DESCRIPTION

"Offworld is one of the oldest and richest mining companies in the galaxy. And they didn't get that way by letting others compete with them. Miners who get in their way tend to die."―Clat'Ha to Obi-Wan

Once a galactic powerhouse during the era of the Galactic Republic and Clone Wars, the Offworld Mining Corporation (OMC) had long since fallen into relative obscurity, eclipsed by more politically connected conglomerates. But under new leadership, that has changed. In 902 ABY, the megacorporation was quietly acquired by Vortigern Tagge , a member of the ancient and aristocratic House of Tagge in a calculated bid to diversify and expand his already formidable economic portfolio.

Since then, the company has undergone a ruthless transformation. Now operating under a leaner, profit-obsessed hierarchy, OMC has returned to its roots: extracting maximum value from the galaxy's most mineral-rich and lawless frontiers. The company prioritizes deep-core strip mining, orbital excavation, and long-range refining operations, with minimal oversight and little regard for local ecologies or native populations.

It maintains a predatory reputation, using private security contractors, bribery, and corporate espionage to protect its interests. OMC accepts private contracts, particularly those seeking discreet, large-scale resource extraction where plausible deniability is paramount.

Nominally unaffiliated with any galactic government, OMC operates as a neutral, for-profit entity, often dealing with planetary regimes, warlords, syndicates, and megacorps alike. Its public face is one of logistical professionalism but behind closed doors, OMC is willing to grind entire moons into slag if it means keeping shareholders pleased and rivals desperate. In a galaxy increasingly ruled by power blocs, the Offworld Mining Corporation is a quiet leviathan the faceless drill boring straight to a world's bleeding core.

RATIONALE

Vortigern Tagge came into possession of the Offworld Mining Corporation through a mix of financial predation, insider manipulation, and calculated timing. The company, already weakened by centuries of mismanagement and lack of political allies, was vulnerable when a manipulated downturn in durasteel futures sent its remaining stockholders into a panic. Tagge's shell companies swept in, buying controlling shares at a fraction of their true value.

Through a maze of blind trusts and front organizations, Vortigern orchestrated a silent takeover, revealing himself only once control was absolute. His justification was simple: to make OMC a cornerstone in his vision of neo-industrial galactic dominance. He sees mining not only as a foundation for wealth but as a mechanism of control after all, every war machine, palace, and datapad begins with ore.
