Introduction
Bretonia Mining and Fabrication (BMF) is a nationalized Bretonian Mining and Industrial corporation that competes with Dauman heavy Construction and the Independant Miners Guild.
They mine Gold, Berylium, Niobium and Diamonds
They partner with Border World Exports.
Bretonia Mining and Fabrication stands as a beacon of industrial prowess and resilience in the vast expanse of Bretonian space. From its headquarters orbiting Planet New London, BMF has evolved into a formidable commercial entity with operations spanning Bretonia and the Border Worlds.
History
Founded in 821 A.S. by the visionary Lord Duncan MacRae, BMF's mission transcends mere profit. Instead, it seeks to provide well-paid jobs for Bretonians and allies while fortifying the Bretonian economy through the production of essential resources, such as ore, spaceship equipment, and space stations.
Responding to the loss of the Leeds system and frequent attacks from GRN, BMF demonstrated its commitment by designating Fortisec as a security station to support Planet New London. The company actively aided Leeds refugees and endeavors to reclaim lost stations, emphasizing its dedication to Bretonia's security and well-being.
BMM BMF Modus Operandi
BMF operates on a democratic ethos, involving all members in decision-making processes. The company envisions market expansion, revenue growth, and increased outsourcing contracts. To achieve this, the production strategy aims to enhance core capabilities, upgrade facilities, and support Bretonia's Armed Forces and Police Authority.
In mining operations, BMF used to dominate Gold Ore extraction in the Dublin system, however with the loss of the system to the Molly BMF now seeks to diversify into Silver, BMF also mines Diamonds, and Niobium.
A call is extended to passionate miners, offering attractive contracts, luxurious mining vessels, and a unique Tea & Pee Bar experience.
An old space station from Bretonia's age of expansion, Thames was designed to function as a hub for in and outbound cargo for Planet New London, and a storehouse for BMM Gold exports from Dublin.
In 826 AS, Thames found itself in the middle of the Battle for Planet New London, the largest fleet battle in human history. It is believed that Thames survived the battle with minimal damage because Gallic forces had intended to use the station as a staging depot for a terrestrial invasion once orbital space had been secured.
With the loss of Graves Station in 831 AS, Thames saw a sharp drop in traffic, although some Gold continues to be stocked as a result of confiscations by the Essex blockade, or extremely dangerous 'wildcat' expeditions by the most desperate or foolhardy of BMM miners.
Douglas Station is owned and operated by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) for the manufacturing of Polymers and Terraforming Gases using the abundant raw materials in the system. Security around the facility is abnormally high due to frequent skirmishes with Corsairs.
The Uranium Processing Center stationed at LD-14 was a vital supplier of MOX to the other colonies, generating significant revenue for the Bretonian government. Despite the harsh conditions onboard, the salaries offered to those willing to serve ensured a steady supply of workers. However, the center faced frequent attacks from terrorist groups attempting to obtain weapons-grade plutonium, which added to the already hazardous working conditions. As a result, security measures were heightened.
Following a reconstruction period that lasted until 832 A.S, LD-14 is now fully operational in the Leeds system. Its reopening not only relieves fuel pressures on the house but also provides a valuable source of exports, particularly with the situation in Dublin.

Peterborough is a Beryllium mining and processing station recently established by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing to take full advantage of the Beryllium deposits discovered in the asteroid field north of Planet Cambridge. Most of the Beryllium processed at Peterborough is being shipped by Bowex, BMM's main shipping partner.
After the Gallic War's conclusion, the Bretonian government was forced to evaluate its long term options for the construction of a military shipyard. Despite the symbolic and cultural value of Southampton Shipyard, it was ultimately determined that the cost of recovery and the wider strategic position made a New London site infeasible. Following the Glassing of Leeds, Bretonia's reduced ability to adequately secure the Tau frontier would place a repaired Southampton at unacceptable risk in the event of a future war. Similarly, it was deemed unacceptable for Aland to continue operating as Bretonia's main military shipyard on anything but a short-term emergency basis due to its exposed location and inadequate facilities. After a protracted deliberation period a decision was made to develop a new installation in Cambridge, orbiting Planet Sarum. The Construction Ship Fenland was deployed to handle this task, hauling large sections of the new shipyard consisting of individually constructed modules. Each module is hauled to the construction site to be welded together.
After a lengthy construction period which saw non-Bretonian participation, even from BMM mining rival Daumann, the ship yard was completed in late 827, and was officially named Portsmouth Shipyard in a ceremony observed by the monarch. The shipyard completion has made Aland no longer required for ship building efforts, with most of the production being moved over to the far more capable Portsmouth.
Bretonia Mining and Fabrication's (BMF) nerve center, Isle of Skye orbits Planet New London, serving as the epicenter of one of the galaxy's largest commercial enterprises for many years.
Upgraded into a ship scanning facility and small shipyard in 826 A.S., serveces and maintains BMM-BMF fleets.
Isle of Skye remains a major comercial hub in New London.
Originally designated to protect Fortitudine miners, Fortisec faced decommissioning in 827 A.S., only to be resurrected in Operation Stronghold as the headquarters of BMF's Security Wing.
Fortisec now stands as a symbol of BMF's commitment to safeguarding its assets and personnel, supporting Bretonia's Armed Forces, and countering external threats.
Fortitudine, BMF's first space station, oversees Gold Ore mining in the Dublin system.
Serving as a hub for administrative, storage, and residential needs, Fortitudine beckons skilled miners with lucrative contracts, luxurious vessels, and a unique Tea & Pee Bar our R&R space.
Fortitudine Expansion and coupling with Lord MacRae Shipyard
With the end of the Galic war, BMM started rebuilding their shipyard, this situation gave BMF the unique opportunity of relocating the Lord MacRae Shipyard mega-structure to Fortitudine further increassing the Station size as it has become a major trading center.
Fortitudine is now running with a skeleton crew so it can be used by any miner bold enough to still mine the Dublin fields although the corporation is currently seeking alternative minerals due to the recent Dublin developments.
Aland Monument, oversees Silver ore refining and mining in Omega 7
Currently developing Silver ore refining capable equipment and crews.

Diplomacy
BMF is not judging any living being prior meeting in person. But, of course we are respecting Bretonian law and its stated enemies. But in certain situations, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
In business it is never good to burn a bridge, not all business is a relationship so keeping all lines of communication open and friendly is a good policy and there are always going to be areas of weakness where a competitor can step in and help and that goes for both sides
