Star Factories Monopoly

Pilots are all too familiar with Star Factories. If you need a mech, if you need a weapon or if you need equipment you simply have to deal with Star Factories by and large. They are the largest weapons and mecha suppliers across the galaxy. They have a stranglehold on commerce from one end of the galaxy to another. Unless you wish to deal with all Bishop mecha from Talbus arms, or the Antithesis from the factory captured by The Brotherhood in the first faction Wars, or even Dr. Drake himself for the plans your choices in mecha are limited.

Simple fact is everyone at one time or another has to deal with them. This makes them the single most powerful corporate entity to exist. Some claim they have advanced knowledge of Forerunner plans and designs as is seen by the manufacture of the beast mecha Skraig, Gigus and Nakshi in such large numbers. They could have found and backwards engineered a handful but since the time of those mechas resurgence they have been sold in vast numbers. Nothing  short of Forerunner design or even Forerunner help  could account for such things.

Many have even suggested to petition the galactic senate to break up the Mega corporations hold on the galaxy and redistribute some designs to other manufacturers. So far such cries have fallen on deaf ears, or if they haven't those in power are simply helpless against the corporate Juggernaut. Only time will tell if their power will ever be broken but as stands now they are the single largest entity in our galaxy and as such can honestly be said to be behind each and every major conflict thus far,as they supply to all sides regardless of rules, territories, or right or wrong. This makes them easily the most amoral figure in the galaxy and the politics that govern such.
