Eldfell-Ashland Energy Corporation

One of the largest and most profitable energy corps in the entire galaxy, EAE has its origins as Ashland Energy. The Ashland Energy Corporation successfully extracted helium-3 from Saturn's atmosphere in 2137 CE, beginning a new era of fusion research for humanity. On the wave of this success, they merged with Eldfell Construction, Incorporated to vertically integrate the two companies' strengths. Ashland would recover the raw materials for energy production, and Eldfell would build power plants, refineries, and pipelines on nearby worlds to distribute Ashland's products to the consumer. Eldfell-Ashland Energy was born.

As EAE's reach extended, they absorbed companies to create a "cradle-to-grave corporate experience" for their employees. Today, subsidiaries such as Second Star Living recruit colonists to staff EAE facilities, and the education group Excelsior Orbital provides job-related education opportunities to provide EAE stations with a qualified incoming workforce. Water, power, food, shipping--EAE provides them all. If EAE wants to put a colony on a garden world, they are able to do so and keep 90% of services performed completely in-house, creating consumers out of its own employees. Its primary revenue stream, however, continues to come from mining base elements like hydrogen, helium-3, and eezo and maintaining considerable control of the market. This has led to EAE becoming one of, if not the most lucrative and powerful energy corp in Citadel Space and the Attican Traverse.

In addition to EAE's primary focuses and subsidiaries, they also operate a sizable Security Division, utilizing the products of other companies such as Kassa Fabrication, Hahne-Kedar and Ariake Technologies as well as in-house developed military tech, such as highly specialized, highly durable armored mech frames, advanced automated security, and repellent devices.
