Interspace Commerce is a member of the Big Three and one of the biggest corporations in the Sirius Sector. Until the 6th century After Settlement, Interspace Commerce primarily engaged in banking activities however since then it has developed the largest insurance sector, maintains a sizeable shipping division and owns a number of investments across Sirius the largest of which is the Okinawa project. No jump gate or trade lane construction project is made without it being insured by Interspace Commerce. In addition most inter-House shipping is insured by Interspace Commerce as it has access to the Universal Ship Identification, also known as USI.

H I S T O R Y
Founded during 218 A.S in partnership between Deep Space Engineering and Ageira Technologies it quickly became the leading financial company within the Sirius. Its planned purpose was to fund the construction of jump gates and trade lanes outside of Liberty.
Interspace Commerce expanded into Kusari and had set up Roppongi station in the New Tokyo system. Up until this point the Kusari government had banned all foreign immigration as well as the construction of foreign stations and businesses. It was a risky move and angered many Kusarian citizens, however Interspace Commerce was allowed in Kusari.
In 350 A.S, Interspace Commcerce became the primary financier of trade lanes for the other houses. In Rheinland, it constructed Bonn station in New Berlin to oversee its interests in 521 A.S. Later in 525 A.S Interspace Commerce agreed to forgive all debts to Kusari and Rheinland, and turned control of the trade lanes and jump gates in those houses over to their governments. With this, Interspace Commerce collected tolls for using its jump gates and trade lanes for the next 200 years. The company has never been satisfied with the two hundred years of tolls it got in exchange, and it is for this chief reason that a good deal of animosity towards Rheinland and Kusari exists even today. As a result, Interspace Commerce often allowed ships from the Bundschuh, Red Hessians and even the Unioners to dock and purchase supplies on Bonn station. In response, the Rheinland military placed the Battleship Strausberg outside the station to keep an eye on Interspace's activities. Similarly in Kusari, Interspace engaged in frequent dealings with the Golden Chrysanthemum terrorist movement.
In 700 A.S., Ageira and Interspace developed a project called the Universal Ship Identification system (USI) which gave Interspace Commerce the ability to track ships and lay tariffs appropriately. Some of the Houses believe that this gives Interspace Commerce an edge in competition, however so far nothing has been proven. Former Ageira employees and USI inventors founded the Lane Hackers which is the only terrorist group able to hack into the USI. Since then the Hackers exploited the information provided by the USI which made them the primary enemies of Interspace Commerce.
Interspace Commerce is interested in the reduction of criminal activity in Sirius and is thus the biggest contractor of the Bounty Hunters Guild. They provide the largest number of bounty contracts, the biggest of which is against the Lane Hackers.
When the Okinawa System was discovered at the Border Worlds in 812 A.S., both the GMG and Kishiro were eager to move in as fast as possible. In a deal with Interspace Commerce to invest and finance the development of the system, the GMG signed the deal with Interspace Commerce, which would get 5% of all H-fuel profits. Most piracy and raids in the system are suspected to have originated or sponsored by the Hogosha due to Interspace Commerce's dealings and influence with the Golden Chrysanthemum movement, which has prevented any Golden Chrysanthemum attacks in the system. Kishiro and the Gas Mining Guild ignored whenever a Golden Chrysanthemum vessel has been seen docking with Furyoku Station.
In 820 A.S., Rheinland authorities finally had hard evidence that Interspace Commerce was supporting their local terrorist organizations and in a bold move the authorities banned Interspace from their House while Bonn Station was converted into RFP headquarters. This was a blow to the corporation however it was even more severe for Rheinland which lost the large economic giant which was supporting its weak economy in a number of fields.
In 822 A.S., IND's reputation was significantly diminished and this heavily affected its stock prices. Interspace Commerce saw this new opportunity and purchased the majority of the company's stocks after a week-long background negotiations. Since IND owned Renzu Corp and its affiliates, these smaller entities also came under the control of IC. On May of the same year Interspace Commerce integrated into its transport fleet a rather new company that was introduced in the late 820 A.S. That company was Trans-Sirius Commerce, a growing shipping firm. A few months later when the new CEO was elected onboard Newark Station in New York, Alan Johnson was selected, the former boss of TSC. Under its new management the corporation strives to exploit any opportunities that may arise and further increase its power and influence.
Johnson's first action was to restore Interspace's legal status in Rheinland. He also seeks to expand into Gallia after the Crown's defeat from Liberty as well as create a professional security branch which can finally curb the Lane Hacker thorn from his corporation's side.

Interspace Corporate was founded in 204 A.S. by Ageira and Deep Space Engineering, since they could pool the necessary capital in insurance and finance. Built in the same year, Newark Station is the local headquarters for the now renamed "Interspace Commerce" (IC), one of the largest financial concerns in the Sirius Sector. While Interspace was initially responsible for financing the construction of the vast Jump Gate and Trade Lane network that connects the various colonies, it was forced to divest itself of these holdings as a result of the Rheinland-Kusari Trade Embargo in 521 A.S.
The corporation changed its name to Interspace Commerce and has since transitioned to insuring cargo shipments within and between the various colonies. The remainder of the Newark Station population is a constantly shifting crowd of traders, technocrats, executives, and Bounty Hunters, all cutting deals and arranging for the transport or protection of their goods.

Waterloo Station, New London
Waterloo Station acts as headquarters for the local branch of Interspace Commerce (IC) as well as foreign shippers such as Republican Shipping and Universal Shipping. It is a busy, bustling place, constantly humming with activity as business transactions are conducted around the clock.

In the early years of the Kusari Empire, foreign immigration was strictly controlled and permanent foreign settlements on New Tokyo were strictly forbidden. While the Kusari Shogunate was unwilling to bend these rules, it still accommodated foreign business interests by allowing Interspace Commerce to construct Roppongi Station in 318 A.S. Despite the restrictions placed on permanent residencies elsewhere in Kusari, and the outrage expressed by conservative Kusari politicians at the Hideyoshi controlled Shogunate for allowing foreigners into the New Tokyo system, Roppongi Station's business flourished, with many corporations opening offices onboard.

Originally constructed in 521 A.S., to oversee the transition of Trade Lanes and Jump Gates to Rheinland's ownership after Interspace Commerce was all but forced to sign agreements to nationalise them, Bonn Station has since become the headquarters of Interspace within Rheinland, and is the station where all cargo being shipped out of Rheinland is insured for the journey.
Rumours, that Interpspace is involved with Hessians has angered the Rheinland government considerably, although as yet it has been completely impossible to prove. However, the Rheinland Military has recently stationed the Battleship Strausberg outside the station to keep an eye on Interspace's activities.

The base handles a large portion of the traffic moving in and out of Okinawa, and the GMG often stores a large amount of H-Fuel reserves at Furyoku. Attacks in the system against GMG and Kishiro facilities, as well as the Interspace base, have been more or less non-existent, save for the occasional raiding parties that are almost certainly Hogosha in origin. Part of the reason for this is almost certainly due to the influence and dealings that Interspace are known to have with the Golden Chrysanthemums. In exchange for the lack of piracy and attacks on their facilities and transports within Okinawa, it appears that both the Kishiro and GMG authorities within the system have taken to turning a blind eye whenever a Golden Chrysanthemum vessel has been seen docking with Furyoku Station.
