!Centauri Conglomerate [cent-logo200x200.jpg] !!Background Formed from the original exploration companies that exploited the first colonies on Alpha Centauri, the original companies, Mizu Zaibatsu, NASA Corp and Solartech have now disappeared as separate entities, but their corporate philosophies have remained in the political life of the Conglomerate. The Centauri are very commercially minded and strong believers in small government and the supremacy of market forces. They understand the need for interstellar cooperation, especially since the Exterminator Threat had a serious impact on trade and commerce. However, the Conglomerate has few executive powers over it’s own polity – so there are practical limits to what it can sign up to. As a result Centauri Fleets are separate private enterprise-owned entities. The force level and composition is not usually set by the Government other than in the Schedule of Requirements in the Fleet Operating Contracts - which generally outlines the mission rather than specific force composition. , and they are astrographically limited. Under this system the Conglomerate cannot easily move fleets from one quadrant to another – this would require a complex series of new contracts. In addition, it is a matter of firm policy that each quadrant be economically self-sufficient. The Centauri will never transfer resources to bail out a quadrant that is in deficit. However, as befits a trading nation, limitations such as those above do not restrict haggling and negotiating or even being economical with the truth if it will benefit the shareholders. The government is also keen to maximise economic opportunities for Centauri corporations. It will try to ensure that Centauri worlds host major conferences, establishments or events, bringing in business and foreign exchange. !!Quadrant 0 !!!Civilian Leadership Chief Executive and Chair of the Centauri Democratic Board: **Conrad White** (3199 to 3229), **Marcella Bich** (3229- present) Deputy Chief Executive and Finance Director: **Marcella Bich** (3195-3229) **Jia Guanting** (3229-present) Finance Director: **Ibrahim Ba Suwaydan** (3229-present) Chief Operating Officer: **Ibrahim Ba Suwaydan** (3206-3229) **Henrietta Palethorpe** (3229-present) Compliance Director (Head of the Office of the Regulator): **Camilla Olivetti** (3211-3229) **Enoch Zachariah Leeford** (3229-Present) Marketing and Corporate Relations Director: **Zurib Barelvi** (3215-present) **Fan Xinyi** (3229-present) Director of Security (Head of Office of Defence): **Feroze Gandhi** (3198-3215) **Fukumoto Otojiro** (3215-present) Director of Econint HQ: **Tokuji Hayakawa** (3212 to present) Director of MIND HQ: **Imra Ardeen** (3225-present) !!!Quadrant 0 Military Ops Director Fleet Defiance: **Otto Mønsted** Ops Director Fleet Partnership: **Martha Ballard** Ops Director Fleet Harmony: **Antonia Sinkel** !!Quadrant 4 !!!Civilian Leadership Chief Executive: **Elcon Myer** Compliance Director: **Carl Frederik Tietgen** Marketing and Corporate Relations Director: **Alessandra Darracq** !!!Quadrant 4 Military Ops Director Fleet Hope: **Rokk Krinn** Ops Director Fleet Champion: **Tinya Wazzo** !!Quadrant 7 Worlds: [New Mald], [Spud], [Carsh], [Croyd], [W1], [Makey], [Winner] (3175-3238 only) !!!Civilian Leadership Chief Executive: **Berthold Israel** (up to 3227) **Ellie Liberty** (from 3227-3236), **Role vacant** (3237-3238), Temporary CEO **Halvek Drayn** (3238- ) Compliance Director: **Chubei Itoh** Marketing and Corporate Relations Director: **Louisa Tripp** !!!Quadrant 7 Military Ops Director Fleet Protector: **Garth Ranzz** Ops Director Fleet Safeguard: **Luornu Durgo** !!Quadrant 8 !!!Civilian Leadership Chief Executive: **Henriette Germain** Compliance Director: **Abraham Penhas** Marketing and Corporate Relations Director: **Joan Wanamaker** !!!Quadrant 8 Military Ops Director Fleet Merger: **Reep Daggle** Ops Director Fleet Affiliate: **Thom Kallor**
