Oskemoi Heavy Industries, PLC of Binf is a major producer of starships. I'd suspect they also make small craft. Binf has been settled for a long time (about a thousand years); it's a good place to be from, not to be. It's a marginal world, with a history of violent supression of political protest. Surface side population are stuck in their domes, the ruling orbital elite aren't above dropping a big rock on a dome they think is too uppity. Nexa Fruit (whose real business really is fruit) are a co-op owned by Nexan fruit farmers that work to promote and transport Nexan produce. They have a large number of starships, which carry Nexa's produce to the rest of their sector, and general freight and passenger service on the way back. They also own the cargo handling facilities in Nexa orbit, run a ship yard, and so on. -- David Scheidt [email protected] _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
