Intergalactic Summit

As some of you may know, Xiadii Family Holdings and Uchusen Technologies have been business partners for quite some time, and have been functioning under an unofficial alliance format for nearly a year. Upon my return from my sabbatical on Eclipticum and setting my holdings in order, my colleagues and I have decided to officially merge our corporations, and function as a true complete unit for mutual gain.

Offworld Trading Company is primarily a mining and industry corporation, albeit we are certainly not limited to only those ventures. As a corporation we are officially as neutral as possible for business purposes.

However, we do operate under an NRDS policy in accordance with laws of Providence regarding those that are specifically CVA friendly, as well as in the Providence region itself, and an NBSI policy everywhere else. This is to ensure the safety of our members during fleet operations in dangerous space. If you do not wish to have a hostile encounter when in our vicinity, please contact about standings prior to any engagement.

Also, to commemorate this momentous occurrence, I shall be personally holding an event at my palace on Eclipticum sometime in the near future. I shall post details on the event as soon as possible.

Another important development, Offworld Trading Company has officially opened The Otherworld Hub, a new Capsuleer-oriented (but not exclusive) restaurant in the Jita system. The Otherworld Hub is a company-owned establishment, so any expulsion from the premises requires a decision from the Board of Directors (although temporary removal remains at the discretion of the owners). Excluding any previously predetermined hostiles, this establishment is open to any and all who visits the Jita system!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Sincerly,

Vulxanis Viceroy, Offworld Trading Company Board Member

Congratulations on the merger. I think I'll take my brother and his fiancé out to your new establishment when it opens.

I hope you prosper in your ventures.

Well with the closure of the corporation my sisters and I worked for we've returned to our family home for a rest of sorts, before we follow our friends into yet another corporation sometime in the very near future. So I do actually have a little free time right now, albiet constantly interrupted by events planetside.

I'll certainly endeavor to drop into your new establishment soon, even if just for a fleeting visit. Will be nice to catch up.

Good Fortune.

Let's hope the margins favor your ventuooooooh a new restaurant in my favorite isk faucet.

I have to get out of the labs one of these days.

You mean the lab equipment owned by me, in laboratories owned by me, operated by me, administrated by me, staffed by me and generally existing only because I will it? Sure thing, Kimmy. They'll try and shoo me out I'm sure, losing the best educated researcher, administrator and technician in the solar system in the process.

You're weird.

Wait wait, WHO is the "best educated researcher" in the system?!...
Probably gonna be the best joke in IGS ever. I bet after that every circus will offer you a position. Especially for your "scientific" show.

@ Kimmeh: Not entirely sure if you're trying to imply the State educational system for technicians is of sub-par standards or if you're just being your usual charming self. Either way, the dirtsiders in my starbase systems certainly can't compete with the sheer amount of RnD education skillbooks I've digested and from everything I can tell checking local lists, I'm the only industrialist around most of the time.

I'd pit my education in a whole slew of scientific fields of inquiry against nine out of ten capsuleers and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a hundred thousand dirtsiders without hesitation. Of course, these things may be a bit beyond the scope of your rather odd world-view.

I can imagine Kimmy trained as a technician now.
I need more drugs to get that image out of my head.

@ OP: Out of curiosity, which particular fields of industry and trade are you focusing on? I'd like to know if there's competition or cooperation options ahead.

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

I thought as much.
We should have a chat about nice things.

Dusette: I like the blonde look, you carry it off well.
