Synopsis
Interspace Commerce is one of the few corporations that has ability to deal in all four Sirius houses. Started as a banking company, Interspace understood that gaining profit and influence is faster by entering the shipping business. Advantage of having a station for each house in their capital system and one very strategical station in Okinawa led to one of the best infrastructures for reaching their aims - becomming #1 in shipping business. At this moment Interspace Commerce is by far one of the richest corporations in Sirius, trying to keep its neutrality towards all houses, however having Libertonian roots, it is met with quite unfriendly manner in Rheinland that led to various restrictions while visiting Rheinland.
History
History of Interspace Commerce starts back in 218 A.S, when Ageira Technologies and Deep Space Engineering founded company, capable of providing long term loans for parties, interested in hiring Ageira and DSE to build Jump Gates. Interspace was the only company, which performed high risk - high profit funding. Billions of credits were poured into constructing Jump Gates all across Sirius.
When Trade Lanes were invented in 280 A.S, Interspace got even more business to conduct. They loaned money to governments with contract, that those Trade Lanes will remain property of Interspace Commerce for time being, while still recieving percentages coming from clients' debts. However that did not lasted forever, as of 521 A.S. Interspace lost billions of profit due to Kusari and Rheinland nationalising their Trade Lane systems. In return, Interspace got rights to receive taxes from usage of Trade Lanes for next 200 years. That was still not even close to make up for losses. Bonn Station was constructed to oversee this transition and collection of taxes in Rheinland. Kusari at that time was hesitant to allow foreigners crowd their space, so Interspace was allowed to have offices on planet New Tokyo. Interspace Commerce started insuracing cargo shipments to get back on the track.
700 A.S. brought new inventions to Interspace's advantage. Ageira Technologies, in partnership with Interspace Commerce, created Universal Ship Identification system (USI), which allowed to track shipments. Many speculated it gave an edge over competitors, but no proof was provided. Interspace used this information to plan its own shipping business.
In 710 A.S. an amendment in the Sirius Commerce Pact was added, which allowed Interspace to establish a base in New Tokyo; Roppongi Station was built shortly after. While it was a great step for spreading influece and getting into new markets. However this move angered Kusari's population, especially the part with old and traditional views. Interspace had hard time properly conducting business in Kusari, but each decade it got more and more supporters, yet not enough to stop the passive aggression.
And in 718 A.S, date to celebrate 500th year of business, Interspace entered the market of cargo movement. While many speculated banking corporation won't be able to compete with major shipping companies, Interspace proved, what they are capable of. Interspace hired subcontractors first, not risking to take full responsibility of many possible infractions.
Divisions
Interspace Commerce has two public divisions that perform the tasks of their respective names. Pilots assigned to one of them cannot be at the same on the other for the legal procedures reasons. Some papers suggest that Interspace Commerce has third division, however no evidence of its existance can be found or any rumours heard. The only
Security
Security Division was gathered for main reason of escort Transportation Division or scout ahead to make sure lanes and open space is clear. While it is certainly risky work spot, some pilots simply work for the thrill of a danger. And because of that Interspace Commerce allows to openly hunt all Lane Hacker for the crimes they did, are doing and will do. Sometimes pilots will pursue Hackers instead of continuing escorting convoy, just to show their dedication to annihilating such threat. There are rumours, that the most successful and experienced pilots are being employed for another, elite division that no one knows of, but that is once again only rumours.
Transportation
Transportation Division employs one of the best crews out there. Shippers are chosen from all corners across the Sirius once they submit an application to offices and after review they might be asked for interview. While Interspace Commerce is rather new in shipping business, the broad expansion it made already sets quite nice business for fulfilling market's demands all across the Sirius. That is the main factor why Interspace Commerce's Transportation Division is so successful in these times. One should always remember that Interspace Commerce will rather not get involved into wars due to weak relationship with Kusari and Rheinland. However some individuals simply has no moral for such orders and goes rogue while still hiding behind IC's banner, thus making a lot of trouble for Board of Directors to resolve.
