Reastirlao
The number two megacorporation
in Aslan space is Reastirlao,
an
independent corporation having grown from a small trading company that
served parts of Hlakhoi sector.
During the Yerlyaruiwo-Tralyeaeawi
war (3077 to 3167 Aslan, 614 to
693
Imperial), Reastirlao
provided transport support to Tralyeaeawi and reaped
large profits. During the war, the company also established many
trading
bases (often displacing existing bases belonging to Yerlyaruiwo clan's
Tlasayerlahel); when the
war ended, Reastirlao was positioned to retain those bases and to build
on the foundation they had created. By around 3403 Aslan (900
Imperial),
the company had attained megacorporate status with trading bases in all
of the Hierate's
sectors.
Reastirlao has retained its independence by prohibiting
marriage by its higher level managers. Its female managers thus
cannot
be influenced by the male leaders of various clans. Successful
managers
are rewarded with large cash settlements when they leave the company,
and
many of the managers pursue marriage and family after their careers
with
the company are over.
Besides its merchant operations, Reastirlao maintains
a base of heavy industry in Hlakhoi and Ealiyasiyw sectors, and its
product
mix includes starships,
machine tools, and construction materials.
