We could break their pickaxes, and buy them 6.0
So they can work to pay for all the horrible crimes committed by their king and his army (LaHaye reinvented)!
Quote:Gallic Metal Service S.A. (GMS) is one of the largest corporations in Gallia, and one of the few left that operate independently of the Crown.
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.
Notably, the Council does not consider the corporation its enemy, and would often avoid hostile contact when encountering GMS ships.
