Novus Corporation

REPOSTED ON REQUEST OF USER

Novus Corporation
Organizational Information
Headquarters:
  • Eriadu

Locations:
  • Sluis Van
  • Sullust
  • Naboo

Operations:
The Novus Corporation is a multinational corporation whose primary focus is the design, development and production of vessels. While the bulk of their products are designed specifically for the military or private sectors; they do design and produce a limited civilian line of their products. However, this is not the Novus Corporation's only focus. As such through their subsidiaries Plasmic Applications and Aurora Gravitic they focus on the development and application of new plasma based technologies and interdiction technologies respectively.

As they continue their operations and look forward to the future, there is the possibility of the Novus Corporation expanding into other fields of business. Currently the Novus Corporation is debating on expanding into the vehicle production market; with strong desires to expand into the mining industry to secure a straight to factory supply. Furthermore they are also interested in possible weapon production, though it is unknown if they would limit this as a strictly private sector or military application production line.

Rationale:
Aethon Titos does not directly own the Novus Corporation, nor does he directly head it. Rather it operates in a form more akin to a steward keeping a throne. In this way it ensures that only those whose ideals and beliefs align with the ideals and beliefs of the Novus Corporation; is the one that heads the company. As such the position is gained more through a means of election, in which members of the Company as a whole vote for those whom they believe not only have the best interest for the company at mind; though also the best interest of their consumers at mind.

Tier:
Novus Corporation is currently a Tier Three organization; however they have high aspirations for the future, and as such they are looking towards that future as they operate in the present to further elevate the Company. Their ultimate goal is to reach for and gain the glory and fortune that those before them have attained and take their place in the Galaxy as a Tier Four Corporation.

Description:
General Operations and Behavior:
The Novus Corporation is a generally benevolent entity that focuses on the production of vessels, while utilizing their subsidiaries to research and develop new technologies and applications in the fields of interdiction technology and the uses of and development of plasma technologies. Focusing on developing a more symbiotic partnership with their consumer base, they see no need in the absolute grinding of their workers and holdings for the production of credits. Rather they ensure employee loyalty through the use of health benefits, vacations and bonuses.

Likewise they treat those they are in business with the same. Providing numerous bulk discounts and prototypes to test to create a symbiotic partnership which would allow for both parties to thrive. As such they are more focused on a consumer based strategy to bring back old customers and bring in new ones.

While the majority of their products are developed for a military use or for use in a private sector, they do cater to some civilian products. Likewise they are open to, and will take on some custom orders; however they only take a limited amount of custom orders at a single time. This decision aids the Novus Corporation in making them a desired producer, as well as unique in that they limit the amount of custom orders that they take. This is done so to ensure that more consumers are driven into their arms.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security Forces and Personnel:
With the Novus Corporation operating within the Omega Protectorate it has no need for large corporate armies as other Corporations apparently deem needed. Rather, they instead focus on the fielding and equipping of a minor core security force and small, yet powerful defense fleet. These are utilized for the sole purpose of defending the holdings of the Novus Corporation as well as high ranking individuals within the company, which at times includes an individual's immediate family.

For the most part the Novus Corporation contracts out the bulk of their security needs through Omega Prye. They choose this option as it is the most economically sound option. Rather than spending massive amounts of credits on the equipping, training and fielding of a large corporate army; organic or otherwise, they save credits by hiring on mercenaries on a case by case basis. This action is also chosen as a means to further ingrain the Novus Corporation with the Omega Protectorate to create a more symbiotic partnership that would benefit both parties in future transactions.

Subsidiaries of the Novus Corporation:

Plasmic Applications

Organizational Information:
Headquarters:

  • Naboo

Locations:

Operations :
Plasmic Applications focuses on the possible applications beyond those currently in use that require the exported plasma that is harvest on Naboo. As such they focus on newer means to harness and apply the energy of the plasma in new applications. Currently they focus on small scale applications; both with non-lethal and lethal means. Their primary focus is to use the plasma in the creation of and to generate the necessary power for a new type of shield generator which is still under development. Furthermore Plasmic Applications is searching for new means to generate power more efficiently; including the creation of more safe and cheap power generators that are easily obtainable by struggling farmers or other sentient individuals that are not as well off.

Tier:
​ Currently a Tier Two company under the guidance of the Novus Corporation; Plasmic Applications sees its future tied with the success of its parent company. As such their ultimate goal is to not only provide cheaper, easily obtainable power sources to the Outer Rim, they also strive to climb to the next Tier and become a Tier Three Corporation with much more pull and power to make changes than they currently have.


Description:
From the outside and the inside, Plasmic Applications looks more like a Research Laboratory with a Grant than an actual company. However this is primarily due in part to their operation and the exact nature of the company at heart. Plasmic Applications is focused on the development of new applications that utilize the plasma that is mined on Naboo by both its native inhabitants the Gungans and the human Naboo that settled on the world. To this end their primary focus is the research and understanding of the properties of the plasma and its capabilities.

As such it is the Novus Corporation that funds the bulk of this Research into new technologies and applications that the plasma can be used for. Furthermore it is the Novus Corporation that is the largest purchaser of the goods produced by Plasmic Applications in the way of power generators, power packs and cells. However, Plasmic Applications also does business with farmers on many Outer Rim worlds by providing clean and affordable power generators that run more efficiently than other traditional Outer Rim generators.

Furthermore Plasmic Applications focuses their research and development away from weapons development. Rather they produce power generators and shield technologies. This has given Plasmic Applications a more benevolent appearance; likewise due to their strict business terms and whom they choose to deal with. While this may prevent them from interacting with a handful of possible benefactors, the company itself focuses on those that lack unsavory backgrounds, operations or individuals within their midst.



Aurora Gravitic

Organizational Information:
Headquarters:

  • Sluis Van

Locations:

Operations :
With a primary focus on Interdiction technologies, Aurora Gravitic is at the forefront on the development and production of Interdiction technologies and applications. Their goal is the production of Interdiction technology that is both fully operational, as well as easily produced in both terms of cost and time. As such their work is focused on the development and production of cost efficient Interdiction technologies, as well as the conception of newer technologies that are more powerful, more compact and more energy efficient compared to the current models of Interdiction based technologies.

Tier:
​ A bright future ahead is what awaits this currently Tier Two Company. As they are guided by their parent company, the Novus Corporation; Aurora Gravity has high aspirations to become a Tier Three Corporation. As such they look towards their products and designs to carry them into this bright future and aid in their expansion.


Description:
While not as strictly discerning as Plasmic Applications; Aurora Gravitic is none the less focused on their own means of business. As such their primary market is the selling of their interdiction technology to their parent company the Novus Corporation, while also providing deals for their products to the Omega Protectorate. However they are careful; as Aurora Gravitic has a tendency to offer their products in side deals, though they also ensure that those they are dealing with are not, nor will become an enemy or desire to see or cause any harm to the Omega Protectorate.

Likewise they hold a great deal of respect for the Omega Protectorate, and as such they go to great lengths to ensure that none of their technology would ever fall into the wrong hands or those hands that would do harm to the Omega Protectorate. This loyalty goes so far as Aurora Gravitic installing kill commands in their products to ensure that they can be shut down if they are being used against the Omega Protectorate or their forces.

History of the Novus Corporation:
The Novus Corporation was founded in an era of uncertainty. First appearing in the galaxy during the Post-Gulag Plague, the Novus Corporation provided a service for neighboring worlds. They began as a minor starfighter producer, selling durable, reliable and cost efficient fighters to worlds that were being preyed on by pirates. This tactic of looking after their customers by offering free maintenance and upgrades during these earlier years when Governments were quickly rising and falling in the post Gulag Era ensured their future for the years to come.

Rising from these humble beginnings, the Novus Corporation continued this practice even when they began to develop, deploy and produce larger vessels. Their continued business practice brought more and more consumers to their door step as they began to produce and sell to more and more worlds. It was during this time that they made the decision to remain neutral and shied away from the Republic purposefully. This was done to prevent the Novus Corporation from being infiltrated in the earlier years by those that were corrupted and would have raised prices to staggering amounts just to bleed worlds dry of their credits.

Their continued neutrality ensures that the Novus Corporation would remain a conscious objector against criminal business practices like price gouging, bait and switches and purposefully keeping products faulty and damaged to push up maintenance prices and rates. With their stance being made public, the Novus Corporation would find itself a target by pirates and other companies, though their previous connections and dealings with worlds ensured their survival and security against those that began to target the Corporation.

In more recent years they have taken a stance and aligned themselves more closely to the Omega Protectorate. With this transition they have also seen the establishment of Aurora Gravitic and Plasmic Applications. Their continued desire to see to the safety of others and provide cheap, durable and reliable products to these individuals is what continues to aid in the Novus Corporation's growth.
