Gallic Metal Service S.A. (GMS) was formed in 314 AGS (398 A.S.) by merging several mining companies operating across Gallic space. Over the ages, she expanded her influence across Gallic space, laying claim to any and all exploitable space resources by virtue of daring exploration and careful corporate absorption, most notably, Arcadia Materiaux Distribution. While smaller mining companies do operate in Gallic space their share is no more than 5 percent of the market.
With 10 percent of its stake controlled by the government and no executive representation from the same, GMS is one of the few Gallic corporations that isn’t heavily influenced by the Crown. The Company is generous, providing medical, housing, and education services to its employees and their families. While work on mining operations planetside and in space can be very dangerous, high salaries and extensive social services are attractive enough for many colonists who seek a better life and have no intentions of joining unlawful groups.
The GMS's relatively low level of government control has afforded them a nearly unprecedented level of autonomy. Autonomy carefully maintained by gracious affability to the crown and careful internal management to avoid any cause or need for "offered" supervision by military of political bodies; resulting in a company well versed in taking care of its own, personnel and problems alike.
The recent breach of the barrier has afforded a unique opportunity for a select few members of the company, to scout, claim and exploit those resources which might be discovered within a relatively unknown Sirius.
Goals
Provide the crown with enough metals with any means necessary.
Provide metals to all our contractors.
Expand our operations.

Please point out any mistakes that I made or if I forgot to put something in. If you want to join just click here. The write up is not finished but feedback and any kind of help is always welcome!
Just remain aware that IMG owns the niobium fields in Tau-23. In a treaty between the Crown and IMG GMS got the Beryllium fields, IMG gets the niobium. Hoewever, as Leeds is contested space, I'm sure you could mine there.
