The Consortium
"Expansion is Life."
The Consortium is the largest faction in the Third Horizon and the current leader of the Zenithian factions. It consists of a group of large corporations which together dominate trade, manufacturing, media, science and colonization.
The Consortium of today consists of about twenty larger companies, all owning installations and factories throughout the Horizon. Most production facilities are located on Kua or in the larger systems, but new colonies are established all the time. The larger corporations have representatives on the board of directors, the faction’s governing body, and the three largest ones – the Bulletin, the Foundation and the Colonial Agency – each have their own seat at the Council of Factions.
The current faction director and council member is Tiera Yriedes. She is closely associated with the military industrial trinity Parr-Nestera, Tilides and Xoar, and a personal friend of Legion general Ekaterina Hierida.
The new, aggressive policies promoted by Tiera have begun to escalate conflicts across the Horizon. A storm is coming.
Public Agenda
Lately, under the leadership of Tiera Yriedes, the Consortium has become even more aggressive about expansion and increasing profits, which is making them many enemies across the Horizon.
History
The Consortium and the Coriolis Station are one – so closely tied together that most people in the Horizon can’t tell them apart. Coriolis was constructed using materials from the dismantling of the Zenith, on the orders of the Yreides family, the seconds-in-command. The Yriedeses had a vision that became the Consortium’s motto: “Sell everything to everyone”. The Yriedes clan, together with the families Parr, Nestera, and Evgeni founded the core group of companies that now, some sixty years later, have grown into one huge faction.
