Talos-II General Chamber of Commerce

The Talos-II General Chamber of Commerce (TGCC), nicknamed the Cartel, is a faction on Talos-II.

Overview

“	The TGCC is the most influential corporate conglomerate of Talos-II. TGCC members cover every sector of manufacturing and services, ranging from leading arms manufacturers from the Age of Terra to food catering franchises with stores deep in the frontier. During the First Aggeloi War, the TGCC was in charge of maintaining the Talos-Terra lifeline. Now that the war has ended, truck convoys stranded in the alien world continued to roar across the roads, making commercial economies, messenger-based courier services, and modern lifestyles possible in Talos-II. With hands tightly gripped around the steering wheel, the truckers cruised across the lands with headlights blazing, carrying containers filled with supplies and resources to link the growing camps, villages, and towns upon the new world. Though the industrial giants of Old Terra remain a dominant force, the truckers who earned the trust and respect of the Talosians during the war became masters of their own destiny. And thus they transformed into the Conductors steering the great wheel of the TGCC. To date, the upper echelons of the TGCC prefer to call themselves the shadow investors and proprietors of the Civilization Band. They love the quarterly financial reports and annual meetings with their shareholders as well as the splendorous beauty of the great cosmopolis. TGCC leaders believe the Practice they codified is sufficient in defining the present and future of Talos-II. Such confidence was essential for helping humanity endure their darkest hour, but people often forget how addictive it could be.	”
