Stelltron Corporation
Stelltron Corporation was by an order of magnitude, the largest corporation in the Estra galaxy, providing a vast array of products and services. The majority of their business was interstellar trade and shipbuilding. Their shipyards supplied untold numbers of merchant ships and warships to the governments, businesses, and the renegades of Estra. They were not beyond cooperation with smugglers, pirates and other unsavory types if the compensation was right and the objectives furthered their regional goals. Their corporate management was mostly a variety of human and humanoid alien races. Naplians, Audrians, Terrans, and Maugham were among their corporate leaders. There were also many non-humanoid groups, including Vorare Carnis, Naaklik, and Rutak.
Stelltron was established in 1508 TSC (Terran Standard Calendar). The original incorporator and first CEO was Rogad Buchhlan, a Human capitalist who gained his fortune as the publisher of Solar Visions Digital Magazine in the province of Cavalin, Pythar Empire.
Commercial Military Production and Corporate Military Elements
Although well equipped with warships and military formations, Stelltron seldom engaged in open conflict, preferring to use economic and political coercion to attain their ends.
Stelltron's ground forces included heavy, medium and light infantry formations, orbital jump detachments, armored anti-gravity (grav) and armored walker fighting vehicles, aircraft/starcraft of every type and a starship fleet rivaled only by the other great trade houses and the larger empires. Stelltron black ops and special operations units are infamous for their efficiency and ruthlessness.
The Naplian Wars
The various subdivisions of the corporation profited handsomely from the Naplian Wars, most notably from sales of cybernetic technologies. Stelltron and the other great trade houses were the main trading partners of the empires of the Grand Alliance during the Naplian campaigns, and although not actually a member, they provided the means of war for much of the alliance. Stelltron maintained a keen interest in all AI, Cyborg and Fully Cybernetic research and production throughout the Naplian Wars.

STELLTRON CORPORATE MISSION STATEMENT
Stelltron’s roots are grounded in the work of the corporation’s first CEO, Roger Buchhlan. This visionary hero realized that technology needed to adapt as the human race expanded to the stars. That initial wisdom has guided us and has given us the insight to adjust to tremendous changes. We want to assure the general public, but most especially our shareholders, that Stelltron will continue to maintain that insight and adaptability as we move forward in these exciting times.
Inspiring our Corporate Purpose
Serving the needs of the myriad human and alien civilizations of Estra is our primary concern. Our experts have built control systems for human (or other biological) operation, and we are prepared to make them available to colonies and communities at reasonable trade value.
Many communities have been isolated for too long, and Stelltron has the vision and expertise to help them reach out across the interstellar distances. We are developing superior communications systems that will enable real-time communication across light-year distances. We call upon the governments of starsystems to let us know of their needs, for we want to develop the means for all peoples to connect across the galaxy.
If anyone doubts our commitment to all sentients, we invite them to visit our Biological Preservations Laboratories, located on-planet Ariana Prime within our corporate territories. We are devoting ourselves to creating the most thorough base of information on all living species so that we may better serve them in all our divisions. We are aware that tools and equipment designed for the human species are not always physically useful to other species. Our engineers are working to adapt the available tools and technologies to non-human races. We must all work together on this.
Even though our employees are predominantly human, we do not wish to make the mistake of failing to value the other cultures and species of Estra. As part of our desire to serve all, we have instituted recruitment protocols for minority non-human races. We hope that these recruits will bring their vision and their experience to Stelltron, to inspire us to even more significant achievements.
Our new Biologic Recruitment Program will lift deserving participants into the heart of Stelltron operations. In exchange for their insights and inspiration in matters of technology and cultural advancement, the participants will receive full board in our Luxury Development Center. Their innovations will be shared in turn with their home-worlds, improving the lives of those they have left behind.
These exciting possibilities are only the beginning of Stelltron’s drive toward improved trading options for all systems. We believe that trade is the life-blood of all societies. The ability to connect with each other should be a driving motivation for all our clients and customers, as well as every employee and executive of Stelltron.

Designing the Future
Creating a new future for the human race (and others) takes considerable mental energy and vision. But we believe that this new future is possible for those brave enough to step up and join us. We think that there are three crucial areas of development that better the lives of all citizens in all galactic communities. Those areas are transportation, communication, and data storage.
Transportation
Creating control systems operated by biologicals that are reliable in deep space and trans-light conditions has been a great challenge for Stelltron. But recent developments have given us hope that we are on the verge of a new era of space travel, with easy-to-run guidance systems. Additionally, keeping in mind the difficulties that other races had with human-created devices, we are creating comparable systems that can be operated by others.
We are also working on developing adequate vehicles that can perform various duties. Ships designed for cargo transport are not necessarily ideal for personnel transport. The discomforts of interstellar travel are such that we want to create the very best conditions for both purposes.
Communications
The importance of rapid communication is paramount in building a safe, viable future for all concerned. When messages cannot cross interstellar distances faster than ships themselves travel, there is no way to prepare for unexpected events, from pirate raids or military maneuvers to news of disasters. Stelltron has successfully developed supra-light communications which are reliable, and affordable.
Data Storage
The collection, storage, and general access to reliable data and records are of crucial importance to the stability of any society. Stelltron has developed many individual devices that can record and store data easily. These small devices, called Personal Data Receptors (PDRs), have proven themselves highly useful in field tests. Medical personnel are able to record crucial information on the spot, and quickly search their specialized database contained in the device for any records that can assist them. Trading organizations can register and track their inventories and shipping data easily. Additional uses are continually unfolding for the PDRs, and Stelltron intends to stay at the forefront of the development of these devices.
