Synopsis

One of the largest Bretonian corporations, specialized in mining operations and ship manufacturing. With 80% of profits coming from mining operations, the company has managed to be profitable for the last 500 years.

History

BMM has grown from a government-subsidised company, to an extremely influential and powerful corporation with many different commercial interests across Bretonia, the Tau and the Omega systems. Ever since the early days, employees have been mining and constructing ships, infrastructure, factories and industrial products, most of the time under harsh working conditions, to make BMM what it is today. BMM's shares are entirely owned by the Crown, making the corporation nationalized like its partner Bowex, and giving the Bretonian Government control over appointments to the Board of Directors and the setting of company policy. This is exercised through the company's Royal Charter, and by weekly meetings between the BMM Board of Directors and members of the Department for Trade and Industry.

The former CEO William Relic stepped down in early March 817 A.S., so the company now starts a new chapter of its history under a new board of directors. Bretonian Mining and Manufacturing's new CEO, as appointed by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, was Paul Ashton and under him BMM had the intention to become once again one of the most powerful and influential corporations in all of Sirius. Unfortunately already after 3 months Paul Ashton died due a stroke, his closest employees blame it on the economic recession the company faced due the war and increased piracy. After a few months under a temporary board BMM's new appointed CEO is Jack Porter. He now leads BMM and makes a strong effort to get the company back on track.

Our company has stations throughout Bretonian space and is under constant attacks from pirates and occasionally other companies. Mollies are particularly aggressive towards us throughout most parts of Bretonia, but especially in Dublin where we maintain Graves Mining Station, which has a rich history. In 752 AS, in what came to be known as the Founders Day Revolt, The mollies attacked our station and murdered BMM Chief of Operations Sir Edmund Graves and his senior staff. Ever since that day they have fantasized that Dublin is their own country. Since that date we are at war with them. Now the station is under the command of Lord Graves' granddaughter Selena Graves. Also opposed to us is the extremist movement of violent eco-terrorists known as Gaians, who hold unfounded objections against our industrial activity in Leeds on the grounds that it is polluting. Nonsense. Everyone knows that Leeds is an extremely clean and healthy system, and the smog clouds only add to the attractive features of the system.

BMM is considered by some to be the prime instigator of the brutal Kusari-Bretonia war in the Tau systems, due to its aggressive nature in expanding at the expense of the IMG and Kusari corporations in Tau 23 and Tau 29 respectively. The IMG, in another case of dissatisfied workers, beat BMM to the rich mineral fields in the Tau 23 system, by using risky jump holes. BMM, thinking they had time, started the construction of the Tau 31-Tau 23 Jump Gate and trade lane system with Deep Space Engineering. Trade lane construction in Tau 23 has been postponed, due to the current political situation in the Tau systems. BMM however, still maintains their construction site in Tau 23, which acts as a major supply base for Bretonian forces in Tau, and is regularly attacked by Colonial Remnant and Kusari-aligned forces. Many employees think this site is a waste of resources, but BMM still sees potential in the fields in tau-23, and are pressured by the BAF to keep the base operational as a vital staging post for BAF forces in upper Tau and Orkney.
