AgriCorps
Relationships are fracturing, The forces of the free market are shifting steadily towards conquest, Resources are diminishing, and conflict over an ever decreasing number of new worlds becomes more frenetic. Small skirmishes over outposts and yet-unclaimed production worlds threaten to become total war. When the fog clears, who will be on top?

Derrian Agricultural Consortium
For its time, the Derrian Agricultural Consortium was the most established and powerful agricultural provider to all of Beacon Space, not just AgriSec. Limits to their influence were throttled by the Beacon Trade Association to maintain competitive parity with the rest of the AgriCorps. Libertarian to its core, a common slogan of Leadership was “Government regulation is bad, Greed is Good”. Primarily invested into the livestock industry, the DAC exported 80% of AgriSec’s Meat, Leather, Milk, and Fertilizer products. Secondary industry supports various other operations of DAC with significant positions in mining, felling, and refining of various raw resources. Occasional exports of Fish, Protein substitutes, and fresh fruits and vegetables made their way to AgriSec internal markets, but rarely at a volume for BTA to justify exporting.

Memnos Harbifab
Conquerors of colonization and terraforming, Memnos' pride rests on being tough, hardy frontiersmen ready to make a home anywhere. Found at the forefront of an exploration and colonization push they often pass planets along to other corps after initial infrastructure is established. Of course, such a deal doesn't occur until after the bills have been repaid. Despite Memnos' setbacks over the years with colonies established in difficult places shuttering due to lack of investment, or maintenance upkeep given the lack of long-term commitment to any one colony. Authoritarian, Industrian, and Militarian the production of tanks and warships occasionally outstrips their productions of tractors and haulers destined for frontier colonies. Mutual respect drives Memnos forward, however they've always had an eye on the unobtainable.
Abandoned Colonies (with reasons!)
- Choupiqu ("Choupiqu was lost to forces outside of our control, but as our founder always said 'Colonies may come and go, but our pioneering spirit is forever.'")
- Rougarou ("Rougarou has unfortunately exceeded the resources we are willing to provide a new colony. Call it a strategic retreat - we're just giving other corporations a chance to catch up.")
- St. Sebastian ("Every setback is just another opportunity to test our resilience and St. Sebastian is proof of this, who could have foreseen the difficulty of living on a planet made entirely from water absorbing rocks?")
- Couvillion ("The universe is vast, and so are our opportunities for redemption, those who failed to properly resource the poor people of Couvillon however will get it in the neck.")
- Pointe D’ecrevisse ("Pointe d'Ecrevisse is no longer responding to any messages and our exploration crews cannot find any evidence of their existence. Our colonies might disappear, but our determination is here to stay.")

Bīja Bearers
Originally founded as a local greenhouse produce producer, the Bīja Bearers grew into a communal colonial venture. Pursuing its believes of 'Profit through Progress' Bīja always aimed to genuinely make the environments in which it operated better, keeping a sense of the original world despite the aggressive terraforming needed for agricultural development. Such preservation and restoration of exotic wonders took its toll, with legacy colonies often losing needed support once the luster wore off and a new shiny planetary project took interest. Bīja genuinely made its worlds better, so long as its attention wasn't distracted for too long... otherwise well... they don't want to make the mistake of Shango again.

Beacon Trade Association
Shrewd businesspersons and even smarter traders, the BTA was the ubiquitous trade power of AgriSec. With fierce control over the only known Jumpgate back to Beacon Space Proper along with access to the sector's only remaining functional technologically superior equipment their trade services were essential and limiting on all three major AgriCorp powers. Service improvements only begot prices increases and the need for ever increasing corporate control. AgriSec was nothing without the BTA, or so they claimed. Amassing large volumes of wealth both physical and digital led the BTA to ensure no interference in their daily operations.

Ka Caregivers
Despite origins lost to time immemorial, the Caregivers' recent history prior to arrival in AgriSec was well known. A band of traveling Healers spreading the Good Word providing nourishment to the souls and bodies of millions. In their travels a vast catalog of peoples and cultures was recorded and kept proudly as an ancestral record of the Good Work provided by their people. Individuals of many species and cultures signed up to follow in their mission bolstering the monastic ranks while mastering the Ka's skills, traditions, and internal calm. Guided by a mission of Good Deeds they floated above the petty internal conflicts and strife of encountered cultures. Driven not by superiority but as a shepherd to their flock, they guided individuals to the Good Truth only Ka knows that "We are all one people united by a shared soul" hoping that this universe would be a little better if we were all a little kinder. Despite this rose-colored view, the Ka were not perfect, for when others tried to spread the Good Word... Ka knows they do it wrong.

With independence fiercely earned Shango arose from a former glorious but since deteriorating Bīja Bearers colony. In an effort to preserve their own reputation Bīja negotiated their release but all of Shango knows of this charade. With a decade since earned independence, Shango has grown into its fierce independence developing a system of laws, establishing an intra-connected economy, and maintaining a semblance of unified power. Masters of war, Shango's elite units are well known to be operating across AgriSec carrying Shango's independence influence far beyond its own borders.
