Background:
Bretonian Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) is one of the largest commercial corporations in Bretonia. It operates a network of semi-autonomous operations that range throughout Bretonian space. Since the company's creation, BMM has been known for producing high quality materials and profit-margins. However, these financial successes have not come at a cheap cost. BMM is constantly assailed by pirates and other wrongdoers, including the Corsairs and the Gaians. The most important and dangerous opponent to BMM's interests are the Mollys.
The Mollys' obsession with BMM's destruction brewed from the company's oppressive attitude towards its workers aboard its mining stations. In 752 AS, the Founders Day Revolt, as it came to be known, formed the Mollies. The workers mutinied, executed Graves and his compatriots, and took control of the mining ships Endeavor and Glorious. Whilst the Bretonian Armed Forces response was swift and deadly, the remaining Mollys held up in the system's many asteroid fields. After fighting the Armed Forces to a standstill, using guerrilla tactics, the Mollies started to use their power to attack Bretonian corporations; with their main target being BMM.
BMM has many mining and commercial operations all over Bretonia and beyond, including Douglas Station, Graves Station, Stokes Mining Station and more. These stationary mining stations are supplemented by a large fleet of Mining craft, designed for scouting out new fields, conducting tests and mining on a small-scale.
BMM also concerns themselves with the production of goods and ships, for civilians and the Bretonian Armed Forces. Southampton Shipyard is the sole producer of Bretonian warships and fighter craft. BMM was one of the major partners with Ageira in the design and production of the Havoc II Bomber. This craft, commonly seen in Liberty space on Liberty Navy patrols, is sometimes used by specialist BMM escorts and defenders.
BMM is considered the instigator of the brutal Kusari-Bretonia war in the Tau systems, due to its aggressive nature towards the IMG and Kusari corporations in Tau 23 and Tau 29 respectively. The IMG, another case of dissatisfied workers, beat BMM to the mineral-laden Tau 23 system, by using risky jump holes. BMM, thinking they had time, started the construction of the Tau 31-Tau 23 Jump Gate and trade lane system with Deep Space Engineering. The Jump Gate's production has been postponed, due to the current political situation in the Tau systems. BMM however, still maintains their construction site in Tau 23, which is constantly attacked by Outcasts and Independent Miners Guild patrols.
BMM has grown from a government-subsidized company, to an extremely influencial and powerful corporation with many different commercial interests over Bretonia, the Taus and the Omega systems. Ever since the early days, employees have mined and constructed, albeit under harsh working conditions, to make BMM what it is today. Under new guidance, from a new leadership team, Bretonian Mining and Metals will become one of the most powerful and influential corporation in all of Sirius.
Bases:
Thames Outpost, New London, is populated almost exclusively by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) staff and workers. The Bretonia Armed Forces also keeps a small presence aboard in an effort to maintain a measure of security in the face of possible raids by pirates or criminal groups such as the Mollys. While the outpost itself has little strategic importance, it does have a significant amount of valuable resources that are constantly transferred between storage bays and transports.
Graves Station, Dublin, is entirely owned by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) and produces the bulk of all Gold mined in the colony. A contingent from the Bretonia Police Authority is also stationed aboard to provide security against mounting attacks by the Mollys.
Stokes Mining Station, Leeds, run by Bretonia Mining (BMM), is the largest orbital facility in all of Bretonia and has operated continuously for centuries. Aside from BMM, representatives from Kusari shipping companies are also present, negotiating for the basic materials required to fuel their own industries.
Birmingham Station, Manchester, is a sizeable ice processing facility run by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM). Frozen Methane, CO2, and Hydrocarbons are mined from the nearby ice asteroid fields, processed, and stored until transported to their ultimate destination in Bretonia or Liberty. As a byproduct of processing Hydrocarbons into Polymers, Birmingham also produces substantial quantities of Oxygen, which are often sold to terraforming operations in the California system.
The Southampton Shipyards, New London, are a massive assemblage of floating steel where most of the Bretonian naval fleet is constructed. The yard is organized around an enormous structure known by most employees as "The Bridge." The Bridge is a well recognized object of pride for most Bretonians, symbolizing the brilliance and dedication of the Bretonian people. Though Southampton is largely controlled by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) and the Bretonia Armed Forces, it is frequented by almost anybody who has business in New London space.
Douglas Station, Omega 3, is owned and operated by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing (BMM) for the manufacturing of Polymers using the abundant raw materials in the system. Security around the facility is abnormally high due to frequent skirmishes with Corsairs.
Tag and ID:
Name tag: BMM-
NPC affiliation: BMM
ID: Bretonia Mining and Metals
Example for Miner/Shipper: BMM-London(T)
Example For Escorter: BMM-William.Roberts(E)
Traders are named after cities in England
While Escorts are named after the pilot.
Goals:
-To raise company profits.
-To increase mining operations in Omega 3, Dublin and Manchester
-To expand further into Tau space, by completing the construction of the Tau 31-Tau 23 Jump Gate.
-To expand into Omega 7 and Omega 11, increasing company profits by exploring new mineral markets (diamonds, silver and copper).
-To oust the Independent Miners Guild from Bretonian space. Those dissidents are a disgrace on the Queen's nation (and to the company's image).
Everyday Activities:
Pilots employed by Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing mostly conduct mining operations, base-security duties and small-time shipping.
While the majority of the BMM mining operations exist from the Douglas, Birmingham and Graves Stations, the company makes use of small Mining ships. These small Miners scout out new, resource-rich areas and conduct small-time mining duties. The goods are then either shipped out via Bowex or BMM transports.
The base-defense and convoy escort divisions were created to defend the vital interests of Bretonia Mining and Manufacturing. Base-defense is often carried out by automated weapon platforms, however the company makes use of fighter pilots to defend installations from pirate attacks. Convoys are defended primarily by able fighter pilots, who tie up pirates until the transports have escaped the ambush.
The shipping section of BMM focuses on the secure trade of raw materials, such as Polymers, Beryllium, Hydrocarbons and Gold. These are shipped to and from Bretonia, often to stations in Liberty. Sometimes, shipments are taken to Rheinland. This is infrequent however, due to the political tensions between the Rheinland and Bretonian governments. No goods are traded to Kusari space, due to the war that exists between Kusari and Bretonia.

You guys have worked your heart off on this, it seems. Nicely written, i see no problems with whats put on paper here. Best of luck, may end up joining if this gets the go ahead
BMM - Dusty Lens - 06-21-2008
I believe it warrants mentioning that I came across on BMM-Bristol(T) not too long ago, who had such a kung-fu grip on arpee ninjahood and his faction as to cause me to actually go out of my way to look up the faction proposal in order to applaud it.
BMM - Shadow2336 - 06-21-2008
Heh.
Why, thank you, Dusty.
BMM - Oniros - 06-21-2008
Starting to see few BMM in bretonia. Look good so far.
Two details
1) For the Rookie rank : remove the Percheron which is an medium size transport and allow him only for transport captain rank.
Allow the Heavy Lifter for rookie miner instead of the Percheron.
Thus a ship with a better cargo size will simulate the advancement inside BMM.
2) What is your callsign codification ? Because, i saw trade ships with a town name with or without (T) and some ships with a callsign : firstname.lastname without (T or E). What should be a Miner callsign ? first.lastname or a ship name linked to a town/city/region with (M)
Last idea to glue BMM. Try to organize in-Game (or at least the forum) Meetings where BMM agents heard CEO/board of directors present their economical goals and the result of the week/month. I'm thinking also about something Zigeris made around stock exchange. Very orginal and always in a RP perspective to come close to the "real" management of a large company. A good employe is someone who is implicated, can see the result of his own work as part of the succes of his company -"Culture d'entreprise" as we say over here.
PS : The Griffin is also sold on Cape Verde, zoner base in Omega 52 but... home system of the SCRA, isn't it ?
