Zeon Corporation

Art by SunkenTech

The **Zeon Corporation** is a mega-corporation that operates on the Qethos Ark, primarily in the City of Klaybury. The company operates in many fields of industry, from manufacturing to pharmaceuticals. Recently, the Zeon Corporation has been accumulating properties across Klaybury and its influence is felt more strongly in the city than the Qethosian government itself.

## Objectives

The primary objective of the Zeon Corporation is to make profit, the standard goal of most businesses. However, it appears that Zeon has ulterior motives with the city of Klaybury, buying up properties across the city and providing most of the city's jobs and security. This display of dominance and control over the city mimics a form of governance, though the company itself is still bound to the laws of Qethos.

## Description

Members of the Zeon Corporation can be usually identified by their distinctive suits, imitating the three-piece suits of present day Earth.

## Organizational Structure

The Zeon Corporation operates like most modern companies. The company is likely split into multiple departments with different objectives, headed by a manager. These managers answer to a series of directors who acts as middle management and are responsible for a major business function. These directors in turn answer to the corporate executives led by the Chief Executive Officer, Kray Voldman, who manages the business as a whole to maximize the corporation's profits and achieving the company's mission. The company likely has a board of directors that the CEO reports to, an executive committee that jointly supervises the company and sets out its overall direction.

## Etymology

"*Zeon*" is a Greek word which means "*boiling*". The word is used in Eastern Orthodox tradition to describe the action in which hot water added to the chalice during the Divine Liturgy of Rite of Constantinople.

Zeon was also the name of the Principality that declared its independence from the Earth Federation in the anime series *Mobile Suit Gundam*, leading to the war that triggered the series' main conflict.

A "*corporation*" is an organization, usually consisting of group of people or a company, that is authorized by the state to act as a single entity (AKA a legal entity similar to that of an individual) and recognized as such by private and public law.
