Infocard:
Kruger Minerals works in partnership with ALG Waste Disposal to mine the valuable resource deposits within Rheinland and its neighboring territories.
Kruger was a primary supporter of the 80-Years War. After the conflict ending in disaster, Kruger's base operations was exhausted and the company persecuted. Today Kruger is attempting to rebuild by establishing an alliance with ALG Waste Disposal.

History:
In 193 A.S. a multitude of small companies were formed in preparation for securing contracts to mine the distant systems, sealing lucrative deals. Kruger Minerals was one of these companies and was successful in obtaining rights to establishing mining operations in Dresden as well as receiving considerable government backing in regard to its plans of expansion.
However, in early 587 A.S., the company was put in a difficult place. Their largest rival, Daumann Heavy Construction, had succeeded in claiming the remaining mining fields in Dresden, thus striking out expansion plans. Kruger were faced with the prospect of losing out on its government influences and a resulting economic decline. They had no choice but to expand into the Crow Nebula, since they felt that there was enough gas for everyone in Sigma-13, but that viewpoint was obviously not shared by the GMG.
Kruger lost almost everything during the 80 years war, a large portion of their fleet, a station, their expansion plans, as well as having to pay the cost of reparations to the GMG. Since then, further restrictions on their ethical standards and further compensation payments left the company unable to recover.
In 817 A.S., after numerous negotiations between ALG and Kruger, an agreement was made to merge the Glaenzende Steine Division into the ALG as a trial initiative. The details of this are secret, however it is rumoured that the offer was more substantial than predicted. This is in ALG's interests, as this money will be put towards remodeling and modernising the division, therefore increasing output. It is hoped by ALG Waste Disposal that this will be the first step of many into total control, there is no other foreseeable option for Kruger to survive.
Though Kruger Minerals encourages their labour force to take breaks when they are too tired to work safely; it is their choice to keep working because no work means no pay; ALG would like to see further improvements in the worker standards, and as displayed by their own example have found that workers with more positive attitudes are more productive and profitable. This ideology has been imposed on the Glaenzende Steine Initiative, in which workers will have reduced hours, higher wages, higher grade equipment and protection provided.
This Initiative will serve to provide materials and services to both ALG and Kruger Mineralien. Still involved in mining operations, but expanding to incorporate waste disposal and manufacturing support.
Late 817 A.S., Kruger is strating to grow again and it has made a remarkably grand level of reform. They are more convenient and they are trying to claim all Kruger fields absolutely. They have even developed a new logo as a symbol of new times. The new task of Kruger Minerals is to conquer the market, which is currently dominated by Daumann Heavy Construction.
How did Kruger started to reestablish:
The reforming leader was the ex-kruger worker that rejoined the company. When he joined his rank was restored as Vice Chairman, so he had a chance to buy a majority of shares, mainly due to his rank. He bought them from his money that he got from selling his private business ships Other reasons unknown. chance showed up when the last Chairman got his company in great debts and it was close to ALG take over, he needed money to pay back his debts. The Vice Chairman offered him help and he agreed just to leave this company running. When he payed back he left the company leaving the Vice Chairman as Chairman. He left the company with small ammount of shares but the new leader soon bought them too and now he holds his hands on Kruger Minerals. However, ALG still owns a great ammount of company shares. Leader hopes that Kruger will be reestabished again, because he has a great funds that can be used for company recovery.(//THIS part will need reforms.)
Mining

Kruger minerals is Mining Based company that is focused on Copper, Cobalt and Silver mining. They hold one diamond field too but expansion is not possible, due to the financial crisis the company has to face. Dresden diamond mining field is almost depleated but Kruger still believes that there are "hidden" diamond mining places there.
Kruger Minerals is the Rheinland corporation that operates inside Rheinland and its borders. Mainly we operate in the following systems: New Berlin, Dresden, Frankfurt, Omega-7, Omega-3. However, we can be seen in Stuttgart, Hamburg and Munich too. We also do trade runs throughout Sirius, mainly between three Houses other than Liberty.

Bases
Essen station. Kruger Minerals HQ in Berlin.
Here is the list with the stations owned by Kruger Minerals.
New Berlin- Essen Station CLASS: Abbey
GRAVITY: Partial
DOCKING: Yes
AMENITIES: Yes
POPULATION: 2K
Essen station is the headquarters and primary manufacturing facility for Kruger Minerals, a once proud company experiencing hard times. Wishing to exploit the vast gas resources of The crow nebula despite claims made to the territory by the Gas Mining Guild (GMG), Kruger was a primary supporter of the 80-Years War. After that conflict ended in disaster, Kruger's capital was exhausted and the company persecuted. Today Kruger is attempting to rebuild by allying itself with ALG Waste Disposal.
Dresden- Bautzen Station CLASS: Sanctuary
GRAVITY: Partial
DOCKING: Yes
AMENITIES: Limited
POPULATION: 900
Bautzen Station supports the Kruger Minerals operation in Dresden system.
Smaller than the rival Daumann facility at Leipzig, Kruger chose to focus solely on the extraction of Diamonds from the shifting clouds and rogue asteroids that populate Dresden.
Built in 288A.S., shortly after the construction of the New Berlin to Dresden Jump Gate, Bautzen station supports the Kruger Minerals mining operations in the Dresden system. Smaller than the rival Daumann facility in Leipzig, Kruger chose to focus solely on the extraction of Diamonds from the shifting clouds and rogue asteroids that populate Dresden, particulary in the Schwefelnebel. It is from here that the famous blue diamonds, known as "Hessian Tears" originated, mined from the lava fields of Dresden by the tireless efforts of Kruger Miners. The vast majority of the diamonds mined in Dresden are used in industrial concerns. However, as the quality is often not good enough for the luxury goods markets.
Omega-7- Elbrich Mining Facility CLASS: Cathedral
GRAVITY: Partial
DOCKING: Yes
AMENITIES: Limited
POPULATION: 400
Elbrich Mining Facility is owned and operated by Kruger Minerals. Elbrich focuses exclusevely on the extraction of Silver from local asteroid fields.
Frankfurt- Mannheim Station CLASS: Sanctuary
GRAVITY: Partial
DOCKING: Yes
AMENITIES: Yes
POPULATION: 400
Mannheim Station is the farthest outpost of the once vast Kruger Mineral concern, mining resources from the nearby gas giant, Heidelberg. The impure gas resources collected from Heidelberg, however, require the re-synthesis of H-Fuel in a process that is uneconomical, but which provides one of the few sources for H-Fuel in Rheinland space.
Officialy Mannheim Station is owned by Kruger Minerals and they use the base to mine deuterium from the nearby gas giant Heidelberg. Originally constructed in 670A.S. by Daumann, Mannheim never made much profit, although Daumann used it more for the prestige of owning the only H-Fuel manufacturing facility in Rheinland than for making money directly, for it gave them a bit more power, especially of their Kruger rivals.
Eventualy, however, as the after-effects of the Eighty Years War faded away, Daumann made several deals and swapped the ownership of Mannheim and its gas miners in exchange for the ownership of the planet Holstein. Kruger, happy to get rid of this terraforming project on Holstein, was unaware of the raw material deposits that Dumann surveyors had found on Holstein, nor of Daumann's intent to restart terraforming process. Nevertheless, Kruger has made a reasonable amount of money out of selling H-Fuel at an extrimely high cost to the Rheinland Military, who have had little choice but to buy it from Kruger, for the Gas Miner Guild (GMG) woud charge the Rheinland Military an exorbitan price.
Ships

Kruger Minerals fleet mainly uses civilian or rheinland ships.
[color=#FF8000]Fighters/Bombers
These vessels are used for escorting and defending kruger ships and stations. Escorts are effective for defending Kruger transports. If there is a possible threat Kruger escorts tries to block this threat before it gets close to the transport or station. Kruger|Name.Surname Eagle

Freighters/Transports
Freighters and Transports are used to transfer goods between stations through the Sirius. Freighters are small and fast used for close distance trading and supporting. However, Transports are used for long distance trading. These ships has a large cargobay and they are not so agile as Freighters. Kruger|Shipname Behemoth

Freighter. Cargo - 275.
Mining ships
Mining ships are used for valuable resource extraction from the mineable fields. Like the transports, there are two mining ship classes small miners and large miner. Small miners are used to get small ammounts of resources delivered to nearby base or they work as personal miners for transports to get goods on board the transport fast. Large miner is used to mine and collect large ammounts of resources. They can work as resource storage too, because it has a large cargohold, and that means resource collector can trade while miner extracts the resources. Mining equipment is differient too, Large miner can get more resources from rocks due to advanced mining equipment. However, it is not so agile as small miners. Kruger|MS-Shipname Mining Ship

//Before you post
1st - Somebody of you might think that Kruger is owned by ALG... well it is not, yet. ALG owns GSI, it is the one part from Kruger. Last Kruger faction died using this RP.
2nd - If you think that something is OORP please post here.
3rd - If you find mistakes, please post here.
4th - If you want to know something more feel free to post here.
5th - Feel free to rate this.
6th - Yes, yes I know... History I got from wiki... but I cant rewrite history. O and... few facts were taken too.
7th - No recruiting yet.
I still find the kruger faction intriguing, a bit of a corporate underdog. I should still have my GSI characters, however, at this time I really can't make a commitment to any faction. I do have a kruger/rheinland-related idea I've been meaning to introduce for a long long time which involves a kruger 'higher-up'.
Sorry I digress, best of luck, it's a tricky one, and if you have any questions or you're unsure about anything don't hesitate to ask.
-Ex Kruger leader
Yes, I know... Had to write RP using your ex-leader. Anyway kruger is in the Sirius, so whats the problem using it? I think there is none. Anyway if there is going to be Kruger-Alg connection then all stations will be renamed into one name (Kruger and ALG stations) and the game will be remoded again. It is not that simple so we have to try survive.
O and yes, if there will be questions I will definietly ask. Feel free to check our forum and register so you can see our idea completely.
It is really good to hear that! But there is a lot of work to be done...
I hope this thing will rise again soon... We are 2 members acctive right now, when you wil join 3, but we need more.

I don't think the case of it being remodded is a negative thing at all, infact there has been a serious neglect of corporation enhancement, especially when compared with IMG. The story currently is that the company has been on the very brink of dying with no hope for over 17 years, I'd like to see that progressed. If it is suddenly reborn then how?
Well this company is trying to survive and is trying to hold on. Right now we RP as company that doesn't want to be claimed. And trading itself shows that company can survive... we are buying mining machinery and seling diamonds, silver, copper, cobalt. I don't see why it can't recover. And you are right, RP hasn't changed for 17 years indeed but it is the time to continue this RP.
Edit: And BTW as long as it is NPC faction we can still RP it. I and ALG eader will speak about future, about merging or surviving.
Ah, glad to see Kruger coming back! I was RPing a Kruger Ragnar for a while, transporting diamonds from Dresden to New Tokyo, but I eventually scrapped the character. I'd be glad to remake him, though. I wouldn't mind using a Humpback, either, if you want to save the Ragnar for your "special" ships.
Also, one mistake I found in your write-up:
Quote:Mannheim Station is the farthest outpost of the once vast Kruger Mineral concern, mining resources from the nearby gas giant, Munich. The impure gas resources collected from Munich, however, require the re-synthesis of H-Fuel in a process that is uneconomical, but which provides one of the few sources for H-Fuel in Rheinland space.
That should say Heidelberg instead of Munich. We renamed the planet when the Munich system was added to the mod, but there are still some infocards that were never fixed to reflect that change.
Other than that, looks great! I'll contact you about joining up.
Thank you that you are interested... strange, I know that this planet is not munich, I might have writen it when I was thinking about differient things, thank you.
edit: O wait... it is not wrong it was just from the infocard
' Wrote:That should say Heidelberg instead of Munich. We renamed the planet when the Munich system was added to the mod, but there are still some infocards that were never fixed to reflect that change.
The infocard was actually fixed, however, in beta 5, or somesuch, the new infocards were replaced by the old ones again. Rather bothering, I liked the new infocards (especially Vierlandes').
