Pan-Galactic Corporation (Star Frontiers)

The Pan-Galactic Corporation (aka Pan-Gal) started out as a passenger transport company before moving into shipping, colonization, and manufacturing. It's now thanks to the trading posts, colonies it's sponsored, etc a major Corporation. It's administration is very cosmopolitan in make up and it's employees diverse. The Pan-Galactic Corporation is responsible for creating Pan-Galactic- an artificial language constructed to simplify interstellar trade. It's become the most common language in Frontier Space due to the company's expansive influence. Even the Standard Energy Unit was conceived by the company.
== Activities ==
The company is most known on the civilized worlds for transporting people from system to system, and planet to planet but along the frontier is know for driving territorial expansion of the United Planetary Federation. The company sponsors colonial projects of which citizens of the United Planetary Federation may apply for. Pan-Galactic puts forward transportation to the colonial site and expects exclusive shipping and passenger transport with that colony for an agreed upon number of decades. This effectively means that imports to the colony come through Pan-Galactic which thus has an advantage selling it's manufactured goods to such settlements. With in the UPF it's become the corporate face of expansionism.
== Subsidiaries ==
* Pan-Galactic Railways
== Products ==
Pan-Galactic manufactures product with travel in mind. Not only focused on transporting people but making equipment and utilities portable. As such they are popular on the frontier. One can generally find these for sale at any PGC Starport.

* Chronocompass - This resembles a Chronocom but is incapable of performing basic calculations. Instead this combination Wristwatch, Communicator utilizes the calculator space for a compass. It's cheaper then a Chronocom and more useful to travelers.

* Standard Spacesuit - PGC spacesuits meet the UPF's regulations. The suits are white in color with a blue forward visor that acts as Sungoggles. Suits designed for use by Humans are the most common with Starliners servicing planets of mixed or non-Human populations needing to file a special order for suits designed for other species. The typical air tank lasts for one hour though the most common users will rely on umbilical's while doing work. During an emergency passengers are to rely on lifepods.
* PGC Suitcase - A grey suitcase with the company's blue and white logo on it.

Pan Galactic first began producing Robots to maintain their spaceports, serve passengers awaiting the boarding of a ship, in some cases as managers, and to provide security to it's hangers and fuel depots. They are largely built to serve the company and not for retail. The exception comes in it's product lines aimed at colonies it sponsors.
* PGC-FC - A very simple robot, the FC cleans and waxes the floors of spaceports. A pole with a Pan-Gal flag on it let's pedestrians know of it's presence to avoid injury to them and damage to the machine.
* PGC-CB - When Pan-Galactic uses Cybots they model them on the most populous species near the spaceport as they can expect local customers to be of that species. Cybots require the most diverse maintenance- a mixture of medical treatments and mechanical tune ups. Which makes them the most difficult to maintain in bulk. As such PGC-CBs are usually found at the companies high earning spaceports as opposed to those on the frontier.
