## Summary
Corporations are massive multinational/multi-planetary conglomerates that wield the power of small nations. Commerce across human space is almost entirely dependent upon these companies. Many of which have existed for hundreds of years or more.
## History
More than 1500 years ago, the corporations began consolidating from family run companies, trade guilds, and diversified commerce groups. As the governments grew in power, they felt threatened by the attempts at regulating their trade and commercial reach. In response, these companies and organizations created massive conglomerates which could hold tremendous sway over the trade and economies of the Aresian nations.
In the [[Saigatani Federation]], these comprised the [[Hane|Haneda]]. Large dynastic companies who controlled everything from research and development to manufacturing and distribution. Similar to a melding of the Zaibatsus and Keiretsus of Earth.
In the [[United Republic Of Mercaulis]], these grew out of the Trade Guilds which controlled commerce across the [[Valcaeus]] continent.
Elsewhere, Independent trade groups and previously diversified companies merged into the modern corporate juggernauts.
Regardless of their origins, they are collectively known as *Corporations* in the modern era. However, some corporations still associate themselves with their [[Hane]] and [[Traghil]] roots.
The [[Cartel]] was formed in 1549 PC to arbitrate between them. A few corporations are directly related to the Cartel itself, having been created under its purview.
