New Callisto Trading Company
The New Callisto Trading Company is the largest and most profitable transport and trading network on the icy moon of New Callisto. It connects the many islands by sea, using a variety of ocean going vessels to link warehouses and docks at every major port and most of the minor ones.
Assets
The company owns more than fifty ships, all registered under the initial four letter designation NCTC with a subsequent serial number indicating the vessel class and insurance identifier.
e.g. NCTC-LCGC-14 is the New Callisto Trading Company, Large Cargo Gossimer Class-14, also known as the Sea Singer.
Goods held in its widely distributed warehouses may belong to the company or may be stored for short periods on behalf of clients making it difficult to estimate their net value to the NCTC but it is probably as much as the wealthiest city state.
History
The New Callisto Trading Company began as a union of three smaller independent operations, which merged to gain the benefits of scale. Initially, the company made its money from the simple fees it charged to ship goods around the moon. More recently, though, it has grown sufficiently wealthy to trade as an entity in its own right, buying, storing and selling goods to maximise profits.
