Intergalactic Consortium of Resources [ICOR] - Organizations

History

Foundation and Early Days (2890 – 2900)
The Intergalactic Consortium of Resources, commonly known as ICOR, was founded in 2890 by a group of ambitious corporate magnates with the goal of becoming the galaxy’s leading resource extraction and mining corporation. ICOR’s official mission was to promote sustainable resource gathering while maintaining a lawful, employee-focused environment that upheld the highest ethical standards.

During its early years, ICOR quickly established itself as a rising star in the industry by leveraging state-of-the-art technology to harvest rare minerals, gases, and metals from uncharted worlds. Their operations expanded rapidly across UEE space, securing lucrative contracts from various mega-corporations and governments.

Despite its success, there were whispers of ICOR’s operations being less ethical behind the scenes. The company’s rapid expansion came at the cost of heavily exploiting frontier worlds and their populations, often under dubious legal pretenses. These practices were carefully concealed from public scrutiny through bribery and careful manipulation of UEE law.

Golden Era of Expansion (2900 – 2930)
By the turn of the 30th century, ICOR was a powerhouse, its influence stretching across the Stanton system and beyond. Its carefully cultivated image as a benevolent corporation, focused on sustainability and innovation, earned it a reputation as a model of corporate responsibility. They invested heavily in PR campaigns, positioning ICOR as a shining example of lawful corporate citizenship within the UEE.

Internally, the company operated very differently. Employees were given generous benefits packages, including high salaries, medical care, and performance incentives, which helped maintain a sense of loyalty. However, beneath the surface, ICOR’s management secretly implemented draconian policies, locking employees into restrictive contracts that made it nearly impossible for them to leave the corporation. Workers who questioned corporate practices or tried to unionize mysteriously disappeared or found themselves reassigned to harsh, isolated operations on dangerous mining worlds.

On the public stage, ICOR championed “ethical resource extraction,” but in reality, they exploited the weakest systems in the galaxy, pillaging planets and leaving behind environmental devastation. To maintain their facade, they used subsidiaries and mercenary groups to carry out the most illegal operations, ensuring their public face remained untarnished.

The Shadow Years (2930 – 2950)
As the 30th century progressed, ICOR’s true nature became harder to hide. The company’s ruthless pursuit of profit led to increasingly reckless operations in contested territories. It was during this period that ICOR began to clash with local resistance groups and even other corporations who sought to protect their own interests. These operations were often attributed to rogue elements or third-party contractors, insulating ICOR from direct accountability.

Internally, the corporation tightened control over its workforce. Employees were monitored by an advanced AI surveillance system called “Oculus,” which analyzed worker behavior and flagged any signs of discontent or potential whistleblowers. Promotions were dangled like carrots, but often led employees into greater levels of entrapment. To maintain their facade, ICOR held lavish corporate events and morale-building retreats, fostering a sense of camaraderie among their workforce, while continuing to enforce strict non-disclosure agreements and aggressive security measures to prevent leaks of their darker activities.

Present Day (2950 – Present)
Today, ICOR is one of the most powerful and feared corporations in the galaxy. Their influence spans multiple star systems, and they are considered one of the leading forces in the resource extraction sector. While the general public views them as a lawful corporation that brings economic prosperity to the systems they operate in, those who have worked for or against ICOR know the truth: it is a heartless, cutthroat organization with a dark, violent core.

To this day, ICOR continues its dual existence, pretending to uphold the values of corporate responsibility while engaging in some of the most nefarious acts in the galaxy. Their employees, bound by golden handcuffs, either don’t know the full extent of the company’s corruption or are too afraid to speak out. The corporation’s slogan, “Building a Brighter Future,” echoes across the stars, but beneath that promise lies a chilling truth: ICOR will stop at nothing to secure power, wealth, and control.

ICOR: The Galaxy’s Most Dangerous Ally
Though it pretends to operate within the bounds of UEE law, ICOR’s true allegiance is to itself. Its tentacles stretch into every corner of the universe, and those who oppose them often find themselves crushed under the weight of their own ambitions. To many, ICOR is a symbol of corporate tyranny hiding behind a veneer of righteousness—an empire built on exploitation, deception, and fear.
