Nook Development Corporation
The Nook Development Corporation is a powerful Outer Rim development conglomerate that has come to dominate much of the Outer Rim. The corporation has been run by the aristocratic Nook family for over 3 centuries and is currently run by the wealthy and savvy Tanooki businessman Tomaris Nook. Nook Development Corporation’s main enterprise is developing Outer Rim worlds and or establishing settlements on relatively unexplored worlds. They do this by setting up essential infrastructure on remote and/or underdeveloped areas of the rim as a service for settlers and locals. Over the years, the Nook Corporation has grown to economically and even politically control a large portion of the Outer Rim, becoming a monopoly in those areas. Because of this among other things, the company has developed some shady practices including sabotaging competition, blackmailing worlds economically dependent on them into compliance, and imposing progressively higher costs and taxes on their customers. The Nook Corporation and the Nook family have several subsidiaries including NookNet Communications, Nook Luxury Liners, Nook Rim Shipping, and the Nook Real Estate Company.
