Under the terms of a Bretonian charter, a cadre of Cambridge researchers and California consultants were given a challenge: Transform a planet from a cold, desert locale with a limited carbon dioxide atmosphere into an agricultural planet-within 400 years.

Planetform had few enemies until 67 years ago, when the radical eco-terrorist group the Gaians formed within the research environments of Edinburgh's Gaia Planet and Cambridge University. The Groups amateurish efforts soon matured into a serious threat to Planetform operations throughout Bretonian space.

Planetform began manufacturing Xenobiotic Filters in 815 A.S., which are essential in creating stations. Due to the recent war with Kusari, and the current war with Gallia, Planetform has taken severe economical hits with the loss of Planet Harris and Planet Ayr, as well as Perth Station leaving Planetform much weaker than it used to be.Early in 819 A.S., Stephan Littlebury took over control of the company and is now making radical changes within Planetform, including striking deals with organisations in the Nomad and Edge Worlds, rebuilding the economic strength of Planetform, as well as initiating Guerilla warfare tactics against the Gallic War Machine.

Due to the recent war with Kusari, and the current war with Gallia, Planetform has taken severe economical hits with the loss of Planet Harris and Planet Ayr, as well as Perth Station leaving Planetform much weaker than it used to be and many believed it to be on the verge of collapse.

Early in 819 A.S., Stephan Littlebury took over control of the company and is now attempting to rebuild the corporate strength that Planetform once held. Three years later, Planetform was still struggling. Littlebury had invested vast fortunes of the company's  resources into odd and fruitless ventures and schemes. In 822 A.S, as the company slowly sank into debt and creditors were taking it apart one ship at a time, Littlebury gave up and stepped down as CEO of the company, retiring to a quiet and unknown location to research ways of terraforming a sun. Taking up the reins of power of the now almost nonexistent company, Clarissa Caldwell quickly took control.  Carrington, a highly motivated individual, quickly reviewed the company's resources and made plans to push Planetform back to the forefront of planetary terraforming and beyond.
 +
 
 +
Within the first couple days, Carrington had successfully negotiated a number of deals with influential corporations and prominent individuals. To ensure the growth of her company and to aid in the stabilization of the war weary Bretonian economy, she secured contracts for sole use of Bretonian ships through out the Planetform fleet. Carrington quickly ordered and updated the current transports to Bretonian manufacture, selling the old, dilapidated fleet to local scrap dealers. To ensure the safety of the ships and the cargo they carry, Carrington insisted that each new ship be equipped with Cap V armor, giving generous almost interest free loans to those captains that owned their own ships, to update their armor.
 +
 
 +
Having secured her fleet, Carrington turned to the local Universities. Shifting the company's focus from the outer regions back to Bretonia would require new ideas and fresh ways of thinking, and to do that she quickly hired and secured the services of many of the graduating students. 
 +
 
 +
Due to the heavy spending to revitalize the company and its future, Carrington was forced to cut back, shelf or otherwise scrap current and prospective projects. To ensure funding for the current projects and the growth of the company, new deals were sought out. With the help of her newest employees and the few scientists and researches that stayed on, Carrington, through new deals, sought to improve the company's standing and the desire for their products to bring in more funding.
 +
 
 +
With new ideas, more money, new people and new technological advances Carrington plans to pull Planetfrom back from the brink and to a place to support the crown of Bretonia better.

Planetform’s newest base, Methyr-Tydfill, is a staging point for the distribution of Fluorine around Sirius. The uses of Fluorine are varied and Planetform either ships them Planetform bases to be used as a part of terraforming gases (to which most of the gases are shipped to Planet California Minor) or it is sold for it’s various other uses. The most widespread uses of inorganic Fluoride are steel manufacturing and aluminium refining. Where is Organic Fluorine compounds tend to have high chemical and thermal stability, making them useful as refrigerants. Elemental Fluorine can be used in the production of nuclear fuels, and is also used in terraforming gas mixtures.

A small area of Planetform’s operations consist of the harvesting of Alien Organisms directly for the corporation. The operations are small due to the dangerous locations in which the organisms are found. Due to this high threat the previous board of Planetform, for financial reasons, issued isolation orders restricting the mining by the corporation and instead bought the organisms from those more willing to harvest them. With the change of the CEO and a number of board members, combined with new information concerning the locations of these organisms Planetform have expanded their harvesting operations and the board hopes this helps reduce costs and helps them then redirect funding to their other projects

History

Originally founded in 411 A.S by a group of Cambridge researchers with a plan to develop inhospitable and unusable planets. Chartered in 500 A.S and under the terms of a Bretonian charter, this cadre of Cambridge researchers and California consultants, were given a challenge: Transform a planet from a cold, desert locale with a limited carbon dioxide atmosphere into an agricultural planet-within 400 years. Planetform was born. The company grew very slowly, dependent on the largess of the Bretonian Government for most of it's money.

Planetform had few enemies until 67 years ago, when the radical eco-terrorist group the Gaians formed within the research environments of Edinburgh's Gaia Planet and Cambridge University. The Groups amateurish efforts soon matured into a serious threat to Planetform operations throughout Bretonian space.

Planetform began manufacturing Xenobiotic Filters in 815 A.S., which are essential in creating stations. Due to the recent war with Kusari, and the current war with Gallia, Planetform has taken severe economical hits with the loss of Planet Harris and Planet Ayr, as well as Perth Station leaving Planetform much weaker than it used to be and many believed it to be on the verge of collapse. Many employees in their bretonian projects left with their understandings that their wages may not be paid.

Early in 819 A.S., Stephan Littlebury took over control of the company and is now attempting to rebuild the corporate strength that Planetform once held. Three years later, Planetform was still struggling. Littlebury had invested vast fortunes of the company's resources into odd and fruitless ventures and schemes. In 822 A.S, as the company slowly sank into debt and creditors were taking it apart one ship at a time, Littlebury gave up and stepped down as CEO of the company, retiring to a quiet and unknown location to research ways of terraforming a sun. Taking up the reins of power of the now almost nonexistent company, Clarissa Caldwell quickly took control. Carrington, a highly motivated individual, quickly reviewed the company's resources and made plans to push Planetform back to the forefront of planetary terraforming and beyond.

Within the first couple days, Carrington had successfully negotiated a number of deals with influential corporations and prominent individuals. To ensure the growth of her company and to aid in the stabilization of the war weary Bretonian economy, she secured contracts for sole use of Bretonian ships through out the Planetform fleet. Carrington quickly ordered and updated the current transports to Bretonian manufacture, selling the old, dilapidated fleet to local scrap dealers. To ensure the safety of the ships and the cargo they carry, Carrington insisted that each new ship be equipped with Cap V armor, giving generous almost interest free loans to those captains that owned their own ships, to update their armor.

Having secured her fleet, Carrington turned to the local Universities. Shifting the company's focus from the outer regions back to Bretonia would require new ideas and fresh ways of thinking, and to do that she quickly hired and secured the services of many of the graduating students.

With the help of her newest employees and the few scientists and researches that stayed on, Carrington, through new deals, sought to improve the company's standing and the desire for their products to bring in more funding.

With new ideas, more money, new people and new technological advances Carrington plans to pull Planetfrom back from the brink and to a place to support the crown of Bretonia better.


Projects

Current Projects
A list of the current projects that Planetform, Inc has.

Project Artemis
Known to only a select few, it is an ambitios top secret project initiated by CEO Carrington.

Planet Harris
Started in 450 AS. Originally stated for completion in 820 AS. the terraforming timeline has been held up by attacks from Gaians in the later half of the 8th century and first decade of the 9th century. Further delayed by the Tau War between Bretonia and Kusari and then the Gallic invasion. With the Gallic invasion a lot of the funding from the Bretonian Government was reduced and income from other sources for Planetform had to be sources. Prior to the appointment of Clarissa Carrington as CEO in 822 AS Planetform estimated an earliest full colonisation date was still a decade off provided tech levels, funding and supply levels stayed consistent. Following the appointment of Clarissa Carrington and the raft of changes she has implemented Planetform hope with the improved technology they have access to from Liberty, the more frequent supply runs and their ability to import higher quality components due to their new levels of funds that they can bring Planet Harris to a ready point within the next few years.

Planet California Minor Slated to be ready in just 4 years time the new board of Planetform is at a crossroads. With the new CEO’s plan to bring Planetform back to a strong corporation of proud Bretonian heritage the company must now decide if they are going to let the development of California Minor run it’s current course and therefore push their new technological advances help in pushing the development of Planet Harris along; or are they wanting to try and bring the completion date of California Minor forward by deploying their new technologies here first in an attempt to complete this project earlier in an attempt to gain possible lucrative financial contracts.

Planet Ayr
Permanently on hold until they are able to get their hands back on Perth Station from the Gallic Royal Navy. With their push to support the Bretonian Crown the board have effectively closed the planning group that was looking into the possibilities of joining Gallia and terraforming planets for the Gallic Crown

Planet Atka/Cold Bay’s Xenobiotic Filters
With the situation between Liberty and their enemies not yet at a point of stability the project to terraform Atka is currently being held at Pre-Phase 1 levels pending re-evaluation by the Liberty Government. Planetform though are thankful to the Liberty Government for helping turn parts of orbiting Cold Bay Station to a manufacturing unit producing Xenobiotic Filters, made with bacteria that surround thermal vents deep below the seas and pack-ice upon Planet Atka. Through the manufacturing and continual development of these filters Planetform is hopeful that they would help solidify their position in the development of inhabitable stations and planets.

Fluorine Mining
Planetform’s newest base, Methyr-Tydfill, is a staging point for the distribution of Fluorine around Sirius. The uses of Fluorine are varied and Planetform either ships them Planetform bases to be used as a part of terraforming gases (to which most of the gases are shipped to Planet California Minor) or it is sold for it’s various other uses. The most widespread uses of inorganic Fluoride are steel manufacturing and aluminium refining. Where is Organic Fluorine compounds tend to have high chemical and thermal stability, making them useful as refrigerants. Elemental Fluorine can be used in the production of nuclear fuels, and is also used in terraforming gas mixtures.
