Saeder-Krupp

German, and largest by almost any measure anybody publishes: heavy industry, oil, chemicals, aerospace, telecommunications. The kind of corporation whose products are inside other companies' products.

It is owned by Lofwyr, who is a great dragon, and not in the sense of a figurehead or a majority shareholder. He bought it and he runs it. He reads the reports.

What the crew knows#

• One owner, no board to play against, no factions to exploit. This is the only megacorp on the list with a single mind at the top of it.
• They are less present on this coast than the Japanese corps. Refineries, chemical plants, port contracts, industrial supply: infrastructure rather than storefronts. Around Los Angeles that means the South Bay and the harbor.
• Their people are unnervingly professional and their contracts are unnervingly precise. Runners who work for S-K tend to say the terms were exactly what they were told, which nobody says about anyone else.
• The worst outcome a job against them can have is the owner noticing it.

Standing with the crew#

None, and that is the best thing anybody can say about a relationship with them. Keep it.
