Founded in the year 819 by Peter Andersson, Maersk was, and is, a collective of several corporations bonded into one under the name of Maersk Group, or simply, Maersk.
Maersk initially started as small shipping company in Bretonia, mainly contracts of shipping goods throughout Bretonia. Shortly after the company's breakthrough by beginning to sign shipping contracts to Liberty, Maersk rapidly grew by purchasing and integrating smaller companies into their domain. Even with the amazing growth in the company's worth and size it started to slow down, however, the board knew the reason of the decreasing profit was because of them being affiliated with the Bretonia, therefore denying access to trade with Kusari due to the war, and the rising tensions with Rheinland also cut off the opportunity to expand in that area.
It didn't take much for Chairman Andersson to convince the board to take the company to new heights, so, they released their bonds from Bretonia and with certain deals and contracts with Interspace Commerce, they had become an Independent Corporation. With the chains to Bretonia cut off, the company's expansion and profit income had exploded over any estimations. Just as before, as Maersk continued to expand into other houses, it also held the policy of buying out other smaller companies from all the houses and expanding even further. Just like any other trading company, one of Maersk's few concerns were pirates, the company did not have any defense wing to defend the transports, so they had to make due with hiring mercenaries. Although, it is known that Maersk doesn't suffer from pirates and outlaw nations as much as other corporations, it is speculated that they might have dealings with some criminal groups although there is no evidence, and they are known as a completely multi-house lawful -even if a bit shady- corporation

We're a very small trading faction, consisting of very few members, what we do is simply trade for fun, everywhere and anywhere. Think of us as IND Mk. II, just lacking their sexiness at which they excel.
Since the Zoner ID limits our ship usage when is house space, the BWT is the largest cargo ship we can have, so if you really want to make money as Maersk, you use that, Outside house space we can use any ship we want as long as it matches our ID. We trade for fun, not just profit, doing routes other people wouldn't, such as basic alloy for example, or whatever you can get your hands on.
Mainly for fun and some profit, nothing more. We don't have an escort squadron, we don't really need one, we hire mercs if we have to.

We're aware it won't be a very interesting pew pew faction or anything, and won't be getting many recruits, however, this will still be here, for people who'd enjoy such a faction. To the houses, we're a perfectly legal independent corporation, but in reality we do dirty stuff, such as bribery and dealing with criminals and even unlawful factions. And getting away with it while making even more money.
Before you decide to join, please note that we won't just accept anyone, even if we are a small faction, we have our quality standards. The ingame RP isn't too hard, we just need to make sure no one knows we're dealing with baddies, and of course having conversations with anyone you meet, being friendly but shameless in a perfect business tone.
Join, if you dare.

This thread will mainly be for feedback and ideas on the faction, feel free to suggest things, keep it in a friendly manner if you will, or else I'll have to use my /summon mod button. As the note in Recruitment, you can join here, or on PM.

*raises eyebrow*
Really? He never told me about any ship...I'll ask him when he gets back on skype, although, I doubt it's for a ship, Maersk has actually been around for a month or something, just a bit more active now since I'm helping him.
