 Alderaan Mining CorporationType: Production , Mining Founded On: Year 8 Day 47 Leader: Kast Derrnon Description: For years, the Alderaan Mining Corporation, an enterprise of the Derrnon family, existed as nothing more than a small business venture of a clan whose priorities lay chiefly in maintaining their longstanding tradition of political prominence in the region, receiving no more attention or thought than various other minor corporate investments and holdings attributed to them. Though known to virtually none outside of the immediate system, the company had always had some measure of success, as did the majority of their miscellaneous industries - bringing a number of circles within the family to advocate for the strong financial backing necessary to significantly expand all of their operations outward. In response, the conservative Derrnon patriarchs debated the issue before shortly dismissing the appeals. Citing a distaste for risk and a satisfaction with what had become a secure, centuries long practice of land acquisition coupled with rent collection, they argued that it was their landlordship that was what was overwhelmingly responsible for the family`s initial rise to the lofty heights of Alderaanian high-society. Defeated, yet privately devout in their beliefs, those factions seeking a greater corporate profile for the clan whole-heartedly abandoned their modest protests in order to rally resources and support around the candidacy of Kast, eldest of the collection of patriarchs` sons, whom following a short yet remarkable career as a Commodore in the Imperial Navy had been reportedly named on the Emperor`s list of possible appointments to the position of Moff of the Kuat Sector (now redrawn and delineated into the political units known as `Hallu` and `Kuat`). With the zealous, public championing by each Derrnon official in the Alderaanian legislature, coupled with the favor of His Imperial Majesty, Kast rose to the one of highest seats of authority in all of the galaxy and in doing so became the crowning achievement of an already storied political legacy. Throughout his tenure, his approach to administration was met with virtually universal praise as part of a culture of widespread support for the Charon regime and its firm, efficient, and tactful government. Following his retirement from office, Kast returned to private life as the venerated heir to the stewardship of the Derrnon clan. With the clout to assuage the concerns of the reactionary elders, he openly embraced once discarded ideals and stressed the immense potential for growth that lie in a policy of systematic, committed re-investment into each of their previously peripheral industries. Behind the unwavering support of his entire kin and its finances, Kast commenced this initiative by expanding the Alderaan Mining Corporation`s operating budget by five hundred percent and assuming direct control of the company - immediately elevating the much overlooked company`s status in the galactic consciousness. The firm now boasts a solid network of mines throughout known space, more than adequately helping to cater to the needs of an ever-expanding commercial sector and growing populace. |
