Faction View:
Turpis Heavy Industries is a leading producer of large weapons and parts that go into making the enormous capital ships and freighters frequently seen throughout the Sirius sector. Faction players will spend most of their time transporting ship hull parts and other machinery required for the production of massive space faring vessels between liberty and Bretonia. They will also move Military Vehicles used in the War against Rhineland shipped directly to the front. The company will be based out of Liberty, possibly in the New York system. This faction will be highly corrupt in as many ways as it can be in this game. Underhanded deals with pirates, and other nations, selling weapons to terrorist and anyone else who is willing to pay. THI likes to smuggle goods into nations that are at war with Liberty but have it done under the radar. Paying off cops that interfere and hiring gunmen to assassinate them if they refuse. While this is going on it will attempt to fain a clean slate and honest morals, an outstanding company that cares about the people.
BACKGROUND:
Turpis Heavy industries was formed early on in the beginning of the 80 year war.
A group of Entrepreneurs saw a way to make profit by building large ships and hauling the massive parts required to build them to the waring houses. For many years their ships and shipyards cranked out vessels on all sides of the war. It wasn't until the late Vice Admiral Pellengahr of the Rhineland Navy noticed similarities between damaged Rhineland ships and GMG ships. With charges of war profiteering taking the fledgling company to court and obliterating nearly all profits made during this time THI and it's name sank into obscurity. It wasn't until many years later in 780 A.S. when the company reemerged with an unknown and highly vague funder. Where the company got it's financial boost is still unclear, but it used it's new found power to establish a home base in Liberty and dispatch trader ships across the system. With the constant threat of war between Liberty and Rhineland government officials have kept their noses out of THI's financial background to ensure their influx of Capital ships and parts remains varied and not reliant on one company. Turpis has also moved to close in on the construction and transportation of Military vehicles, Walkers, Tanks, and other ground based armored fighting machines.
GOAL:
Turpis Heavy Industries new Board of Directors is comprised of ruthless and efficient captains of industry. Men who have risen to their ranks by bending, twisting, and inverting all the rules others live by. Their hunger for profit goes unquenched, and their is nothing they wouldn't do to make a few extra credits. Many have noted that like clockworked since the company emerged again it's quarterly has increased at a steady 10% although on paper this doesn't seem possible. Many speculations to how that occurs have given the company a bad rep with other Sirius Corporations. THI is out for profit, and they are matched with the tenacity of any terrorist or pirate organization. The only difference is they have a highly paid team of lawyers to clear their name when they make mistakes.
