THE DIRECTORATEucked away in the remote galactic north-eastern regions o theOuter Reach, lies the domain o the most secretive, and almostcertainly the most sinister o the galaxy’s major powers: theDirectorate.

Its holdings are centred on the Anderson-Hadley-Keller systemtriad, separated rom the Aquan Sebrutan by the relatively narrow stretch o Dindrenzi territory known as the Wimms Corridor.In terms o size, it is the smallest o the major powers. However,easy access to the riches o the Outer Reach, together with theirormidable technological sophistication and secretive politicalmachinations, has made the Directorate very in uential.

Te Directorate was born amidst political and economic stri e. Tethree corporations at its heart, Hark Williams, Melcon and WorksRaptor, had grown immensely wealthy unding the colonisatione orts o the Outer Reach.

In the process, the corporations had taken a sizeable slice o theReach or themselves. In the a ermath o the First War betweenerra and the Commonwealth, they proceeded to buy theirreedom rom the cash-strapped Satellite Charter, in return or ahuge indemnity and a promise to share their uture advancementswith erra.

However, the Directorate corporations, under the leadershipo Ervan Bas o Hark Williams, never intended to honour thatagreement. Even as they signed the accord with the SatelliteCharter, Bas and his compatriots were already busy orging linkswith Rense Corp and the other leading lights o the nascent OuterReach liberation movement.

Teir motives or doing this were very simple: pro t. For decades,the corporations had made huge amounts o money supplyingthe demands o the struggling colonies o the Outer Reach. Hark Williams’ terra orming and li e support expertise had played akey role in rendering many otherwise hostile worlds habitable,including Raven’s Citadel in the Rense System, which wouldbecome the Dindrenzi capital planet.

Melcon’s biotech and cybernetic systems were undamental inproviding the initial basis or Dindrenzi advancement in thoseelds, while the weapons and spacecra provided by WorksRaptor allowed the colonists to expand and de end their gains.

By contrast, the markets or corporate services in the economically slumping Satellite Charter were insigni cant. When MarkusRense declared the Outer Reach independent, the Directorate wasquick to step in and o er the rebels a vast array o services, romshipbuilding and repair all the way up to intelligence-gathering –or a suitable ee.

Since that time, the Directorate has mostly tied its ortunes to theDindrenzi Federation. However, the corporations have never letmorality or treaties get in the way o their search or pro tableenterprises or their xation on technological supremacy.

Tey have sold weaponry, ships and expertise in any number o markets, legal and illegal. Tey have dealt with the Dindrenziand Relthoza and several smaller alien dominions such as theKedorians and Illosians.

Directorate agents have wormed their way into the politicalsystems o nearly every power in the Reach and beyond. Te

Directorate is the driving orce behind many o the causes o con ict between the other powers, even going as ar as to sponsorraiders and pirates inimical to its supposed allies.

Tey are major, though secretive backers o the Church o theDramos Angels, the most power ul undamentalist and human-supremacist action within the Dindrenzi Federation. Tey arebuilding next-generation warships or both the Rense SystemNavy and the Relthoza Empire.

But the corporations always put their own goals rst. For years,they have engaged in covert black-ops raids against the AquanSebrutan, eager to steal the secrets o Aquan biotechnology. Tey

have also mounted operations against the Sorylian Collective,again targeting research stations and isolated colonies.

Te purpose o these raids is ar darker than merely vandalism andthe . Te Directorate’s ironically named ‘Security Fleets’ have alsoengaged in the mass abduction o Aquan and Sorylian citizens.

Tese poor un ortunates are never seen again, but rumoursabound o their use as raw materials in horri c experimentation,as Directorate scientists seek to imbue horrible genetic hybridswith characteristics that will improve their combat abilities.

Te ailure rate is said to be extreme, leading to reports o asteroidsused as dumping grounds or the unspeakable end results o experiments gone awry.

Te society o the Directorate is unlike that o any o the othermajor powers, in that it is not a society at all. Te governingcorporations do not exist or the bene t o their populations –instead, the populations o the Directorate systems exist or thebene t and convenience o their corporate overlords.

Te management is the be-all and end-all o the Directorate. Tey are the masters o all they survey, and all else – the peoples andresources they govern, their enemies and their allies alike – arenothing but tools to be used and destroyed as required.
