Corporation Name: Atrium Entertainment Incorporated
Headquarters: Kirima (Kalinda System)
Locations: Faldos & Keres I
Operations: Pugilistic Entertainment & Slave Trading
Rationale: Remnants of a Criminal Organization that followed the creed of the Crucible loosely.
Tier: Tier 2
Description: Atrium Entertainment Incorporated deals in the pugilist arts, otherwise known as unarmed combat or mixed martial arts, pitting two or more fighters against one another in competitions of skill. These fights are never lethal and are decided by knock out, submission or via a panel of judges after a time limit is reached in the fights themselves. Atrium Entertainment markets these fights via the holonet and live events where a gate is collected for seating and spectators watch matches in person. Prices vary dependent on the exact venue, the location of seating and the popularity of the combatants.
As a company Atrium Entertainment is fairly new however it has a large following in the outer rim and as far as the unknown regions where laws are laxer and planets tend to be less civilized. It caters to those who want to see one on one fights between different men, women and races appealing not only to the love of the sport but also the gambler in people who have been known to bet on the outcome of fights. The Corporation itself was unknown until a handful of years ago when it began distributing its name through word of mouth and doing business on a small scale.
While Atrium claims its business is completely legitimate, and this is at least partially true, it also deals in the slave trade. Not all fighters participate willingly, many are slave bought on the black market world of Faldos where Atrium retains an anonymous house of sale, and not all losers survive. Atrium offers a black market venue for clients on a much smaller scale where fighters, usually slaves, will battle to the death. Slaves who are killed are obviously discarded. Slaves that win are given special treatment and educated. Atrium has been known to sell winning fighters, of both genders, as bodyguards and concubines to exclusive clientele.
Atrium Entertainments headquarters is on the planet Kirima in the Kalinda System however it maintains to other main locations. Faldos where it maintains its anonymous house of sale and Keres I, a relatively out of the way and uninhabited world, where it maintains broadcast towers and hosts fights due to a, mostly, nonexistant government.
The Corporation maintains ties to governments only in that it occasionally requires sanctions from them depending on the worlds where certain events are held but is politically neutral publicly. Privately the corporation will support governments and/or regimes that tolerate the slave trade as this would, in turn, allow the corporation to operate more freely and increase its revenue in that field.
