Quoted By:
The <span class="mu-s">Galax Mining Corporation</span> is one of the largest interstellar companies in the Consortium; directly purchasing and leasing planets, moons, and other celestial objects for the purposes of mining and refining raw materials. Due to the large number of space habitats, industrialized cities, and consumer goods and spaceflight- raw metals, silicates, and radioactive materials are always in high demand in the Consortium. The Galax mining corporation however is notable for their patented method of mining and refining Azurium ore, a rare and only recently discovered resource brought to the Consortium species by collaborations with the Esaal Miltiary-Empire. The value of Azurium is so great that the company rebranded its logo and name to be always printed in its color- a deep Azurium blue.
The discovery of Azurium has brought the entire Consortium into a sort of gold-rush; seeking any source of that blue treasure. For its uses in security, megastructure building, and top end consumer electronics- it has become a very valuable commodity. Rare Azurium is unusable by normal metallurgic methods; requiring advanced magnetic forges to be reshaped, and the Galax mining coporation also loans out the technology to other companies at extremely high rates. This has raised concerns in the Consortium's consumer and business fairness councils over the monopoly in all but name that the Galax corp. owns over the Azurium trade, but given how closely the government works with the corporation and its immeasurable profits- as well as hand-in-hand justification of constant expansion, means this is unlikely to change in the near future. After all- without Galax, this technology would be completely inaccessible for all but the largest corporate entities.
Due to the Consortium's constant dedication to uplifting and joining newly found alien races to its capital and social systems; any world found with Azurium reserves with an intelligent native species quickly becomes a target for criticism of colonialism and exploitation. The Consortium is adamant however in allowing these hostile takeovers- as in more then one occasion ancient repressive religions, cruel dictatorships, and intelligent species suffering in a pre-industrial state from natural woes have all been freed and added to the greatest, prosperous, and more equal society in the entire galaxy!
