Greyhound Passenger Transportation began as a conglomerate of small transport companies owned by Leeds' minor noble House of Curtis. It was not until an important fleet was built that the Curtis Lords merged all these companies in a single one, named like that because of the color of the fleet's hulls. Later, House of Curtis itself incorporated the greyhound dogs into their coat of arms.
The company's bonds with Orbital Spa & Cruise date back to the 4th century A.S. when the Cortezian corporation welcomed House of Curtis on their exile during the rebellion on Leeds. Since then, GPT has been the Bretonian branch of OS&C. It's headquarters are located at Luxury Liner Shetland in Edinburgh, base which they also govern, though it also has offices in Planet Curacao, in the Cortez system.
Being owned by a Bretonian noble house, the diplomacy of Greyhound Passenger Transportation is slightly different from the one of Orbital Spa & Cruise's core. GPT is loyal to the Bretonian monarchy. Because of this, GPT operates on a side track of OS&C's path, having for example their own independent communication channel.

[font=Garamond][color=#000000]Rheinland Touren und Transport (RheinTouren)
Rheinland Touren und Transport is the Rheinlandische Branch of Orbital Spa and Cruise. It is a relatively young new company formed entirely on the ambitions, and loans, of its CEO and Founder, Gottfried Schulz. It was a mixture of destiny and chance that brought the young company to its creation. As fortune, or fate, had it a young Rheinlander by the name of Hans Weiss was employed in Greyhound Transportation, the Bretonian Branch of Orbital Spa and Cruise.
As Herr Weiss was often at Augsburg Orbital Colony, tranporting vacationers and New Berliners to and from the Colony. It just so happened that Gottfried Schulz booked a TIER-1 VIP luxury trip on Weiss's ship the Easy Cure. This allowed Gottfried to meet the young Rheinlander at the dinner table. Upon discovering the young Captain was from Rheinland, Gottfried asked the captain why not work for a good Rheinland Company. And to Gottfried's surprise Herr Weiss simply responded that Rheinland was devoid of such a company. This puzzled Gottfried, as he knew Planet Baden Baden was a very profitable enterprise. The fact that Orbital Spa and Cruise had neglected assignment of a true overseer meant an opportunity was to be had.
Using Gottfried's modest fleet of logistic ships and his single Enterprise Liner he used to conduct tours around Augsburg he contacted Orbital Spa and Cruise's main office with a proposition. Gottfried would combine his modest fleet with Orbital's operations for a small price. He would head the new Rheinland corporation and take over the management of Planet Baden Baden. After a small amount of negotiation it was agreed upon that the management of Rheinland Orbital Spa and Cruise would go to this young corporation and its charismatic leader.
Now sitting in his office on Augsburg, Gottfried contemplates where to go from here. He can only see a bright future for RheinTouren. But this is just the beginning of the story for RheinTouren. And much has yet to be said if the young company can even survive economically.

Future inclusion of sub-groups.
We retain the right to include sub-groups in the future. However sub-groups will be required to perform for one month on a trail basis before being fully included. Only one Sub-group may be added for each of the following Houses, Liberty, Rheinland and Kusari.
New sub groups here after joining OS&C| will have a tag at the end of the character/ship names. And also reserve the right to use House Civilian ships from the house they reside from.
We also reserve the right to allow sub-groups to make there own ranking system if they wish to do so,which must be with in the Officer 1 to 6 scale system. One being the lowest and six being the highest.
They may also write a write up. This write up must be checked by myself before being updated on the OS&C| Information thread. And be in relation to its chosen sub-group.
If you mean Skullz's try to do an OS&C summit that got trolled by some factions and had to go to the bin, most of us in OS&C live our lives as if that had never happened, and look down on those who ruined it, obviously.
All of these were developed in the last 6 months or less. Although GH exists since 2010, it was only a way to help new players then, and it was in 2011 when it got a full roster and broadened its activities.
We have a new member "El Vlado" which now brings our total membership count to 11 players.
However delayed, our new media shall be ready in the next few days.
LastlyI would like to re-enforce the following; Myself and those with in OS&C|, being all its members continue to roleplay as if the summit discussions never happened.
My reasoning is, I do not respect those of whom think it was my responsibility to research other factions that I have no interest in, and that when I ask for information to be given to me, that a roleplay reply of boasting with no evidence requested given is not is not the correct course of action. Secondly, that I find it unreasonable in roleplay for Lawfulls to want unlawfull known terrorists to attend. (Thats like the UN asking terrerists to come to a UN meeting)
I have said the reasons in the past, but here they are again.

Seeing as there's not much else going on in this thread, might as well ask if you can buy you way onto the board through shares, in the same way you can with Planetform?
