Semmes Intergalactic / SEMMES

Semmes Intergalactic started life in the year 2020 on a frontier planet known as Shallows-A.

A simple company man by the name of Taylor Paul Semmes worked to create a life for himself and his family as a newly settled explorer/trader. On Shallow-A, he developed one of the only successful colonies on the planet, dubbed, “Shallowfield,” by himself and his comrades. Between 2020 and 2022, Shallowfield saw extensive development to infrastructure, economy and the like, promoted in growth by Semmes’ R&M Frontier Trading Co.

In late summer of 2022, a great hurricane developed just out of range of the settlement’s radar. As it swept into the coastal settlement, it ravaged infrastructure and left homes without walls, and decimated the R&M Frontier Trading Co. headquarters. Semmes had been briefed on the climate of the planet before landing, and despite two years of general success, he had elected to build something akin to a fallout shelter; an underground, self sufficient base that could sustain the entire colony for up to a year if threatened. When the hurricane swept in, Taylor P. Semmes went door to door, moving families and their livelihoods to the bunker with unwavering determination to keep his people safe. Despite their frantic requests, Taylor left the safety of the bunker to conduct a final sweep of the colony, finding a 6 year old girl crying in the streets, her parents nowhere to be seen. Taylor picked the girl up, delivered her to the bunker, and ran back out to the impending destruction before him.

As winds began to howl in excess of 150 mph, his movement slowed. Rain battered him like rocks, the wind threatened to pick him up and throw him away. Searching for anyone, anything else, Semmes was filled with a sense of dread. He would not make it back to the bunker, not like this. His best chance at life was to hide and pray he’d be safe until the storm passed. A family man, Taylor quickly realized that if anyone else was out there, they’d be feeling the same terrible feelings he felt at that very moment. He pressed on.

Taylor Semmes’ body would be recovered some days later, buried beneath the rubble of a fallen building in the road. Reportedly, his face bore a slight smile, an expression displaying acceptance and suggesting that he knew he had accomplished his goal. In the great storm of 2022 on Shallows-A, Semmes was the only casualty. His efforts remained fruitful until the very end, and the colony was allowed to rebuild. In the 2500s, Shallows-A was renamed by UEE exploration ship “Resolute,” and the colony dispersed under new military control. In their time on Shallows-A, thousands of tons of raw materials were refined and utilized for the goal of technological advancement, and the newly organized Semmes Co. Limited was contracted by the UEE to provide several products that would assist them in future campaigns.

SCL would be headquartered on Earth for the remaining centuries, until a new calling would inspire future executives to mold the company back into a state that Semmes himself would have cradled and cultured. In the early 2900s, SCL rebranded into Semmes Intergalactic (SI) and moved its headquarters to New Babbage, Microtech, Stanton. In 2953, executive D. T. “Glare” Anderson was promoted to Fleet Commander & CEO of Semmes Intergalactic. Under his leadership, the organization is seeing unprecedented growth on all fronts.
