The Mercantile and Commerce Division, or MNCD, is the largest and most active meta-division of Synth Foods' growing corporate conglomerate. Responsible for the totality of logistics, including shipping, delivery, distribution, and production, as well as the maintenance of a large, highly specialized transport fleet, they are the breadwinners of Synth Foods' ever-expanding operations. They also include the HemiSphere Laboratories sub-division, responsible for the design and construction of Synth Foods' proprietary BioDome products to installations across Sirius, and are also responsible for training their crews in use of said technology. Finally, many of the company's accountant staff, legal team, human resources, and agricultural oversight are grouped under this division, although they are awarded far more autonomy than first gleaned.

Corporate Direct Enforcement Division, or C-DED, is responsible primarily for the security and defense of Synth Foods' installations and production facilities, both from common criminals and farmer movement revolutionaries, as well as the space-borne defense of the MNCD's many convoys and shipping distribution platforms. The C-DED primarily hires out of work bounty hunters and retired police and military pilots, while also incorporating part of Stuttgart's home defense militia in the protection and monitoring of Synth Foods' large food production centers on the planet. It is rumored that a highly secretive section of the C-DED is tasked with conducting corporate espionage, hiring pirates to hound Samura and Hogosha transports, and devise ways of damaging the local market economies of Kusari and Bretonia.

The Board of Executives is the group of management officials responsible for the totality of executive decisions made by the company at large. Their salaries are large, their responsibilities larger - but their Chief Executive Officer, Gregory Dawson, is determined to bring the ailing company into a new era of expansion and development.

Sharecroppers are the bulk of the MNCD - the nickname for transport captains, using loaned vessels, mainly bulk haulers, to transport Synth Foods products in return for a paltry salary - they're the lifeblood of the entire operation, and those who dedicate themselves might find a letter from the Executives in their neural-net inbox before too long.

Freighter Captains are the veterans of the MNCD - running convoys, analyzing logistics, and organizing the bulk of the MNCD in order to complete the Executive's objectives and priorities. The cream of the crop, they're a highly important asset to the Synth Foods conglomerate.

The vast majority of the C-DED's manpower comes from their Security Officers, in both their land and space-borne variants. Usually ex-police or navy, these officers are incredibly efficient at their job - after the disasters directly before the Nomad War, the C-DED ensures that no Synth Foods transport will ever come under fire and not live to tell the tale.

It is largely unknown what the exact purpose the Corporate Affairs Officers serve. They are few in number, and their officially stated purpose is "to conduct internal affairs investigations and ensure the sanctity of Synth Foods' operations remains intact." Regardless of their objective, they are seemingly selected from the top echelons of the Security teams, or sometimes recruited from intelligence organizations and paramilitaries.

Following the redistribution of power after Gregory Dawson's rise to the Chief Executive Officer position, the Board of Executives was simplified, along with the divisions as a whole, to streamline operations whilst preserving effectiveness and responsibility distribution. With that in mind, the responsibilities of the Chief Financial Officer and Recruitment Chief fall upon the Chief of Operations, as well as managing the day-to-day operations of the Synth Foods conglomerate. The man or woman working in this position is, effectively, the second-in-command of Synth Foods operations. The interim Chief of Operations is Jay Stevens, the former CEO of Synth Foods, although it is rumoured that the new CEO, Gregory Dawson, is searching for a replacement.

Power and executive decision within the Synth Foods Board has been congregated under Gregory Dawson's re-distribution, and this has been seen in no greater effect than the position of Chief Executive Officer. He holds the final say on all executive decisions that the company makes, although he regularly consults with his Chief of Operations and the shareholders. The current Chief Executive Officer is Gregory Dawson.
