Stellar
Stellar is a massive Transnational corporation that acts as a gateway to interstellar markets for Earth based corporations, and is indispensable in all aspects of life in space.
Everything, Everywhere.
The goal is in their name. Stellar, by many metrics, is the single largest corporation, with products and ownership spread all over human space. Through strategic licensing agreements and providing ownership shares to earth corporations, Stellar has a massive catalogue of products and services across all industries that can be provided to nearly anyone, nearly anywhere in human space.
History
Stellar has its roots in various north American aerospace companies of the 2080s as space infrastructure was being setup for the first SLE systems. At the time the population who lived and worked in space was expanding far beyond the handful of scientists and engineers that occupied space during mankind's early journeys. These people wanted luxury goods, and giving a personal space allotment on launch for luxury goods was simply not enough however sending these supplies instead of the essential life support systems was prohibitively expensive.
In 2090, The Union Launch Alliance spun off its luxury goods transport section into its own company. This group would partner with financial firms and be rebranded as Stellar. Using long term loans backed by the resources being slow-traveled back to earth from space would let this company sell expensive launch space for luxury goods to consumers in space immediately using money they would otherwise have to wait possibly decades for.
Stellar would then purchase IP rights from earth-based companies to sell their products in space in exchange for ownership shares in the company. This would greatly expand their product offerings and increasingly let them get buy in from companies that would otherwise be their competitors. Specific market sectors would be targeted by spinning off subsidiary divisions, and the primary company would specifically handle relations between governments and other corporations.
Organization
Unlike many corporations, Stellar does not have a majority owner, with no single organization holding more than ~15% of the company.
This is in part due to Stellar's preference to issue new ownership shares of the company in order to secure the support of earth based corporations, often with an agreement that Stellar will not pursue competing offerings and avoid selling competing products. This has resulted in many companies having part ownership of Stellar, as well as many subsidiary companies beholden to the overall Stellar leadership structure.
Board meetings for Stellar are elaborate affairs with many interests represented, and the large amount of money at hand makes them highly competitive.
