Prett Conglomerates

**Prett Conglomerates** is an international, multi-industrial conglomerate founded by in 2148 by Ogden Prett of the highly influential aristocrat family: the Pretts. It's current CEO is Dorian Prett who took over the company after his father, Dawson, passed away. The company specializes in shipping, technology, communications, manufacturing, construction and other subsidiaries.

## Founding

Prett Conglomerates was founded by the then twenty-four year old Ogden Prett, who came from a family of old-money aristocrats and wanted to use his families money to become all powerful in the world, so the Prett family name would live on forever. Originally, the company specialised in manufacturing, being named Prett International and began to make high end products for larger corporations, which were in much need after the North American War destroyed many other manufacturers.

## Expanding

Twenty years after being founded, with Ogden still running the show, Prett International began branching out into other industries, the first being technology after the fact holographic technology became increasingly successful. With that, Prett Conglomerates was born with International and Technology becoming subsidiaries of the family business. Another subsidiary of Prett Conglomerates was Prett Funding, an organization that invested in and supplied other companies with loans, resources and knowledge, having been involved in getting several major companies off the ground including Jessup Ultimate and High Tech Corporation.

Now with three subsidiaries of Prett Conglomerates - International, Technology and Funding - , Ogden made his three children, Daphne, Waldon and Felix, the CEOs of each branch respectively. Daphne Prett, the eldest, helped expand Prett International with shipping and supplying to buyers across the globe from washing machines for suburban families to advanced surveillance systems for mega corporations. Waldon Prett, a child prodigy and tech genius, not only turned Prett Technology into one of Prett Conglomerates' biggest profiteers, but made a breakthrough in neurotechnology with the PCT Lenses, contact lenses that linked up with the user's heart rate, nervous system and brain waves. Whilst Felix Prett, the youngest of the three, may not have been as smart as his older siblings, he was kind and compassionate, believing in technological advancements always needing to retain the human factor as to not create something out of man's control. He and his husband also founded the Prett Conglomerates Gala, a charity event attended by corporate officials and celebrities to support the less fortunate.

## Affiliations

Over the years, the bigger Prett Conglomerates got, the more partnerships and contracts they received. The company was one of the 24 corporations featured in the controversial 2240 Corporate Leadership and Ruling Bill put forward by then President Cecil O'Dwyer, a former corporate liquidator and CEO of Lahey Consulting, which would see that these mega-corporations could put forward bills, laws and have a say on government decisions. Unfortunately, this bill was permanently dismissed a decade later by President Amir Ruderhar.

Outside of the C.L.R.B, Prett Conglomerates still held many government contracts. They had provided tech to almost every single Governor's Estate across all states, supplied holographic technology to command bases and army stations and helped fund the Polo Tixx Place in New Washington. As well as government contracts, Prett Conglomerates had affiliations with many other big-time corporations from across the globe, including Van Kessel & Co., EnigmaTech and Powden Technologies, the former of which Prett Funding helped get off the ground.

Away from the public eye, Prett Conglomerates was recruited to become an asset of The House of Power, with the current CEO and each one following becoming an Ascendant. Now under the House of Power's umbrella, Prett Conglomerates went on to support and supply several of the collective's projects and other organizations, including suppling tech to The Systems, which they both sponsored and took part in.
