"The Karkarodon Chapter"

After a long series of events that occurred in one day, the CEO of Hyperion Company, now rivaling "Czerka Corporation" for mining outposts in the Cularin System Asteroid Belt. Once, a jungle homeworld now turned into mineral deposits to be used as hiding places for smugglers. The Company recently expanded by purchasing one of the abandoned outposts. After ridding the outpost of its pirate inhabitants, it's been developed into a mere mining station. Czerka Corporation proves to be threatening with their mercenaries, but that won't not stop Hyperion Company's determination to deliver invaluable weaponry to their customers. The Company's legal status remains to be questioned.

Grégori Babineau was brought in to make up for the "New Roseburgh Incident." An expert on logistics, Babineau's Union Delegates have already gathered workers and miners to build a direct supply line of songsteel from the Asteroids in the Cularin System. Trains to carry the Songsteel, they're brought back to the warehouses and storage depots on a stable asteroid only later to be sold to interested individuals. Grégori Babineau now oversees the Cularin System, exploiting it for its minerals while keeping it safe from pirates and raider gangs.

The Mining Union is satisfied with their current payroll, not questioning where the money supposedly came from. Raw Songsteel was mined and brought out to the Mining Station to be become a solid Ingot, every ingot is capable of only improving armor. It would take 10 ingots to create a full-set of armor. Workers have been renovating Station to become a workshop, further and future plans for the stations are discussed thoroughly with leaders of the Company. Battle Droids have been manufactured and assigned as guards throughout the Station. A factory is being set up for stockpile in order to sell private armies to interested individuals. The Company's legal status remains to be questioned.

Dr. Haastal, the Head of the Scientific Department of Hyperion Co. improved the old CIS Vulture Droids into the newly-fashioned VM-23s. Adding them to Hyperion's stockpile of heavily armored weaponized droids. In order to satisfy the orders for these droids, Hyperion Co. purchased a Zersium Mine from the Ubdurian corporation "Kanta Korporation." An essential mineral for the production of Durasteel. Hired labor renovated the Mining Base for deep-drilling, the bedrock of the planet Nag Ubdur was flecked with zersium, which prompted the Company to strip-mine the world. The Company's legal status remains to be questioned.

The Mining Union dispatched workers and delegates to oversee operations on Nag Ubdur. Meanwhile, in the criminal underworld, there's alot of muckraking regarding organized crime and militarized cartels. Crimelords, gang leaders and supposed bounty hunters are relying on the Company's products. The Company has a laissez-faire attitude when these events occur, not picking a side. The Company will forever remain neutral in wartime and will serve all customers regardless of their affiliations. Capitalizing during wartime, the Company seeks adventure in exploiting more minerals and exploring new worlds only to further examine and employ their inhabitants. Exercising land rights and mining laws, only to exert the inhabitants for work labor. The Company's legal status remains to be questioned.

Grégori Babineau diversified Hyperion Company's customer profile by selling weapons for Rinnrivin Di, a Kajain'sa'Nikto crime lord who operated a powerful and dangerous spice cartel, operating from the planet Bastatha. Di's cartel targeted the commercial shipping lanes around Ryloth and was considered to be a rival to even the greatest Hutt crime organizations at their peak. Grégori Babineau sold rifles and explosives to Di's cartel, expanding their paramilitary army of thugs and drug dealers. With the promise of a partnership and a fine addition to Hyperion's VIP membership of exclusive weapons, Di offered free passage, transport and protection along Di's commercial shipping lanes. A successful business deal made, the two parties celebrate with Toniray wine, a rare and sought-after Alderaanian wine by connoisseurs. However, the Company's legal status remains to be questioned.

Grégori Babineau further diversified Hyperion Company's customer profile by making contact with the Guavian Death Gang, a gang that was driven out of the Core Worlds due to unrest in the galactic underworld, having employed deadly soldiers in high-impact red cybernetic armor. Grégori Babineau reluctantly exchanged a payroll for guns-for-hire. The Guavian Death Gang was finally employed for their ruthlessness. The Guavian Death Gang also reluctantly shared information about their red high-impact cybernetic armor that incorporated segmented gauntlets, flexible armor shin guards, ablative gorget armor, an ammunition pouch and a utility belt. Designed to be worn by cybernetically-enhanced humans, they communicated via high-frequency data streams transmitted from the central sensor and broadcasting dish in their faceplates. Its user immune to a blaster's stun setting and allowed them to survive in a vacuum and underwater for up to ten minutes. Babineau was somewhat interested in this. Leaving the Company's legal status remaining to be questioned.

Grégori Babineau encouraged an Imperial Governor, Aymar "The Knuckle" Chauff leading the star destroyer "The Expedition" to find and explore new worlds. Upon arrival on the planet of Poseirei, Babineau and Chauff were approached by a Karkarodon. A big brute of a shark without his webbings, which both found it suspiciously odd. The Karkarodon introduced himself as "Behram" proclaiming to be King of Poseirei. The Governor and Gangster found this very suspicious as no one else was on the water-planet. Behram was later discovered to be an escaped convict with a rap-sheet file about 10 feet thick. To avoid a fight with the Karkarodon, a deal was made to establish pipelines for resources from the planet of Poseirei in exchange for a small-arms arsenal. The brutish shark tolerated this. The mineral Isotope-5, one of the rarest was discovered on the planet. A Hyperion Deep-Core Mining operation was built.

Grégori Babineau and Governor Aymar respectfully recognize Behram's rule on Poseirei. The entire planet was a water-world with the exception of a plot of land, lowered, where giant waterfalls would surround Poseirei's capital city. With Behram's Kingdom rising from the ground and peaked above the sea-level. Hyperion Company can now manufacture and produce as many of their products as necessary. Using the deep-caves beneath the city, tunnel-networks were turned into massive caverns. Isotope-5 is a powerful mineral, once stabilized, a single canister could power an entire droid factory. Babineau's trains maintain a steady stream of supply, the Mining Union expanded their horizons depositing workers and miners on Poseirei. Behram was intimidating with his aura alone, especially with his retrospective past. Behram was however pleased with the steady stream of wealth he was developing. After a successful and maintained operation on the new water-world of Poseirei. The Gangster and Governor make their leave to further roam the galaxy, exploring worlds later to be exploiting them. Behram's rule on Poseirei remains to be questioned as is the Company's legal status.

Behram toured the newly-built mining facilities throughout Poseirei. Deep-down, he despised and disliked the exploitation, tempted to simply demolish the entire Kingdom of Poseirei and rebuild from the ashes. However, to keep his gentle-giant façade persona, he must tolerate the mining operations and seek ways to call upon the "Karkarodon Don" by leaving the planet discreetly. Meanwhile, Hydroid Medusas were discovered roaming the oceans. Hyperion Scribes and Researchers study these creatures as the mining continues down below. Grégori Babineau and Governor Aymar later learned the Hydroid Medusa' discovery and were immediately listed as weapons to be sold. Grégori Babineau and Governor Aymar continued their expedition for mineral sources throughout the galaxy, while encountering smuggling groups and fellow trading conglomerates. All with good intention, the Governor and Gangster freely stroll and browse through services and products.

Behram discreetly left the water-world of Poseirei, seeking the "Karkarodon Don" on Karkaris, the homeworld of Karkarodons. Upon arrival, he was immediately approached by the Don. After a long conversation on world views and beliefs, Behram and the Don dived into business together, with the promise of lifting Behram's banishment. Behram was ordered to sabotage Hyperion's operations on Poseirei. Skeptically, Behram returned to Poseirei and oversaw Hyperion's mining facilities only growing. Behram then massacred working miners and armed guards on Poseirei, turning the Butcher Bay's former prison into a ticking time-bomb. In this process, Karkarodon enforcers kept watch on Behram, relaying their insights back to the Don. Behram then murdered the enforcers in a fit of rage, perceiving them watching him as a back-stabbing betrayal and disrespect to Behram's cover. Grégori Babineau and Governor Aymar returned with the Guavian Death Gang as security detail. Approaching the King's Keep, on the bridge stood Behram, the Great Karkarodon, terrorist and kingslayer. Grégori Babineau and Governor Aymar attempted to negotiate terms with Behram. Behram's response was the detonation of Butcher Bay Correctional Facility below Poseirei's capital city. The Guavian Death Gang protected Grégori Babineau and Governor Aymar from the blast, leading them to safety. Behram's body was never found on Poseirei. Hyperion Company called upon a construction company to rebuild the entirety of Poseirei former city. Percy Guillory, the Concrete King, was on the job. The Company's legal status remains to be questioned.
