Happy Halloween!

Space Ghost sez:  Happy Halloween!

         This will be my last post before the Vesperides goes on sale, and my little boy turns five.  I hope all of you have a safe and happy weekend.

Moving Forward

More Eye-Candy.

         Work continues getting the Vesperides ready for publication.  It's gonna be a busy few days for me.  Some of you may remember from last year that my older boy's birthday is on Halloween, and we have costume parties and other festivities all weekend long.  That being said, I should still have the Vesperides ready to go on Tuesday. 
         In addition, I have already begun working on The Black Desert Primer and will most next Wednesday about the project, so you RocketFans will have a chance to request info that you'd like included in the book.  The same will go for all Core Rules Supplements;  I'm writing this for you guys, so by all means let me know what you want to see.

New Organization: The Trinity Group

         The Trinity Group is a multi-national corporation with extensive influence on and around Terra.  The company's main focus is acquiring transportation rights for orbital and interplanetary travel from governments and in the Terra/Luna sphere of influence.  Their corporate lobby is extensive in the United American and Canadian States, where they now handle the majority of shipping.  Privately operated shipping concerns now find themselves mired in layers of red tape as the policies and laws of UACS reflect the desires of The Trinity Group's business strategy.  This trend is now being seen in the mega-states as well, including Brazil and the EurAfrica.
       Off world, many Lunar holdings are either directly or indirectly under the control of The Trinity Group, as well as the Asteroid mining facilities at the Terra/Luna La Grange Points.  While ostensibly relieving beleaguered polities of the need to use taxpayer's funds to run these facilities, the reality is that The Trinity Group runs these colonies for profit at their citizen's expense and still receives many kick-backs and other consideration's from their government contracts. 
       The only non-political entity in the position to challenge The Trinity Group's expansion is the Aerospace Transport Authority.  As an altruistic, non-profit organization, AsTrA's corporate philosophy and mandate is at odds with The Trinity Group's pursuit of profit.  That being said, AsTrA lacks The Trinity Group's influence on Terra and Luna, and for now can only try to block the corporation's expansion to Mars and the rest of The Black Desert.
