order'''
 
  
As per agreements with the Order, no pilots will enter Omicron-100, ever. All shipments made to Omicron-Minor will be delivered to Battleship Isis. Do not land on anywhere else. Pilots are also advised not to linger in Minor out of respect for the Order. All escort pilots will only defend transports against the Nomad vermin. Order pilots should not hassle you. However, pilots must comply with all directives given by them.
 
  
  
'''Gas Miners Guild'''
 
  
Currently we have an agreement with the GMG to haul H-fuel from the [[Fujisawa Mining Facility]] in [[Okinawa]] for our Freeports and planets ([[Gran Canaria]] and [[Erie]]). We have also been allowed to purchase 4 of their [[Kaichou]] bombers to use in our escort wing. Further relations and contracts may be forthcoming.
 
  
  
'''Independent Miners Guild'''
 
  
We have a standing contract with the IMG to supply their bases with basic goods ([[Food Rations]] & [[Consumer Goods]]), as well as commodities they require for their mining operations ([[Mining Machinery]] & [[Robotic Components]]).
 
  
Furthermore we are allowed to conduct mining operations in [[Tau-37]] and buy off [[Niobium Ore]] from IMG| tagged vessels.
 
  
The detailed conditions can be found in [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=53548&st=11 the contract].
 
  
  
'''Bounty Hunters Guild'''
 
  
We are currently at a state of war with the Core. Please use caution and avoid them by all means.
 
  
'''Corsairs'''
 
  
Due to recent hostilities, shipments of food and other materials are temporarily put on hold.
 
  
  
'''Outcasts'''
 
  
We have started delivering humanitarian aid shipment - namely [[Consumer Goods]] - to [[Malta]], as this is one of the things almost never delivered to them otherwise. When entering [[Omicron Alpha]], announce your presence and cargo and wait for instructions. When planetside, make sure to wear a breather mask to prevent getting a Cardamine addiction. Escort pilots will have to stay in [[Tau-37]].

Company Information

Introduction

Omicron Supply Industries is a growing trade company that runs equipment and supplies to the outer reaches. Based out of Freeport 14, in the Yukon, they bring the fruits of Zoner labor into house space. These commodities are then traded for items that are needed on the outer rim stations. OSI also moves goods to and from Zoner installations wherever possible to strengthen the local Zoner economy. To do this OSI uses transports ranging from the smaller armored transport to the large Zoner Whale.

Operating in the outer reaches is a dangerous place and as such, OSI also employs an security wing to ensure that their transports are safe. Starting with the Kingfisher heavy fighter and ranging up to bombers the OSI security wing is a tough group of individuals used to operating in the deep and wild border and edge worlds.

Being true Zoners, OSI transports not only bring in supplies to the Freeports, we also make deliveries to the other inhabitants of the Border and Edge Worlds. Food deliveries to Crete and Dabadoru, and supplies to the Order are among some of our other deliveries. OSI does look down on smuggling and will not tolerate its trade pilots doing so. Shipping contraband in no way helps our Freeports. We run a reputable business here and plan to keep it that way.

Our main goal, here at OSI, is to increase the quality of life for those who live in the outer reaches. We live life in the roughest part of space and if we are flourishing then we have succeeded.


History

Samuel Nichols was born on Freeport 2. His father and mother were part of the Zoner movement that left house space over 60 years ago. To make money for his family, his father Jacob ran supplies to other Freeports and did the odd escorting job. After Freeport 9 was built Jacob moved his family there to assist in making sure the folks out there survived.

Samuel was brought up in and around transports and fighters. His father would take him along on the safer shorter runs to teach him the family business. Samuel watched as his father would broker business deals on stations to get the best price for his cargo, and negotiate with the pirates that tried to take them. He learned quickly that a few well placed words can be the equal of a few well placed blaster shots. Once he turned eighteen, Samuel was given charge of his fathers old armored transport. He and his father worked the supply lanes together for several years before his father retired.

After half a decade of making independent runs to and from Freeport 9 and 11. He saw how the unorganized supply lines to and from these deep stations was causing trouble. Certain high dollar items were brought in till the price plummeted and much needed items that were not a large profit went sorely lacking. It was at this time he first came up with the idea for OSI. He started talking to the other traders, organizing convoys and hiring escorts on a percentage of the profits instead of flat fees. By examining which supplies were most needed and balancing it with the higher profit runs, he make a rotating schedule for some of the local traders that not only kept the Freeports in what they needed but made a tidy profit for all.

Samuel also did a study on which ships fared the best in this arduous environment. While the larger ships had the chance to make a larger profit, he found that they were pirated more and had a larger difficulty handling the nasty asteroid and debris fields. Deciding that getting through to make the profit was better than potential profit he decided on a set of ships with the Border Worlds Transport as his top choice. Its survivability and maneuverability got his cargoes to station.

After most of decade of working together with other independent traders, Samuel finally decided to form Omicron Supply Industries. He had the capital to purchase ships and equipment and the clout to broker good deals all around Sirius. Filing the charter, he started hiring. Several transport pilots came over quickly and the profits flowed. With the increase of the Nomad threat, escorts were added. OSI now keeps the standard of living at these deep stations higher than it has ever been before. Samuel looks to the future in this ever changing universe and will mold OSI to fit. Ever looking for new opportunities you can guarantee OSI will be supplying the deep space stations for a long time to come.

A few weeks prior to Samuel Nichols death, in late 817 AS, OSI relocated it's offices to Freeport 10 in Tau 37 and started up a small wing of mining-vessels, to exploit the various clouds around the station.

Shortly into 818 AS newly appointed CEO Victor Cross decided to sell off the companies mining assets as its mining operation had largely failed. He however decided to retain the profitable contract that allowed OSI transports to haul ore for the IMG and supply the IMG with basic goods. The Cornucopia, having only recently been finished was directed to the Yukon system. The Cornucopia's new mission would be the production of fighter and bomber craft to be sold to the Freeports.

In early 818 AS Freeport 10 was attacked by an artificial intelligence controlled by a traitorous ex-Zoner. The stations in operable state after the attack forced OSI to relocate its headquarters to the Cornucopia for a short time. OSI was already in the process of having a large office on Freeport 14 set up, so when this office was completed it became OSI's new home, while the Cornucopia's modifications continued.

In late 818 AS, after several issues that OSI had no control over threatened the future of the company, a decision was made to part ways with the Zoner Alliance. Now free to pursue their own interests OSI looks to expand their services and influence separate from the other Zoner organizations.
