Supermajors

The supermajors or superprofits are the largest corporate entities in the known galaxy. They originate from the Terran Federal Republic, but they all operate across known space. They collectively employ billions, generate profits in the quintillions and their market values surpass the galactic GDP by an order of magnitude. Most of them developed out of the dissolution of the Terran State Corporation, the largest non-governmental entity in history, which was the company the term was coined for. Today the supermajors are all privately-owned, but they collaborate extremely closely with the Federal Government, their largest shareholder and whose bureaucrats often end up on the boards of these corporations. All of the supermajors have a two-tier board structures. Over the years, many other terms have been used for the supermajors, including but not limited to: the supermonopolies, megatrusts, superconcerns, and the more politically correct ultra-high value corporations. 
The supermajors today are: C2I, the galaxy's principal producer of chemicals, raw minerals and FTL fuel; General Appliances, which accounts for half of all military equipment sales in the galaxy; Neue-King, a conglomerate of the universe's largest banking, consulting and insurance firms; Clarktech Ltd., the company at the forefront of most developments in AI, shielding, FTL and energy technologies; Frijkstadt, a major construction firm and bank and the only institution to have ever succeeded in terraforming planets; MRGS, dealing in industrial equipment and vehicles; Maersk, the sole interstellar transport corporation in the Terran Republic; and Nortel Networks, the largest communications and software services company in known space. They are all part of the ALEPH megalobby.
